3D model description

As I wasn't satisfied by the design of Asshen's bracket (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3356019) to fix a Q-60B power supply into an Apple ][ I chose to make may own system. It's not a remix since the only common point is the Q-60B power supply.

For the power plug I chose a product that also include a switch and a fuse. Sadly this product's size is a bit to big for whole of the computer case and I had to let a small void between its support and the case. I reduced it in the published thing compared to the one I made for me. This part can be printed without support with the rear face down. I think it's better to fix it first into the case.

To fix the power supply I had to get around a pillar of the case. This weaken the design so I had to add pillars on the top to reinforce the link between the 2 orthogonal parts. As the fixation to the case is weak I add 2 more bolt place onto the long side but you'll add to drill into your case to use them. Support is needed for this part.

Caution: there is a space between the power plug support and the power supply that permit to access to the power line terminal.

Don't electrocute yourself!

A regret: the contact between the power supply case and metallic part of the computer case isn't good and adding a wire to ensure the ground continuity should be a good idea.

Shopping list:
* Q-60B power supply,
* Power socket with switch and fuse,
* 8 Γ— M3 nuts,
* 8 Γ— M3Γ—8mm screw with cylindrical head,
* 2 Γ— M3Γ—10mm screw with flat countersunk head.
