There's three different ways to approach the power supply question.
This is the budget option, and will reuse the 12v supply that came with your Duplicator i3.
All STLs only need to be printed once, and can be printed out of any filament type you'd like.

Having issues with the stock power supply? Upgrade it to a proper unit from Meanwell.

This is the ultimate option, which takes that same Meanwell unit and upgrades the case to house a significantly larger fan. The fan makes this thing nearly silent, and ideal if the printer sits in the same room as you do. I absolutely recommend this option.
Take a look at the separate upgrade page here that goes into greater detail.
| Tool | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal Crimper | Amazon | Make sure it can do 26 gauge thru 12 gauge terminals |
| Flush Cutter | Amazon | |
| Wire Stripper | Amazon | |
| Heat Gun (or a lighter) | Amazon | |
| Screw Driver Set | Amazon | Must contain a variety of Hex and Philips head drivers |
Note that several of the links are to parts assortments, and a single assortment should cover all of the parts of that type. Obviously, you can also source parts elsewhere if desired, the linked ones are just a convenient option.
| Item | Quantity | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Gauge Wire | 2 meters | Mouser | 12 gauge is a bit overkill, but safety is worth it |
| 12 Gauge Spade Terminal | 2 | Mouser | These might need some slight filing down to fit into the terminal block |
| M3 6mm Socket Cap Machine Screws | 2 | Amazon | If you've done the Z brace upgrade, then you likely have enough screws left over from that. |
| M3 10mm Socket Cap Machine Screws | 6 | Amazon | |
| M3 Washers | 6 | Amazon | |
| M3 Hex Nuts | 6 | Amazon |
