10A PS upgrade for MPMD

thingiverse

I made this in order to utilize a 10A PS with my MPMD. I wanted something that would integrate with the compactness of the machine and would allow me to include a mains power switch as well as a couple of extra switches for 12v accessories such as LED lighting. It includes a top and bottom for the PS which holds the switches. These parts are pretty tight fits for the switches so I also made backings for the pieces to make sure that the electrical would not be exposed or against the metal column. I also added a clip holder that snaps into the aluminum frame extrusions so the PS is actually attached to the printer without having to drill holes. This also helps to hold the backing plates in place since I didn't design them to actually fasten together. They are press fit only. I suppose you could glue them in place if you wanted. To put this together you need the same sized PS, a mains switch and 2 push button 12V switches. I also added a 90 degree plug so I was not altering the way the power was being delivered to the machine. You will need the following items: 1 - AC 110V - 220V To DC 12V 10A (47mm x 34mm x 187mm) 1 - 10A 250V Inlet Module Plug Rocker Switch Male Power Socket 3 Pin IEC320 C14 switch + Fuse 2 - 19mm 12V (LED) Latching Push Button Switch 1 - male 5.5x2.5 mm Connector Cable Plug Jack Adapter (DC Pigtail Male 90 Degree Wire 5.5x2.5mm) I added 2 switched lines for aux lighting but you can add whatever you want for your own purposes. I didn't want to wire directly to the board so I used the 90 degree pigtail to take the main power to the standard PS jack. This way I can remove the PS and use another if I wanted. I could have wired an addition switch for this as well but decided that I would use the main power switch for actually turning the printer on and off. I considered adding a power connector for my Raspberry PI but decided I didn't want both to be on the same power source. I can always add that in later if I want it. Note: I designed and built this close to a year ago and am putting it up because of a request. I believe the STLs are all the correct ones but I am not positive. If you notice something wrong with them let me know and I will try and remedy any issues.
