AM8 Power Switch Box 2040 customizable

thingiverse

This is a Power Switch Enclosure (Box) for the AM8 or all other Printers with 2040 Extrusions. You can use the Box only or, if you want, with a Backplate. It has a opening for your cables. This opening fits perfect to the nut of the 2040 Extrusions. So you can put your cables along the Extrusion. This Box fits with switches which comes with a fuse. A switch with width and height of 46mmx27mm press fits. Even if the Switch is a little bigger. I designed m3 threads into the holes for the backplate. But i will be honest, i dont think you can print it that this threads works. Update: Uploaded a Version without holes in the back if you do not use the backplate. Also uploaded the .f3d files, so you can edit the Box to suit your switch. Simply use the Push/Pull function of Fusion360 to adjust the inner walls. Update #2: As shown in the third picture, cut the marked little noses on both sides. If not, you won´t be able to plug in your powercable. A little mistake i made when i designed it. You can plug it in and then snap the switch in its case but keep in mind that you than won´t be able to unplug your powercable :-) The switch fits neverthless perfect in the case. The two noses left are enough.
