Pangu i3 power plug socket and mains wiring shield

thingiverse

I wanted an on/off switch on my Pangu i3 (Prusa i3 clone+), to save reaching down to the powerboard or powerpoint. Also nicer to have all exposed mains wiring covered up. And as a bonus, the power supply case is now earthed! This mounts mostly onto existing holes in the frame. I only had to drill 1 hole to mount this. The socket+switch+fuse combo is pretty standard, so easy and cheap to buy. This is still a work-in-progress. I will reprint when i get some more black filament. The next version will have a more sturdy front wall, possibly 1mm thicker, and definitely with some internal support fins. The socket still pops out if removing the power plug too fast. I could glue it in but that would affect maintainability. It might be more secure with a sheet metal front wall (earthed!) but I wanted an all-plastic part.
