Anet A6 Power Cover with Outlet

thingiverse

****UPDATE 25May2019**** I made a crucial discovery about the uploaded relay carrier size. Please use the "Relay Carrier_Size Update" file instead. I have also added a cover for the relay carrier hole in case you don't have a relay board to use (use "Relay Cover 0.375"). ************************************ This power cover is designed specifically for the Anet A6, featuring a built-in power outlet at the back. Tired of plugging in my Raspberry Pi 3 running OctoPrint and Klipper into another outlet, I created this solution. The outlet box can accommodate any square outlet, but it's tailored to fit the one I'm using from Lowe's - a single-outlet, two-USB-outlet model. You can also use any 6-32 x 3/4 screws, which should work perfectly fine. The switch is the same upgrade used by Anet fans. The holes in the cover for the switch are designed to fit an M4 screw. It might take some effort to get it started, but once you do, everything should be good to go. I'm using a Velleman 4-relay board, which can be purchased from Amazon or any hobby shop. The relay board holder simply snaps into place, but you'll need four screws to secure the board to the holder - 6-32 x 3/8 screws fit perfectly.
