Anet_A8 Electronics Enclosure

thingiverse

There are a lot of folks with this machine using this combination switch, female power jack, fuse holder unit for this printer. That part has a number of reviews from people claiming it's a fire hazard, for me any uncertainty is unacceptable in something I want to leave running when I'm out of the house. I designed this around a simpler part that I have more trust in. I will link it below. The enclosure is intentionally open for drilling holes to install panel mount switches or anything else you may want add. There is a hole in the base for a long screw, the side holes pick up on existing holes in the power supply, you can use the leftover screws that came with the machine to attach the enclosure. The bottom hole is for a long screw that you would need to drill into the frame to mount. I felt as though this gave more stability when you're using the plug although it isn't strictly necessary. plugs used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2T2N1W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Matching Cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005113L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
