Anet A3 Power input cover by 3D_prints_for_Michael

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The underside of the Printer has bare to the world high voltage connections on the input mains connector. This cover turns the unit from IP 0 to at least IP 1. Another cover is in progress to cover the other end of the high voltage cables into the PSU and is available separately
The 3mm screw hole needs drilling and taping or drawing modifying. This then secures the cover to the connector by the screw and a second 3mm screw and nut is used to hold the unit to the underside of the base. On my unit there is a hole that was available and I used it.
You may need to cut the cable tie holding the cables around that area, as on my unit the ones that needed covering were obstructed by other cables locked by the cable tie. The cover on my unit takes the cables coming through a hole in the corner and the high voltage wires etc. from the connector. These all exit through a flexible door that I consider meets the requirements for fingers in the IP (international Protection) requirements for fingers. And makes me feel better that my grandchildren will not be electrocuted by high voltage shock. UK 240v.
Please let me know if you have a better design, mine are clunky but effective.
