Review on D-PLANET [2-Pack] LM2596s Buck Converter Step-Down Voltage Regulator Power Module 36V 24V 12V to 5V 2A Voltage Stabilizer with LED Display by Matt Louis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

One didn't work, the other exploded

Like many, I bought them after they came up with the recommendation to replace the standard 3D printer fan (24V) with Noctua (12V). Everything perfectly connected, switched on. The display showed the expected input voltage. But I could not change the output voltage. No matter how long I turned this screw. Didn't move a bit. Thought I'd try another one as it was here and I only needed one. Connected exactly the same. It exploded almost immediately. I do not know why. Put the other one back, still works fine except for the issue of not being able to change the output. That's all I bought these things for!

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Will write later
