Dell DA-2 12V 18A power supply is often used in 3D printers.
However the plug is not standard (differs in arrangement of square and slanted pins), so it does not fit 8-pin Molex plug housing. Many solutions are available online, including cutting away the plug.
I designed adapter socket that fits 12-pin Molex, as the smallest Molex that includes required pin arrangement. It does not require changes in the power supply plug.
Part number for Molex is 39-01-2121, Mini-Fit Jr. Plug Housing, Dual Row, 12 Circuits, UL 94V-2, with Panel Mounting Ears, Natural. Order it with necessary pins.

Features:
1. The stl can be inserted as part your design. I use it in the base of my printer (see photo).
2. The adapter covers 4 unused pins of Molex. No mistake possible.
3. It has holes that fit mounting ears of the housing. The housing stays in place.
4. It has a hole for power supply plug latch (locking mechanism). The plug will not fall off, unless you unlatch the plug. It also ensures that
