ANET A8 PSU COVER FOR MEANWELL NES-350-12, ETC

thingiverse

There are plenty of PSU covers for the Anet A8 available, but I recently upgraded to a Meanwell NES-350-12 power supply and needed a cover that would actually fit it. The new cover had to take advantage of available space for decently long wires to make assembly easier, have good ventilation, allow for wire routing/strain relief, be sturdy enough to mount a fused switch, not require any hardware besides the spare Anet A8 hardware, and work with the adapter bracket I used. I didn't find anything already on Thingiverse that met these requirements, so I designed my own. I've uploaded two versions: one with additional ventilation and another without. Feel free to remix or modify them as needed. This cover was designed to be used with this excellent adapter bracket - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2257331. The power supply I used is a Meanwell NES-350-12, which can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007K2H0GI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Due to its generous size and mounting flexibility, this cover can be used with many power supply upgrades for the Anet A8, such as various Meanwell 350-12 units, eTopxizu units, and others of similar form factor. The switch I used is a fused switch that can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME5YAPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The cover can be mounted in either direction, and the tolerances are generous for similar switches. The slots are large enough to run the connector/cable for the Z-axis motor through them and use zip-ties for cable strain relief if needed. I printed this at 100% fill and 100 mm/s print speed, which took around 5-6 hours. Your mileage may vary. Let me know if you have any further questions.
