Heating with thermostat for Anycubic Mono X
This project was strongly inspired by the x3msnake model. His 3D model for Photon S is probably better designed than mine, don't hesitate to check out his project!
Link to the x3msnake model : link (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3442165).
And his Youtube video: link
PS : here is a video using his model : link
Since I don't have a metal case like on the Photon S (and not having the same thermostat), I wanted to recreate a 3D model. Here, the thermostat screen is oriented upwards for easier reading because the heater is placed on the base of the printer (using a magnet, the threaded holes of the base of the mono X are magnetized).
WARNING
Don't print these files in PLA, I didn't try with ABS, but it should work, the resin is much more appropriate for this kind of application. The heating module has a power of 100W and could deform the PLA.
Use cables of the right section to power the heating element. Operating at 12V, the current can reach 8.5A.
To determine the right section of cable to use, here is a table: link
Materials required :
Thermostat 12V 10A W3230 link or link
Power supply 12V 10A or higher link or link
DC099 5.5x2.1mm jack connector supporting 10A link or link
Heating element 12V 100W + Fan link
Neodymium magnets 20x3mm (2 magnets needed) link or link
Wire of the right section (I used 18AWG 16 cores cable, supposed to be able to support 5A, so I doubled it to 10A and everything is ok, no abnormal heating). If you have other cable sections, please refer to this link.

Since I don't have a metal case like on the Photon S (and not having the same thermostat), I wanted to recreate a 3D model. Here, the thermostat screen is facing upwards for easier reading because the heater is placed on the base of the printer (the threaded holes on the base of the mono X are magnetized).
ATTENTION
Don't print these files in PLA, I didn't try with ABS, but it should work, the resin is much more appropriate for this kind of application. The heating module has a power of 100W and could deform the PLA.
Use cables of the correct cross-section to supply power to the heating element. Operating at 12V, the current can reach 8.5A.
