Your AC side will work as you have it drawn. However you should probably switch the Yellow/Green and the Neutral around.

As far as hooking up your DC powered devices, you actually have 3 output connections on the DC side of your converter as I mentioned above. One DC  output (circuit) would be one set of Com and one +V, the second would be another set of Com and +V and the third would be the last open set of Com and a +V.

To attach more then three devices like several servos or a string of lights you can run these output ports to terminal blocks and tree out from there. You could use something like this: [url=https://www.amazon.com/Terminal-Positions-Pre-Insulated-Terminals-MILAPEAK/dp/B08ZXLDLSX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=351JVG8432W03&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3TFZLI1poRCkR-reac_VVxMzYwDF5qX-TTV6u2-pIsL8TpDpOQwlrHqus-tJY0aZR-R-4ZxlEllbV8LPu6T9DAAuPqfs3q4-47OwjAHR9fXYpXhAKrcHvSzansLjVPBE851JZJ_9PBb6oQxCrz_kKEgMjt0T_EYqxNTPhMozVCnzrS_0ZuPQTbVQopRc48V2vOmqLeq4ljrWBdkkWT6_um7pXkZby0Jt-T_rp9Dv5CpKW5UYn6N0YwWkKxY1a5-dTDUzHJwygqD9z-CqBdl-mLPUQBDrjHDGLaA6nyOwHzo.2c47viG0sEou5msHKQsp9qr_4PI56um0K_AIaJ5emFI&dib_tag=se&keywords=terminal+block+jumper&qid=1714948781&s=industrial&sprefix=Terminal+Block%2Cindustrial%2C96&sr=1-3]Terminal block and jumpers

so i go from COM  to a therminal blocks  ? so one wire go's from COM to therminal block ? i only need 3 of them ?

It really depends how many devices you have to power and how you want to split up your load. Without seeing your needs I would say you could use 4 wiring blocks. One for the Com (neutrals) and one each for each of the +V curicuts.

Perhaps you could get better advice if you ask the Imoov builders how they powered and wired up their robots. They could give you the best ways to power and wire up your new Imoov robot. It's such a unique robot with unique needs. Is there a website somewhere on the internet where someone has posted wiring diagrams for the Imoov? I've never looked at how they are wired or powered. I'm just giving generic and basic tips on how I've seen common robotics wired and powered. I'm glad to help as much as I can though.

@nomad, no one is making fun of you. No need to take offense and leave. The proof that you are talented is in the fact that you are able to 3d print like you do and make those clever designs and adjustments.

Nomad this is a popular meme it is essentially means you are waiting on the outcome. You eat popcorn in a movie. honestly there was no harm intended.   As you know I am building an inmoov as well and I need to,power mine. I was just saying I was watching this thread.

That’s nice of you to clarify @nink. @nomad it’s always frustrating learning something new but we all have your back. It’s a lot less complicated than you think once you do it the first time. Just don’t touch the live wires:)
