Ender 3 Power Supply Cable Clamp

thingiverse

This is a cable clamp to clamp a cable to the back of the power supply on an Ender 3 printer. There are two M screws on the back of the printer's power supply. The part has two holes for these to go through and they are counter sunk so the part can be at 5mm thick while the added length the screw protrudes though the piece is only 3mm. It is a basic cable clamp. The point behind this project was that I want to mount some custom LED light bars on my printer. I have seen many people use a buck converter to step down the voltage coming from the power supply to 12v from 24v so that they can wire LED lights directly to their power supply. I did not want to do this however because most of the time when i need the light it is because I am leveling the bed and I do this with the printer off so i can move the hot end around. Turning the printer off would turn my lights off. Also, cleaning the bed, installing components, etc, I want light but I don't want the printer on. This part simply allows me to run a LED light power cable down the back of the right support rail and clamp it to the back of the machine so it doesn't move around. IE cable management.
