Description
I started using this modified version of jodolls terrific power supply holder a few months back after receiving an Ender 3 Pro carcass that arrived with a demolished PSU holder. I was adding a second Z axis lead screw to the machine and jodoll's model seemed like a great solution.
I moved the bottom mounting holes 16mm to the left for better securing this part to shorter frames like that of my Sunlu Terminator T3, and added a hole in the outside front left corner to run wiring out for relocating the power switch to the front of the machine.
I've printed this part on three different machines, for three different machines using organic supports to build plate only. They all printed nicely and the supports were easily removed.
UPDATE 05142024: I've added some new files. Firstly, a Version 3 that adds a few more mounting holes for attaching it more securely atop a 20x40mm or 40x40mm extrusion, another opening in the rear on the backside to better accommodate some wiring when using this on an Anet A8 Plus, and a hole for accessing the voltage adjustment potentiometer, large enough for either the Meanwell LRS-350 PSU or the knockoff NVVV LRS-350 PSU. The second file is simply a cover that fits in place of the on/off switch for the PSU. I've relocated the power switches on nearly all of my machines to the front, so having that little switch on the power supply was superfluous. So far these slim 24v power supplies have been pretty good as replacements for some of the larger more clunky supplies, and as an inexpensive means for upgrading my 12v machines to 24v. I will say however that the knock-off NVVV supply I just bought from Amazon for my Anet did arrive DOA, so quality control is not so much of a thing with these knock-off companies. The NVVV's I've installed on other machines have been running solid and stable, but I think for a difference of only $5, best to stick with the genuine Meanwell PSU's. The fans on both the genuine and knock-off LRS-350's are 12v and thermostatically controlled, so either can be upgraded to a 12v Noctua fan without a buck convertor if you're so inclined… I'll post a photo of this model on the Anet A8 Plus as soon as I receive my replacement PSU.
UPDATE 09012024: I added “Power_Supply_Holder_V3_Fat.stl”, which has all the changes I made to jodoll's power supply holder, but works with the “non-slim” 24v PSU's shipping with the base Ender 3 “non-pro” versions, remixed from the PSU holder contained in kevinakasam's Belt drive Z axis design. I'm including that file here for those who may want to relocate the power switch to the front of the printer, for those who desire an additional DC wiring exit, and for those who simply want additional mounting hole options for attaching the PSU holder to a printers frame.
