Anet A8 comes standard with 20A (240watt) PSU. Upon the stock PSU dying, a 30A (360watt) PSU was purchased to replace: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7CWSCG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

30A PSU does not fit stock frame holes, so a mounting frame was created. Also, had to remix/redesign the switch cover. I took a preexisting cover design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2320216) and modeled it to fit the PSU above.

Additional Frame Components:

3 - M3 nuts - press fit into frame first

4 - M3x8mm SHCS - Mounts frame to PSU

3 - M3x16mm SHCS or Phillips screws Mounts Frame/PSU combo to Anet Frame

Additional Switch Cover Components:

2 - M4x8mm Screws to mount cover to side of PSU

1 - switch assembly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ME5YAPK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cover Rev 0 - Original design was from 20 watt PSU. Updated model to fit 30 watt PSU
