CR-6 power supply cover

You're choking my power supply Creality!!

The Creality CR-6 power supply is being choked by the dense mesh in the metal outer cover. This causes the power supply to turn on all the time - instead of only some of the time, like on the Anet ET4 Pro.

This design replaces the power supply compartment outer cover so the power supply fan is free to suck in fresh air. From time to time the power supply fan will still turn on, but it won't run 100% of the time anymore.

I didn't like all the other designs that potentially leave the 230V live contacts to the power supply uncovered. I don't want to electrocute myself anymore than what this printer does by default.

If you later decide to still replace the power supply fan, you can get a standard 60mm PC fan from any computer hardware store because the power supply fan needs 12V.

In the photo, the white stuff is 3dlac remains I didn't bother to clean up.

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.28

Infill:

-

Filament: Anet PLA Black

Notes:

You can use whatever material you want. Okay, maybe not TPU.

You can speed up the print pretty good. I used a 140mm base print speed in Cura. If you use a large nozzle (0.6mm) you could probably speed it up even more. For me the print time was 2 times 2 hours plus 30 minutes assembly because I also decided to use a spare 60mm fan for my power supply.

Post-Printing

Glue it using superglue on the seam. Let it dry. Mount it.
