Ender-5 Power Supply Relocate - Digitalhigh Mod

thingiverse

Hello, and thanks for checking out my first-ever upload to Thingiverse! I just got an Ender-5, and like many others, noticed the lack of freedom in the length of the power cables. I didn't want to mount the PSU to the back of the model like other mods, as that would potentially cause instability and require supports for the frame, so instead opted to create a clip system that lets me slide it back a few inches, which solve all of my problems. The bottom clips are designed to be just a few mm shorter than the feet of the printer when fully compressed, but still provide support if weight is placed on the unit for some reason. The tabs are deliberately *very* hard to get in, to the point where they may require a bit of sanding to get in, depending on the tolerances of your printer. They also feature an optional screw hole to provide additional support - I don't know the size of the screw as it was just something "I had" from the extra parts after installing an EZRStruder, but with a small amount of drilling, you should be able to adjust them to your needs. Once the screw is inserted, it should be incredibly hard to get the tabs out. The tops are a bit more forgiving, but still designed to provide enough support so that you can turn your machine on it's side without any worry of anything coming out. So, hopefully, you enjoy my first upload. I've been very busy these past few weeks kitting out my printer, and some of the parts I've come up with along the way I think are very cool. I'll be uploading the rest of them as I get them perfected, and I think anybody with an Ender-5 and Octoprint is going to want to pay attention. ;)
