Description
The Hictop Prusa I3 3D Printer kit is not supplied with a main power on/off switch. This switch box controls power and removes the intended hard-wired power cord to allow a removable power cord to be used instead. You can see the wiring in one of the photos. The red wire goes to/from the switch. Push on wire connectors are soldered on the ends of the wires to the switch box and lugs are soldered to the ends that connect to the power supply. The lugs are insulated with heat shrink tubing. The box is attached at the location shown with two M4 machine screws on the side of the power supply and hooked on the bottom edge of the power supply.
The power connector used is an Uxcell AC 250V 10A IEC 320 C14 Panel Mount Socket.
