AM8 30A Power Supply Mounts

thingiverse

I couldn't find a suitable mount for a 30A power supply that fit perfectly, but I stumbled upon Ultrafloon's model designed for an extended AM8, which only supports the lower part of the power supply. I decided to recreate his design while keeping its aesthetics since it flowed very nicely. Next, I modeled a top mount as well to increase stability for the power supply. This model is designed for Power Supplies with a width of approximately 113mm. CURRENTLY IN TESTING UPDATE 1/13/2020: The bottom mount has been printed and tested successfully. Everything fits great. I will be doing another iteration with slots instead of fixed holes to allow for mounting flexibility between power supply models. The Bottom mount will also be modified in the upcoming update to ensure proper slicing without having to recess the model 0.1mm into the build plate. KNOWN ISSUE: The bottom mount is not perfectly flat, which can cause slicing software to slice incorrectly. A known fix for now is to recess the model 0.1mm into the build plate for a smooth print until it has been updated. Although the model will still print fine, recessing it 0.1mm into the build plate will ensure perfect flatness for optimal adhesion. UPDATE: 1/9/2020 - Added Top Mount - Included renderings of all objects in the download - Updated the model for enhanced aesthetics The bottom mount is secured to the power supply using M3 bolts, and attached to the frame with two M5 Bolts and Hammer Nuts. The top mount slides over the top of the power supply and secures to the frame using two M5 Bolts and Hammer Nuts. The download includes the Fusion 360 File in case you want to make changes for your own application. The design is modeled to secure to the 2040 aluminum profile for the AM8 frame. I'm unsure if it can be used for other models. If you print this for another model and it works, please let me know so I can update the description to include that printer as well. If you print this, please let me know how you like it, and if there are any changes you would like to see in the future!
