Ender 3 Pro PSU Plug Mod

thingiverse

DISCLAIMER: Since the main power wires are exposed by relocating the power plug, you should add mains rates insulation around the cables. This design relocates the PSU plug to the back of the Ender 3 Pro. The design is intended to minimize the footprint of the printer overall. With the plug in the rear of the printer, the rigid end section of the power cable extends only to the rear limit of the bed on the y-axis. So, no additional space is needed in the rear of the printer. I plan to relocate my display to the top of the printer, so with the power cable moved to the back, I will ultimately reduce the base footprint by ~2.5in, horizontally (~1.5 at the height of the x-axis belt). The included .GCODE was used to print this device in eSun PLA+. Everything about this will be a *tight* fit, which is intentional. I did not want there to be any "play" when plugging/unplugging the power cable. However, no additional modification is required. You will just need to use some force when fitting the outlet into the enclosure. The screws from the original PSU outlet are used to secure the outlet to its new enclosure, but the tolerances are designed such that the screws aren't absolutely necessary, due to the tight fit.
