    Tested on prototype board; 430mA.

    Top side, TPS56637 step-down IC is the hottest at 25C, followed by inductor and switch bracket. I just touched power jack at far left, so that's not actual temp.

    Bottom side, center is at 23C, the max spots are my finger (can see through top left mounting hole too) and LED strip in background.

    That's insane compared to 7805 or LM1084. Humungous difference in efficiency and heat (never expected it to be so much difference).

    I can touch this with my fingers.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!
