SIMPZIA Mosfet Mount For ANET A8 Printer

thingiverse

I started with Thing from user lord_alan, loading his original design file into OpenSCAD and adjusting it for the SIMPZIA Mosfet I bought online - a great deal at that price point, complete with extra wires and crimps included. This is my first remix of a part, so if I missed some courtesy or made another mistake, please forgive me. I found one Thing, a main board frame designed to fit this module, but it was incomplete - lacking vent holes and cable openings. Following a suggestion from the A8 group on Facebook, I modified this Thing to accommodate this module. Given that power and heat bed connections are on opposite sides, I flipped the mount so the module sits sideways under or over it, making wiring easier and neater. UPDATE 1/1/2018: At someone's request, I reworked the SCAD file to change from a landscape to portrait layout and added that file. Also on request, I modified both versions to include a mount for a second MOSFET board. Honestly, I'm unsure how well two boards would fit together, and I didn't want to alter the spacing between the controller and MOSFETs too much, or wires would be in the way of each other. If you plan to use two MOSFETs on your machine, I suggest printing two single mount frames: one below the control board in landscape orientation for the heat bed and another above the control board in portrait orientation for the hot end. The wires from each item should reach a bit better that way. The dual mount frame appears to fit, although it might be a tight squeeze depending on how you ran the wires in your A8 build. Some of these are a bit rough - I'm not a CAD expert and haven't done any 3D modeling in about twenty years.
