Gone - DE/EU: Atorch DL24MP in a hacksaw job case

Edit: already taken

Don't shoot me for this. I was young, I needed the money. I bought the Atorch to use it as a cheap load but quickly got tiered of its form factor. I had this HTPC case lying around and after some beer, the idea to just cut the backside away, replace it by a 3D print and put the load inside appeared as a brilliant idea. It is a hacksaw job as much as it can be but it gets the job done.

The power supply is inside, the switch is illuminated and switches 230V power to the PSU. I added the rotational encoder and an enable/disable button for easier operation than via the original tiny buttons, which still work anyway. There are banana jacks for sense (left) and load (right). It was a quick and dirty job, nothing I am proud of but also nothing I found worth investing more time or attention, just was annoyed by the block-with display-upside appearance of the Atorch.

I used it a few times to test some batteries but found a good offer for a Kunkin some time after and never used it since then.

Are you a student or a hobbyist short on budget that would make good use of it? Drop me a line and it's yours for the shipping costs.

Did I already ask not to shoot me for this? Better asking a second time then.

Don't be too worried about anyone wanting to shoot you.  Many of us have early projects that have seen much less effort in case integration.  Yours has several features that are to be acknowledged, such as being a complete enclosure of appropriate size with a functional front panel ... and that it has done the job.

Back in my day, 3D printers were research curiosities and my "tin bashing" efforts lacked even the most rudimentary tools - but I could use a nibbler quite effectively.

To be honest, I had better luck with some bits of plywood - but many projects never found a home.
