Need your advice for silver PSU mount
🕑 Added 2019-08-27 17:15:16 +0000 UTC
Dear Patrons,
I am working on the PSU mounts and I thought about moving the silver PSU more on the back and use an M3 t-nuts directly on the v-slot (green arrow on the picture). This would apply to silver PSU only. The PSU will move back by 5-6mm only.
Advantages
- Simpler, no more part to print and assemble.
- Wires will be closer to the back of the v-slot (by 5-6mm) which will help a little for wiring.
- PSU a bit far away from the heated bed so less heat transmitted to it.
Disadvantage
- Potential miss-alignment issue.
- PSU plug is going to be a little bit more on the back, not sure if it can be an issue with enclosure.
- Screws will be slightly different between MK2S and MK3 but not a big deal.

I find this a good Idea. But it's not very important in my Eyes. If i would build a new Bear i would prefer this. But i will not upgrade my existing one^^

I agree but you could provide the Bear 2.0 PSU mount with your design.

As far as moving the mount point back goes, I say go for it - I like the idea of mounting directly to the V-slot frame and reducing the number of printed parts. The biggest downside I see is that it may require changes to some of the available user-created mounts (including my own) for alternate power supplies (LRS-350, etc.) that use a single connection to the printed lower mount.
