Power switch Anet A8 3d printer (NEWEST MODEL)

thingiverse

The power switch cover was designed for the latest Anet A8 printer model that I acquired in September 2016. The inspiration behind this design came from an existing power switch cover on Thingiverse, which unfortunately was tailored for an older version of the printer. Since I couldn't modify the original design to fit my needs, I decided to start from scratch and create a new one. Important considerations: 1. A screw hole 3 mm in diameter is located on the right side of your power supply unit. The cover utilizes this existing feature. 2. To ensure secure attachment, I added an additional screw support on the left side. You will need to drill a 3.5mm hole into the printer's side, as I had to use an oven-headed nail to create the necessary opening in my acrylic glass. This design is optimized for printing without any support material. Update: On January 24th, 2016, I enlarged the cover by 5 mm to accommodate a power socket with two screws. By January 30th, 2016, I had printed and installed my latest model, which looks fantastic. The switch plug used in this design can be found on eBay.
