@Onoff I have a crimp tool from Durite for those, can't seem to find them online, think they were £40 or so though 10years ago when I got them!
RS might be worth a try or be really expensive!

A quick and dirty stainless plate o/of an old door kick plate. This for the 3D printer. A rectangular hole drillled and filed to take a male Molex connector. Fitted in place of the original mains in socket. This will just have 12V on it:



Anyone point me at a cheap crimp tool for these "Molex" crimp connectors?

I really like that.

Sorted. IEC connector and switch gone. Mounting plate and male Molex fitted. The crimper turned up. Made a reasonable job I think. All this connector has is 3 reds & 3 blacks at 12V from the externally sited PSU:

 

[MattF]

It ought be a female connector at that end.

It ought be a female connector at that end.

Nope. There's a "live" lead from the PSU that's all female pins.

Apologies. Thought you were feeding power out from there. I'll go stand in the corner.

My brother's friend made him this replica cavalry sabre from an old leaf spring. He cast the handle too:

Thanks. He just likes making pieces for friends. Doesn't need the money plus is quite ill I think so has to rest frequently.

The relocated PSU all fires up as it should.

New, bigger fan is quieter. Haven't properly fixed the IEC connector on the base section yet.

12V wires just stuffed through where the duct will go when the enclosure sits atop:

I like your idea of the slide-out components for easy access. If/when I put together a 3D printer, I might borrow that idea.

Building rear seat squabs. This cover is in Nautelex Marine vinyl, for my project and is close to being ready to fit to the base when I have done the end caps.

Here is one I made for a customer, last week for fitting himself...
