Benchtop PSU

This, for a change, is not a pure prop. It's a fully functional benchtop PSU, made from a 2nd hand computer ATX PSU and made to look like some tech-gear from Alien, Fallout or Borderlands.
The case around the actual PSU is 3d printed, designed in Fusion 360, then painted and weathered.

Nearly finished, now fully functional, but the carry cage is still being painted
