Anet_A8_Volt_Meter_Enclosure_V1

thingiverse

I designed this enclosure around a multimeter I purchased on Amazon from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JOUZELG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, but it appears to be widely available at standard outlets. The meter comes with a 100A 75mV shunt for the current meter, but I opted for a 50A 75mV shunt from http://www.ebay.com/itm/371731001057?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT instead. The 100A shunt was too large for my needs, so I modified the meter settings to switch from 100 to 50A shunt. To accommodate the new shunt, I drilled two holes into the enclosure after printing it in place. CAUTION: When handling the shunt, be aware that the screws holding it in place are directly attached to the shunt blocks and form part of the 12VDC circuit feeding the printer. This means the screw heads are live with 12VDC voltage. To mitigate this risk, consider printing a cover or using non-conductive screws to prevent accidental electrical contact.
