I initially powered the printer from my 12V 30A supply that normally charges my LiPo batteries. I wanted to wait until the printer was producing decent quality prints before starting with a few printed upgrades. I also didn’t want to start using the cage 12V power supply without having an enclosure to contain the mains wiring. I found a suitable little fused IEC13 socket at Jaycar. I wanted to be able to disconnect the power cord for ease of transport. I’ve always found it to be a pain to loosely wrap a cord around an appliance when moving it around.

The overhang was pretty steep so I added some support walls. I then cut them away afterwards. The overhang finish was average but served its purpose. I was still dialling in the settings at this stage.
