Resin printer heater

<p>This is a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4785435">ANYCUBIC MONO X HEATER by JVJV - Thingiverse</a><br/><br/>I found that there was a need for more room inside for cable management, so I have extended the compartment for the thermostat. <br/><br/>Text below is copied from the original Thingiverse post:<br/><br/><strong>Heating with thermostat for </strong>Anycubic<strong> Mono X</strong></p><p><i>This project was strongly inspired by the x3msnake model. His 3D model for </i>Photon<i> S is probably better designed than mine, don't hesitate to check out his project!</i><br/>Link to the x3msnake model : <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3442165">link</a>.<br/>And his Youtube video : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7XkPHlw0_M&amp;feature=emb_title">link</a><br/>PS : here is a video using his model : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDvxt1F6J8Q">link</a></p><p>Since I don't have a metal case like on the Photon S (and not having the same thermostat), I wanted to recreate a 3D model. Here, the thermostat screen is oriented upwards for easier reading because the heater is placed on the base of the printer (using a magnet, the threaded holes of the base of the mono X are magnetized).</p><p><strong>WARNING</strong></p><ul><li>Don't print these files in <strong>PLA</strong>, I didn't try with ABS, but it should work, the resin is much more appropriate for this kind of application. The heating module has a power of 100W and could deform the PLA.</li><li>Use cables of the right section to power the heating element. Operating at 12V, the current can reach 8.5A.</li></ul><p>To determine the right section of cable to use, here is a table: <a href="https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/wire-gauges-d_419.html">link</a><br/>Materials required :</p><ul><li>Thermostat 12V 10A W3230 <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07RHDS2RN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">link</a> or <a href="https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4001360907120.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.2272582c3W42Ct&amp;spm=a2g0o.store_home.singleImageText_6000393123168.0">link</a></li><li>Power supply 12V 10A or higher <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08DCW22ZN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">link</a> or <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9xIdk4">link</a></li><li>DC099 5.5x2.1mm jack connector supporting 10A <a href="https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ABGCYg">link</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B076MPR75F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">link</a></li><li>Heating element 12V 100W + Fan <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07DM4TD5W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">link</a></li><li>Neodymium magnets 20x3mm (2 magnets needed) <a href="https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01L16EM6O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">link</a> or <a href="https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005001465521537.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.a8db37b6HEKlza&amp;algo_pvid=c3626368-037a-495d-a548-3b8e395bfe7d&amp;algo_expid=c3626368-037a-495d-a548-3b8e395bfe7d-0&amp;btsid=2100bddf16134980571572572e6936&amp;ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_">link</a></li><li>Wire of the right section (I used 18AWG 16 cores cable, supposed to be able to support 5A, so I doubled it to 10A and everything is ok, no abnormal heating).
