Watt Meter Volt Meter Power Meter Mount Anet A8 z motor panel

thingiverse

One of the 3 orignal ideas for creating tha panels was to mount a power consumtion meter or watt meter into one of these panels making it functional as well as nice to look at its the same design as my others but this one is 100mm instead of 80mm to allow for the size of the panel it has a pre cut 85.1mm x 45.1 mm hole for the wattmeter. Download includes left and right version as as the extra 20mm allowance is off center to allow clearance. Right side fitment uses less wire but increases footplate of printer by 20mm Left side fitment requires approx 1.5-2m of cable but is within original footplate / overhang of other components Link for meter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-80-260V-LCD-Digital-20A-Volt-Watt-Power-Meter-Ammeter-Voltmeter/172821453719?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 The watt meter itself goes inline onto the mains power before it hits the PSU, i did this by taking the earth pin on the rocker switch plate direct to the PSU and running 2 mains wires (2 core as thats the the wattmeter has connections for) 1 to go fro mthe power switch palte to the wattmeter and 1 to go back round to the PSU, its a simple power in - load out wiring and the 2 out wires then jump to the PSU you will need 2 x 14-16mm M3 screws as the original 12mms are not long enough
