IEC320 fuesed and switched Inlet Holder

thingiverse

Case for IEC320 C14 switched and fused Inlet. The inlet part is inserted and locked with four secure notches, providing an extremely tight fit that ensures it will be securely trapped within the case at all times. Removal of the inlet part can prove to be quite challenging due to its precise locking mechanism. A specially designed tunnel in the bottom allows for cable tie installation, enabling strain relief to prevent damage from excessive cord movement or tension. To ensure reliable insulation, a lid has been added to the case design. This is crucial when mounting the Case on conductive surfaces, including coated metal. However, if using wood as the mounting surface, the lid can be safely omitted. For users seeking to minimize the overall height of the Case, scaling down in the z-direction within their slicer settings should yield positive results. When employing countersink screws, conical washers are recommended for optimal performance and fit. A crucial warning must be noted: this part is specifically designed for power line connections. Users must exercise extreme caution when handling and assembling this component. If unsure about any aspect of the design or assembly process, it is highly recommended to consult an expert or seek guidance from a qualified individual. By using this design, users acknowledge that they are doing so at their own risk. This Part has been successfully integrated into my Prusa i3 Master Rework project. Print Settings: Printer: Sintron Prusa i3 Supports: No Resolution: 0.25mm Infill: 30% Notes: For those seeking to fine-tune the fit of this Case, scaling may not yield optimal results. Instead, users are advised to experiment with adjusting the extrusion rate or inform their slicer that a 0.5mm nozzle is being used, while maintaining a 0.4mm nozzle on the printer. Post-Printing: Solder the connections according to the provided images. It is essential to solder the wires directly into the holes of the pins rather than merely attaching them to the side. For added strain relief, users should employ shrink tubing and secure it with a cable tie, as depicted in the accompanying images.
