Turn off the power after printing complete automatically and wirelessly, easy to mount and no wire
###Why did I make it ?
Given the heat a 3D printer can generate, even when idle, I would better kill it than let it powered unattended, both for the planet, and to reduce the slightest risk of fire. ;)
###How it works
after finish printing, move X to the position where trigger the remote module
just add 2 gcode to the end of the gcode file.
G4 S120 ; Dwell for 120 second for cool the hotend
G1 X200 ; move X to the position(here is 200mm) that hits the switch
the battery life is as long as car fob. For it is only 6ma when triggered and then power off itself automatically
###The BOM
1×battery is the CR2032
1×super capacitor
1×endstop switch
1×remote control power outlet (isolated power supply,10A resettable fuse)
1×radio transmitter
###What makes it special?
Easy to mount,
No drilling,
No wire,
No need to change firmware.
