Description
A panel for the MendelMax to hold a USB socket, IEC power socket, fuse, and switch.
Has optional text too.
Work in progress because I haven't gotten my USB sockets yet to verify the dimensions. Should be re-printed and installed in a few days.
UPDATE: I removed some of the text since it wasn't printing well. All text can be turned of with one simple change in the .scad. I added the corner cutouts on the IEC connector, and updated the dimensions. I printed a first draft but am still waiting for the USB socket.
UPDATE 2: I made some small adjustments after getting the USB jack. New scad and stl are posted. the actuall diff is in a comment below.

Get these:
StarTech 1-Feet Panel Mount USB Cable B to B - F/M (USBPNLBFBM1)
amazon.com/gp/product/B002M8VBIS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
3 Pin IEC320 C14 Inlet Male Power Socket w Fuse Switch 10A 250V

If you want to change the scad, you'll need a font (one file from thing #13677), and you'll have to set some paths internally (not hard).
If you put your panel near the motor pulley, I would recommend a guard, like this one: thingiverse.com/thing:27420
