Its a little overkill, i thought the regulator board was a little smaller when i ordered it. it came in and a that was the only project box crapshack sold that it would fit in. After it was all put together i was glad i had the larger box, it made working inside of it much easier.
It does what you designed it to do and it looks really durable. I bet it works great too.
I am also guilty of vaping and driving....
LM2596 Stepdown regulator in a 3x2x1 RadioShack box. Plenty of room for a display, just haven't got around to it yet. I have version 2 ready to build with a different potentiometer and knob instead of a screw adjust, just have to get around to it.

Nice work.
IDEA!
Make one out of a CB radio mic.
and have it plug directly into the lighter socket...
can be made to look very inconspicuous and easily accessible with a CB mic. holder.
OFF to find a spare dash for my '84 Jetta !

Been using my truck box for a long time. Did blow the fuse in the cig plug once when the SS wick shorted but no other problems.
