PSU mount for IKEA Lack table for the new i3 MKS+

Dear all,

Im not sure if this is the right section of the forum for my request, but i dint't find a better one. Sorry for this!

I got my new Prusa I3 MKS+ and now i started already printing the parts for a IKEA Lack enclosure. In all the various files and sets i found, i didn't find an Mount for the PSU which seams to be a new model from Prusa, which i want to mount external on the lack table.

Is anyone having links to some PSU mount model (Stl files) for the Prusa I3MKS+ PSU?

Many thanks in advance.

Werner

I don’t think it changed for the MK3S+. In fact, I am printing one right now. Hopefully I’ll start assembling my Lack enclosure later today. I’ll provide an update once I remount my PSU.

As far as I can tell the MK3s+ uses the same black PSU as the later MK3s units.

A quick search on PrusaPrinters shows different options. Have a look there for a mount of the black PSU.

If your coming from an older MK3 you may notice a difference. However Its supposed to be the same PSU as the MK3S.

I didn't finish the build of my lack enclosure today, but I did print the new PSU holder.  I measured it and it appears to be 4 mm too narrow to accommodate the PSU.  I'm going to start looking for alternative designs on this site and Thingiverse.

Would be nice if yours fit, that you share the STL File with me. 

Many thanks in advance

Here's another one that is similar to the original design.

After printing out a few options for mounting the black PSU, I found the design I like the best on the page for the Printer Enclosure V2.  Scroll down to the sections titled "Placing the power supply" and "Black PSU".  The pictures showing how this mount works are below the "Black PSU" section.

This is the simplest and cleanest design I've seen so far.  I'm going to print out the bracket and wire pass-through tonight and hopefully complete my move over the the Lack enclosure.

@egar

That mount only works if you are using single printers per tower of tables.  Multiple printers stacked do not work well with this mount.
