Description

OK, look. I know there are a metric ton of Anet A8 PSU covers on Thingiverse. But it seems that Anet changes power supply vendors more often than they change their underwear.

I had a few criteria for a PSU cover. I required that it:

  1. Enclose the lower portion of the PSU, to keep fingers and tools away from the exposed AC power terminals.
  2. Accept a snap-in socket switch.
  3. Have places for a few extra switches.
  4. Fit the PSU.

I found some that I liked, but Item 4, above, is what killed them. I printed two that didn't fit before I got smart about it: I modeled the PSU itself in Tinkercad, with the intention of doing virtual test-fits of PSU covers I found here.

But then I figured heck, as long as I have the PSU modeled, I can make my own cover. So I did. And this is it. It fits my Late 2018 Anet A8 that I bought from Gearbest.

Will it fit your PSU? I have no way of knowing. But you're certainly welcome to give it a try! It's a (relatively) quick print at 0.3mm layer height.

[EDIT: A slightly wider version was requested. This has been added as "BV3D Anet A8 PSU Cover 112mm inside width.stl"]

I used this socket switch: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBVPRWK
And these rocker switches: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0743FQMHY

Oh, I've got a Here's a YouTube video about it, here.
