Electric Meter Enclosure
Print Profile(1)

Description
I made this enclosure to monitor my 3D printer's power consumption. It's a simple design, and there's plenty of room for improvement. I was short on time, so I didn't refine the model further, but it's functional. The back cover uses magnets for attachment, as I had some magnets on hand. For better security, it could be modified to use screws. The back cover lacks wire routing holes because I was using salvaged wires, and I didn't know the wire gauge. If you're using this, remember to create holes according to your wire size. You can do this directly in your slicer software or drill holes in the printed part. I think it would look better in black, but I didn't have any black filament left, so I used gray.
You can find a suitable electric meter by searching for keywords like: AC Voltage Current Power Meter Frequency Counter Electricity Detection Instrument High Precision Digital Power Meter 220V 100A.
You will also need four-core wire with a cross-sectional area of 1 square millimeter or more.
The magnets I used were N52-2x2 cylindrical magnets (I suggest omitting these, as they weren't ideal. You can simply use adhesive or add holes to the back cover and use M2 screws).
