Power supply mounting base

I wanted to organize my workspace so that those power supplies wouldn't be hanging loose everywhere. I also didn't want to leave the power supplies drawing phantom power when they weren't in use, so I installed a power switch to control both supplies. The power switch and receptacle came from a dead computer power supply. Many power supplies have similar dimensions. I mounted the power switch on the front side of the printer for easy access. To get rid of the original power cord to the UM power brick, I cut it because I didn't have any spare plugs. I used my previous hinged bracket design to put the power supplies under the printer: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/4-way-hinged-baseplate. My heater relay also gave out, so I replaced it with a FET as recommended by JonnyBischof here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker-heated-bed-mosfet-relay-hack-v2. The relay board is mounted on the side wall of the printer using a special non-rotating standoff set (SCAD and STL included here).
