@SukkoPera: I would be really surprised if you would not have your own design ( really cool  )
Thank you for the additional information, USB-C is the future, as Apple learned it in the hard way too.
It makes powering up the 1541/II and 1581 a child's play! We will not look back to the heavy bricks anymore...
(BTW in our computer mainly (only?) the datasette needs the 12V, otherwise 5V would be enough)
I just noticed that there is a much cheaper PIY downloadable housing files on the SAME homepage, even the dual 1581D (rumoured 1582) in a nice A3000 like housing. Sorry that I just linked the expensive version.
Worth to mention, that this PCB uses a different sized switch than the original one; this 3D model contains the required modifications

Thank you for your kind offer!
I have in my mind a full black 1581, black floppy drive, even black PCB...
(certainly the IEC serial cable should be black too )
