Alternate D-Bot Power Supply Mount and Endcap

prusaprinters

<p>For a few reasons, I wanted to move my power supply to a side rail on my D-Bot printer, and I feel its pretty unsafe to have a power supply with exposed mains terminals, especially on a metal-frame printer.</p> <p>These parts do two things, which can obviously be used together or separately. First, this is a set of mounting clips that work the same as the "stock" power supply mounts on the D-Bot, but raise the power supply an additional 13mm, which allows it to be mounted above the brackets screwed to the side rail.</p> <p>Secondly, this includes an end-cap that mounts to the stock power supply, with a mounting hole for the stock switch. This has the safety benefit of keeping all the high-voltage inside the enclosure, where its less likely to be accidentally touched.</p> <p>Two versions of the end cap are uploaded here. The first is just that -- the endcap for the switch. The second has an additional opening that can be used with the uploaded spacer ring to add a 12v dual USB port running off the power supply. (Using this part: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HPSY4RY) This reduces the need for additional USB wall warts if you're running OctoPi or USB powered web cameras, etc.</p> <p>You'll need some short M4 screws to attach the endcap, and the side brackets need 38mm M4 screws.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Prusa Mk2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>30%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I printed these with PETG. I'd recommend using PETG or ABS, as I don't know how hot the power supply might get, but I suppose PLA would be fine if you keep an eye on it.</p> <p>You should probably rotate the endcap to print it opening-up, to minimize the need for supports. The bottom texture is there to reduce adhesion of the PETG and make it possible to remove from a print bed.
