Anet_A8 Electronics Enclosure

thingiverse

There are a lot of individuals using this machine with the combination switch, female power jack, and fuse holder unit for this printer. Many people have left reviews claiming it's a fire hazard, but I personally find any uncertainty unacceptable when it comes to leaving something running while I'm away from home. To resolve my concerns, I've designed this enclosure around a simpler part that I trust more. For those interested, I'll link the alternative below. The enclosure is intentionally open for drilling holes to install panel mount switches or other features you may want to add. There's a hole in the base for a long screw, and the side holes align with existing holes in the power supply. You can use leftover screws from the machine to attach the enclosure. The bottom hole is designed for a long screw that needs to be drilled into the frame for mounting. I added this feature because it provides more stability when using the plug, although it's not strictly necessary.
