I got a transformer  custom made...

Where did you get this done and how much did it set you back?


This is back in 2022, so prices may be different now.

Complete order was for two transformers.
AS-3435 - 300VA 35V Transformer  Custom made 0-15-23-35V was $52.00 USD 
Also got a AN-10440 - 1000VA 40V Transformer Custom made 0-10-20-30-40V for $119.00 USD

A couple threads from a similar project:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/question-on-power-supply-diodes/

In the end the completed power supply seemed to operate reasonably well (at least for the price), and the project was fun and a good learning experience.

The nice point if the kit is that it gets away with a simple transformer. Though the choice of voltage is a bit tricky as one usually is rather close to (or above)  the maximum voltage of the OP-amps. The more universal circuit is using 2 separate windings or transformers. Tap switching adds more voltages and the more commone center taped winding is not ideal, though it would probably be the best choice for a kit that does not come with the transformer.

The other kit looks good and may resemble one of the simple lab supplies. Here simpler 2 tap swiching may have been the better choice.
