This isn't quite a remix, but an 'accessory' of sorts. I wanted something safer than a mains cable directly attached to the DIN rail blocks for the lab so I designed this 'insert' for the DIN rail stand XL. It's a plate that fits into one of the triangle braces and holds this IEC power module:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KS2TQ45/
I can now remove the mains cable from my lab; the fuse and on/off switch are just a bonus!
There is a small flange that fits neatly against the 'inside' of the triangle brace. The flange helps with alignment when inserting the plate and makes it much easier to glue in. After printing, apply a few drops of super glue to the surface of the flange/lip and carefully slide the plate into the triangle brace. Wait for the glue to set and then install the IEC module.
You could use a bit more glue to install the IEC module but the design expects two M4*8mm screws. The screw holes in the plate are intentionally undersized slightly so the screw threads have plenty of plastic to 'bite' into. To make things much easier use a match/lighter to heat up a screw before driving it in. The hot screw will push the molten plastic out of the way forming precise threads.
maffucci didn't provide any source files so I had to import the STL file and go from there.. so the cad is messy :/. To save you the trouble, ive included a STEP file as well as the STL and 3mf files.
The part has no significant physical load on it so 15% infill is more than enough. I instructed my slicer to add a few extra perimeters around the screw holes so the screws would have plenty of plastic to melt threads into using 'modifier stl' files.
The attached 3mf file already has this done for you.
