3D model description

Proteus Power Control
This is a very handy project that I created to easily control multiple things from my desk. Anything plugged into this will be turned on and off by the button. The one in the photos is for specialized speakers and hardware that needs to be turned on/off multiple times while working/testing - instead of unplugging each one individually!

Safety Disclaimer:
Please test and check your wiring before leaving it plugged in. This is meant to be left running 24/7, ensure that it works properly before leaving it. You are responsible for all parts and wiring.

Printing
Use any filament
No supports needed
Models should lay flat by default. If not you need to print models with the back on your build plate (plug side).

Electronics/Wiring
Please ensure you follow the wiring diagram and use proper wire gauge.

Power wires must be Single Strand (solid) Wire - 12 gauge.
Button wires can be Stranded Wire - 20 gauge or larger.

Suggested parts:
this is designed for these part sizes
