Anet A8 Mounting Bracket for HP Common Slot Power Supplies

thingiverse

I had an ATX power supply running my A8 until recently, but I finally traced bed-heating problems back to an overloaded ATX12V output that had started going bad. I replaced it with a powerful 750W HP server power supply equipped with a PCIe breakout board that previously powered a mining rig. Two of these brackets will secure any HP Common Slot server power supply firmly into the original mounting holes in the A8 frame. Insert M3x12 screws and nuts into the provided holes to snugly tighten the brackets around the power supply, but leave them loose for now. Next, attach the brackets to the frame using more M3x12 screws and nuts; use the holes designed specifically for the stock power supply. Remove the frame piece at the top right corner, slide the new power supply into place, and reinstall the frame piece. Tighten the two screws to keep the power supply from shifting around, then attach whatever adapter you're using and run power wiring to everything.
