I need a new bench power supply

I need a new bench power supply - Lemmy.world

Hello, I did manage to kill my cheap-ish bench supply causing it to randomly output up to like 300% the set voltage when under load which did already kill one board. Probably I didn’t actively kill it but the chinesium did its job 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was a single output supply, when needed I hooked up additional buck- or linear regulators to get additional voltages which isn’t that convenient. So I’d like to get a reliable new one with at least two, preferably three outputs. Is something like a Keysight EDU36311A worth it for daily but mainly hobby usage? I’d be okay with the price if it would be like the last supply I ever have to buy. Alternatively a Siglent SPD3303X (or the -E) it’s also a triple output supply (the third channel only has three predefined voltages tho which is kind of a downside).

I’m currently working on a more complex project that uses double sided assembly (and a weird USB-C connector). To practice these things a little, I ordered some low cost boards to get used to that connector and explore double sided reflow (which seems easier than I expected). For those who are interested, this is a reference design from framework computer for their expansion card system. It can be programmed with circuitpython or Arduino and utilises a SAMD21 microcontroller.

I created a little shelf-city over time that is connected with a monorail line.
