SIMPZIA Mosfet Mount For ANET A8 Printer

thingiverse

I started with a Thing from user lord_alan. I loaded his original design file in OpenSCAD and adjusted it for the SIMPZIA Mosfet I bought online (got a 2 pack for a good price, with all the extra wires and crimps I'd need along with it). This is my first remix of a part, so if I missed some courtesy or committed some other fopaux please forgive me. I found one Thing that is a main board frame that is spaced for this module, but it was only half complete (no vent holes or cable openings). On a suggestion in the A8 group on FB, I modded this Thing to fit this module, and since the power and heat bed connections are on opposite sides, I flipped the mount so the module sits sideways under (or over I suppose if you wanted) to make wiring a bit easier/neater. UPDATE 1/1/2018: On a request I reworked the SCAD file to change from a landscape to portrait layout, and added that file. Also on request I modded both versions to add a mount for a second MOSFET board. I'm not sure how well it would fit with 2 on their honestly, and I didn't want to change the spacing between the controller and MOSFET's too much otherwise wires are going to get in the way of each other. If you want to use two MOSFET's on your machine, I suggest printing two single mount frames, and mount one below the control board in landscape orientation for the heat bed, and a the second on a separate frame in portrait orientation above the control board for the hot end. The wires from each item should reach a little better that way. Looking at the dual mount frame, it *should* fit, though it might be a little tight depending on how/where you ran the wires in your A8 build. Some of these are a bit rough. I'll only say I'm not a CAD guy, I haven't done any 3D modeling in about 20 years, so I just do what I can to muddle through.
