The Ammo Box Mounting System provides a quick and easy way to secure a Meanwell LRS 350 or LRS 600 power supply along with virtually all of our controller mounts into the popular Harbor Freight Ammo Boxes to make a simple electronics enclosure. Designs are available for both the 30 caliber and 50 caliber ammo boxes and while they are different, they both work in similar fashions. The 30 caliber version consists of a lower insert and an upper mount and the power supply simply fits on its side and is held in place by the mount profile when the lid is closed. The 50 caliber version has a lower mount and two side mounts that can hold up to two Meanwell LRS 350 or LRS 600 power supplies with the use of the included power supply standoffs. The power supplies in the 50 caliber version sit flat and are staggered for easy access to both sets of terminals. The mounting system works with all of our Meanwell LRS mounts* (sold separately), so you can mount any of the accessories such as distro boards, receiver boards, Raspberry pi’s and even full size 16 port controllers such as the Falcon F16. While you can fit a full size controller or 16 port expansion board on the smaller 30 caliber boxes, generally speaking those should be limited to no more than two 4 port receiver sized boards and use the 50 caliber boxes for the larger builds. The download contains both solid and two piece versions of the mounts for those with smaller print beds. See below for more information and a video showing how the Ammo Box Mounting System works.

Description

On the 30-caliber box, no additional hardware is needed to attach the power supply, the mounting system itself holds it securely in place.

On the 50-caliber box, the power supplies attach to the mounts using M4 × 6 mm screws. A single power supply requires four screws, while a dual-power-supply setup requires twelve.

* On the 50 caliber box when using a dual-power-supply configuration with those controller mounts that attach to both sides of the power supply, an additional 4 mm spacer is needed to compensate for material thickness. We offer spacers specifically designed for the LRS-350 and LRS-600 models. In this setup, eight of the M4 screws will need to be slightly longer to accommodate the added thickness of the spacers.

The latest Ammo Box version 3 mounts are fully backwards compatible with all previous generations of controller mounts. Version 3 mounts can easily be identified by observing text on the mounts as the previous generations had no text.

While the 30 caliber Ammo Box mounts have versions for both the LRS 350 and LRS 600 power supplies, room inside the box is tight when the LRS 600 is used and we do not typically recommend it’s use.

Similarly the 50 caliber Ammo Box mount supports utilizing dual LRS 350 and 600 power supplies, however this really should be restricted to the LRS 350 as space inside the box with two LRS 600 power supplies is tight.
