ANET A8 Power Supply Cover with ISOLATED IEC Socket

thingiverse

Browsing for other PSU Covers, none of them had a separate compartment for the IEC socket. The socket that was accessible exposes the mains voltage on its back. This power cover provides a dedicated housing for the IEC socket within itself. If a low-power cable ever becomes loose, it is much less likely to touch the mains and thus most likely kill your printer electronics. All major variables are editable in the OpenSCAD header section. Print Settings Printer: ANET A8 Prusa i3 DIY Kit Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 10% (in fact 100%, due to low wall thickness) Notes: Renkforce 1.75mm PLA used. Slic3r Extrude-Temperature: 210°C Bed-Temperature: 53°C Post-Printing Connecting Solder three flexible wires to the IEC socket, ensuring they are long enough for some maneuvering but not too long to avoid fitting problems. Pull wires through the hole in the inner socket-housing Snap the Socket into the front Connect wires to PSU (optional) Connect a LedStrip like this one After Soldering apply some heat shrink on the mains-terminals Pull wires through hole in socket-housing Connect to PSU and optionally wire any Led-Strip Mounting Screw Cover in place on the left using a short M3 screw. Use a zip-tie for the right-hand side (my PSU has no screwing option here) And screw right (Note: My screw is too long, that's why I used a nut) Use Ziptie Left Modifying As requested by @mcorl in the comments, here is a quick guide on how to make the walls thicker. Hint: I printed the object onto painter tape and removed the tape together with the object to avoid rupture. If you still want to have tougher walls, simply increase the "Wall" variable to 2 (line 18) or even bigger if desired. You can also make the front (line 19) thicker but be aware that this might interfere with your socket/switch-combo. After changing the values, update the preview (F5), and if satisfied, render the object (F6) and export it with the STL-button.
