ABI 24V 500W Power Supply Terminal Cover Plate
Description
Summary ======= I Purchased This Power Supply: Abi 24V 500W Power Supply Indoor Outdoor Led Driver Rainproof Weatherproof 21A Https://Www.Amazon.Com/Abi-Supply-Outdoor-Rainproof-Weatherproof/Dp/B01Iu8Qbco/Ref=Lp_17579358011_1_16?Srs=17579358011&Ie=Utf8&Qid=1531079981&Sr=8-16 I Wanted A Terminal Cover With A Power Plug, On/Off Switch, And 3 Xt60 Connectors. I Didn'T Find One On Thingiverse For This Psu, So I Designed One In Fusion 360. I Used This Socket: Hongyetaja Inlet Male Power Socket With Fuse Switch 10A 250V 3 Pin Iec320 C14 Https://Www.Amazon.Com/Gp/Product/B01Lymnq2L/Ref=Oh_Aui_Search_Detailpage?Ie=Utf8&Psc=1 Fusion File Is Below.

Https://A360.Co/2M0Sddr Printing ====== * Prusa I3 Mk3. * Amz3D Pla - Neon-Yellow. * 0.3Mm Layer Height. * Three Top And Bottom Layers. * Three Perimeter Lines. * No Supports. * 25% Infill. * 210C Nozzle And 60C Bed. Assembly ======== I Used 16 Gauge Wire On The Xt60 Connectors, Since They Could Carry Up To 24 Amps Of Current. I Soldered The Wires On To The Sockets, And Added Heat-Shrink, Before Gluing Them To The Cover. The Photos Show 24 Gauge Wire On The 120V Side Of The Socket. I Should Have Used A Thicker Wire, Like 18 Or 16. I Used Gorilla Glue To Set The Xt60 Connectors And The Socket To The Pla. I Tried Super Glue, But It Just Broke After A Few Insertions/Removals. The Gorilla Glue Is An Expanding Glue, So Only Use A Little. I Used A Hobby Knife To Scrape The Excess Glue, Before It Fully Hardened. On The Power Supply, Remove The 4 Screws That Hold The Metal Plate Over The Terminal Strip. Remove The Plate. Put The Cover Over The End Of The Supply, And Use The Same 4 Screws To Attach Them Together. Improvements =========== * I Should Have Used Thicker Gauge Wire On The 120V Side. 18 Or 16 Awg Wire Would Be Better. Those Short Lengths Of Wire Should Be Able To Handle 4 Amps, But The Electronic Technician In Me Says "Better Safe Than Smoked". * Perhaps The Socket Should Have Been Rotated 180 - Putting The Switch On The Outside, And The C14 Plug On The Inside. Credits ====== I Used Beefinator'S Cover Plate For Inspiration, And To Get The Dimensions Of The Xt60 Hole. Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:132022
