ENDER 3 Power Supply Relocation Bracket

thingiverse

I am reconfiguring the machine by installing a second Z-Axis Lead Screw and motor, which necessitates relocating the power supply to prevent it from becoming loose on the workbench. This adapter enables the power supply to be detached from the right vertical column of the machine and shifted far enough to accommodate the second Z-Stepper motor and leadscrew. The adapter slots into the bottom extrusion channels. It glides all the way to the back of the channel. Remove the two screws that secure the power supply switch/plug cover, align these two holes with the holes on the adapter. Install 2 - 4mm flat washers on each of the original long 4mm socket head screws that held the PS to the vertical column. Screw these bolts through the adapter, through the plug cover and into the original holes. Tighten the screws and you are complete. Ensure your bed clears the power cord, mine was close but manageable. The adapter must slide all the way to the rear of the channel. The final design, illustrated in red, is shorter than the black prototype shown in the first picture. I have included a STL file as well as a g-Code file. This was designed using TINKERCAD and sliced with CURA 3.6.0. It was printed on my modified ENDER 3. Use the G-Code file at your own discretion and risk.
