Anet A6 Power Supply Cover and Switch

thingiverse

This cover and bracket is designed specifically for a Newstyle 360W power supply or similar models. I upgraded to a more powerful power supply to significantly reduce bed and nozzle warm-up times, and this setup meets my needs perfectly. The bracket converts from the original screw layout to the new screw layout, making installation easier. To install the bracket, you'll need to place four M3 washers in the old screw locations and secure them with a small piece of tape to prevent loss. Next, attach the Power Supply bracket to the new power supply using 4 x M4(5MM) screws, then secure the power supply to the printer with 3 x M3(10MM) screws. The unused remaining screw/nut can be used in the future for mounting additional components. The power supply cover is secured using 2 x M3(short screws) on the right side and a countersinking/fluted M3(short screw) on the left side. I secured the power switch with 2 x M4 (5MM) screws and nuts, and the hole in the front of the cover allows for easy adjustment of the power potentiometer. For all Anet A6/A8 printers, a power supply cover is essential for child and pet safety. If you don't already have one, consider purchasing it immediately. There are various covers available on Thingiverse specifically designed for the original Anet A6 power supply. Note: The pictures shown above are from my previous version of the power supply cover before I integrated the power supply bracket. The STL file provided is for the new power supply cover, taking into account the power supply bracket. I haven't tested it for fit, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated to make necessary adjustments. Perhaps one day, I'll print a new cover for myself.
