My printer Prusa I3 (M-505) have just a terminal block : this is really not practical to switch on/off.
But browsing the Chinese sites, I came across this item(http://www.dx.com/fr/p/electrical-power-control-on-off-rocker-switches-with-indicator-light-fuse-base-139918#.VoeVGhXhCUk​)
Note That item contains a fuse holder but not supplied fuse.
I recommend a fuse of 0.8 or 1 Ampere (180W power supply): A link to an assortment to 3E: http://www.dx.com/fr/p/bonatech-5-x-20mm-250v-glass-tube-fuse-pack-silver-transparent-50-pcs-0-5a-20a-303571#.VofN9xXhCUk.
You will need:

A classic cable cord (PC type)


2 items described above (DX, Ali, BG ...)


some 0.75 mm² wire (took on the original cord)


The cover printed in 3D

Required DIY (soldering iron, pliers, screwdrivers ...)
As can be seen, I expected a "tongue" in my object to put the screws, but on my printer model, I could use the original screws.
For the front screws: screwdriver by the switch hole
For the other screw : litle hole on the right side for the screwdriver.
Use a multimeter and check my photos for electric wire (need skills) .
