Anet A8 Upgrade Power Supply Cover w/switch mount

thingiverse

So I decided to upgrade my stock power supply because it gets a little too warm during long prints. I purchased this one on amazon and it was bigger but it had active cooling. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7CWSCG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There was really no way to mount it so I decided to make a cover for it. It's made so I could used a fused switch and a detachable power cord. To mount the switch, fit it in, and drill out the two holes and mount it with two m3 screws with nuts on the back, and wire accordingly. To mount it to the frame, loosed the nut holding the y axis rail and put the cover with the supply between the frames as shown in the pictures. Tighten the nut back and drill holes in the attached left mounting bar and acrylic frame and use whatever screws you want. (One screw was enough to hold it in for me) Be sure to only use supports attached to the build plate as to not cover up the switch hole. Use 15% infill or 20%. Speed really doesn't matter but I printed mine up to 50 or 60 mm/s and I think it took about 9 hours on 15% infill. _______________________________________________________________________ Good luck and let me know any problems or potential upgrades! I will be modifying it over time! If your feeling generous, a little support is always appreciated!
