Lack PowerSupply Mount

thingiverse

I designed a custom enclosure for my printer using an Ikea LACK shelf. I needed to mount a high-capacity power supply underneath it, so I gathered these essential components to make it happen. To create the necessary openings, I used a hole saw to drill two 1.5-inch holes through the lower table of the shelf, placing one at the front and the other at the back. Next, I secured the power supply in a way that allows hot air to escape upwards through the front hole while keeping the power cables organized by routing them up through the rear hole. In addition to housing the power supply, I also used the power cable hole as a passage for a USB cable, which provides connectivity to my printer. Moreover, I have a Raspberry Pi mounted on the underside of the shelf, adding an extra layer of functionality to the setup. The exhaust grill is positioned to direct airflow towards the side wall, and I chose this configuration to introduce warmth into the enclosure, which is beneficial for printing with ABS plastic. To ensure that temperatures remain safe, I installed a temperature controller connected to an exhaust fan, preventing overheating within the enclosure. Interestingly, the power supply does not generate significant heat, making it a relatively low-impact component in terms of thermal management. If you're planning to replicate this setup, be sure to acquire four power supply mounts and one each of the remaining two components.
