Mean Well PSU mounted 5V+/- Distribution Block UserMod added.

Which mods are added by this PR?

This is a 5v+/- distribution block that affixes to the side of many Mean Well brand PSUs

How was it tested?

I tested these on an LRS 200 and 350 - 24V PSU

Any background context you want to provide?

The commonly used 5V PSUs only have one positive and negative terminal, this mod is intended to streamline 5V device wiring by feeding those individual connections to 2x WAGO 221-415s to be used as distribution blocks for the low reference line to the 24V PSU, RasPi, and chamber lighting.

5V +/- distribution blocks for multiple Mean Well PSUs

Tired of crowding the one positive and negative terminal on your 5V PSU? Want to add chamber LEDs and more? Then this mod is just for YOU! This WAGO 221-415 based distribution block is intended to locate and fasten to the slots and threaded well feature on many Mean Well power supplies such as the LRS and RSP series so that it can sit in proximity to your 5V PSU, making for easier wiring of 5V devices. Simply mirror the .STL in slicer if you'd like to mount to the same feature elsewhere on the PSU. The green arrow in the electronics bay picture indicates the corner where I will be mounting this, in proximity to the 5V PSU. Credit goes to Boingomw and DeepFriedHeroin for their similar designs, thanks for the inspiration and the borrowed tolerances for the WAGO retention.
