Here are some options for adding mains power switches to your Bukobot. **As always when dealing with mains voltages, safety is paramount.** If you don't know what are you doing then best wait until instructions are finalized and reviewed. ===== Illuminated power switch, IEC plug and fuse. ===== [Work in progress] You can buy an integrated illuminated switch, IEC socket and fuse module here: http://www.amazon.com/Inlet-Power-Socket-Switch-IEC320/dp/B00511QVVK/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1349228924&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=Inlet+Male+Power+Socket+with+Fuse+Switch+10A+250V+3+Pin+IEC320+C14 [There are also plenty of vendors selling them on Ebay if you are not in the US.] You will need to buy a 25mmx5mm mains fuse for this module as well. The fuse should ideally be Slow Blow and at least 2-3x times the current rating of the supply in order to handle start up surge currents (Current = Watts / Mains Voltage). E.g., for 350W power supply at 240V it only has a max load current of 1.5A but you would want at least a 4 or 5 amp fuse. You can find the power supply cover design files here to fit it on the power supply: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31659 [Kudos to NewtonRob for this idea.] [insert pic here for wiring of switch] ===== Other ideas ===== * Here is another IEC socket and power switch solution which doesn't use an integrated module. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:30011 * And another fully enclosed power supply cover design and power socket (but no switch): http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:30072 ===== Other comments ===== * If you are not using an IEC socket or similar, then it is highly recommended that all connections to external mains cables have some form of cable strain relief so that the connection doesn't weaken with movement of the cable or the connection won't be strained/pulled out if someone trips over the cable. [Strain relief could be as simple as using a cable-tie through the grille holes of the power supply to anchor the mains cable.]
