Tevo Tarantula Power Supply Mount

thingiverse

I built this as part of a major overhaul of my Tevo Tarantula. It's still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share this iteration for anyone who might be able to use it. This mount is designed to allow the power supply to stand vertically with its terminals safely covered. This takes up less space around the printer. There's a provision for a power switch/IEC connector (https://www.amazon.com/Inlet-Module-Switch-Socket-IEC320/dp/B00F4MFMXE). The bottom has holes for mounting it to your base, and there are also holes on one side for attaching to the vertical extrusion of the gantry. There are two 8mm holes for wiring to exit through, as well as a provision for a 4mm bolt to be used as a strain relief. UPDATE 2018-11-30: Just in time for the holidays! I've added a vented base for your cooling pleasure. This should help anyone who may have trouble getting air flow to their power supply. (Thanks, styo!) I've separated the top bracket from its tab (PS Top Bracket B and PS Top Bracket B Tab). You can now print them separately and glue or screw them together. This makes anchoring much stronger and the part easier to print. Let me know what other changes you'd like to see! UPDATE 2017-09-03: I've updated the base so that it stands away from the 2020 by 5mm. This was necessary to allow the Z wheels to pass when going up or down. I've also added the top bracket, which helps secure the PS and prevents it from falling out. It also makes the gantry more stable - a win-win!
