Description
This is a 3D-printable DIY power strip enclosure, designed specifically for EDK AC-G10 power sockets — the type commonly used with AC 3-prong power cords, such as for desktop computers.
Whether you’re just getting started with electronics or already own a 3D printer and want a useful project — this one’s for you!
I created this design for:
• People with no electrical background but want to learn and build safely
• 3D printing enthusiasts looking for a useful, quick print project
• Anyone interested in custom power strip builds
🖨️ Designed for FDM 3D printing using PETG for strength and durability
⏱️ Total print time (top + bottom): ~3 hours
🛠️ Tested and improved over 3 days through several prototypes
🎁 STL file is free to download and modify
You’re welcome to use this in your own projects, remix, or improve it.
Credit is appreciated if you share your remix 🙏

💬 Background
I created this to share knowledge and encourage new makers to use their 3D printers in practical ways.
The goal:
✅ Easy to print
✅ Easy to assemble
✅ Strong enough for real-world use
✅ Fun & educational
This project took 3 days of prototyping to tune the dimensions, print speed, and usability. Now it’s ready to use — and share!
