Power plug case for Ender '3 power connectors (and similar) and a 23x15mm power switch for Ikea PLATSA cabinet. Might fit Besta as well but not tested. <a href='https://ko-fi.com/T6T4DXTSD' target='_blank'><img height='36' style='border:0px;height:36px;' src='https://cdn.ko-fi.com/cdn/kofi4.png?v=3' border='0' alt='Buy Me a Coffee at ko-fi.com' /></a> ## Why Had to move my electronics away from the printer and needed a new case for the power plug. ## Design Details Has 4x 4.5mm holes for mounting inside the cabinet. Probably not all holes are needed for secure mounting. The mounting holes are made 4.3mm, intended for M4 screws. to mount power plug holder inside the cabinet. The back plate has 2x 15mm holes to route the cables through. The backplate is 2mm thick, so if you don't need one of these holes, it's possible to close it with a 2mm flat plate in the slicer. Back plate needs to be fixed with some screws. I used small wood screws, you can use a different kind of screw. The holes for the screws in the back plate are 3.6mm and in the case are 2.8mm so a regular M3 should fit fine. There's also a case that's mounted bit lower. Can be used in combination with [3mm MDF sheet holder (Thing 5347099)](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5347099). Otherwise, you can drill your own holes if needed. <b>The cabinet back has to be removed or be equipped with a hole. Otherwise, the power cord will not fit.</b> ## Print Instructions Use tree supports, only touching build plate. Print back plate flat on surface. Print power plug case in assembly position or upside-down (that way, it uses less support material). ### Materials Needed <ul> <li>4x 3mm wood screw, 8mm long (or similar) <li>2x M4x10 screw </ul> ## Assembly Instructions <ol> <li>Print. <li>Remove supports. <li>Fit power plug inside and fix with original screws. <li>Assemble cables and route them through <i>back plate</i> <li>Fix back plate with <i>4x 3mm wood screw</i>. <li>Fix into Platsa cabinet with <i>2x M4x10 screw</i>. </ol> <a href='https://ko-fi.com/T6T4DXTSD' target='_blank'><img height='36' style='border:0px;height:36px;' src='https://cdn.ko-fi.com/cdn/kofi4.png?v=3' border='0' alt='Buy Me a Coffee at ko-fi.com' /></a> (All product links are MakerBot affiliate links.
