This is a simple fusebox with LEDs that will show you instantly **when a fuse blows**. If an LED is lit, the fuse is good!
**Quick note about the picture:** I only had one bolt partially in when I took the picture. It accepts bolts on all four corners with no problems :)
I got frustrated with the poly-fuses often used on 3D printer boards. They are typically undersized and extremely unreliable, blowing even when you are below their rating. Instead, I wanted a fused solution with *easy-to-find* automotive fuses.
The face plate holds the fuses and can be attached to the enclosure with almost any-length M3 bolts. The enclosure is deep enough to allow you to use crimp-on spade connectors without trouble. If you find the enclosure is too deep for you, simply scale it on the "Z" axis - the screw holes go all the way through almost to the back.
**For schematics, list of materials (BOM), and build instructions, see my blog post here:**
