anet a8 wire management 3d models

I acquired an upgraded power supply unit for my A8, swapping out a 20A model for a more robust 30A unit. Unfortunately, the mounting holes on the new supply did not align with existing holes, prompting me to forego drilling new ones. The PSU...

... setup. ...This particular configuration is hands-down the most effective way to attach it. Not only does it offer precise alignment, but it also creates a clear pathway for filament feed and cable management within easy reach of the extruder itself.

I eventually came up with this idea, which consists of two parts and is designed specifically for standard Anet steppers. As usual, I used sintered bronze bushings throughout. I produced versions with 4 and 3 bushings, but since the rods aren't...

... hour prints. For my set up, ended up having the second extruder at (X-32.25, Y0). Might also adjust the rear anet_dual_x_carriage_v4 since my X-axis belt was rubbing and added some spacers for the rear Tronxy mount which isn't clear in the photos.

Update 6/6/2017 - Removed Anet Springs and Installed Dual Thumbwheels, To accomplish this update, you need to have four M3 nuts to attach flat head screws to the top plate, then drill out the threads on the y-axis carriage. I combined it with my bed...

... its length being 4mm too long when combined with the damper. ... My Anet is now remarkably quiet thanks to these dampers on the X and Y axis, paired with the External Fan featured in one of my other projects: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3290553

I've used two of these systems on my Anet printer, but mounting them and tightening the belt isn't straightforward. Next, we should focus on improving the belt-tightening process. To increase the assembly's strength, I've made some attempts at...

You'll also need to add some M3 washers, which shouldn't be a problem for most Anet users who have plenty of extras lying around. ... Don't forget to update your firmware with the correct offset (37mm): define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 37 define...

... nervous in terms of acceleration an jerk... EDIT : I switched to MARLIN firmware which is now natively compatible with ANET. I join the configuration for MARLIN too. ... As you may see on the second pictures, the autolevel does pretty good job ;-)

... regards to acceleration and jerk. Note: I switched to MARLIN firmware, which is now natively compatible with ANET. I'm also sharing the configuration for MARLIN. ... As you can see from the second picture, the autolevel feature works very well.

... the "no drilling required" school of design. The wire bundles in my pictures are enclosed inside 1/2 inch Techflex Flexo F6 Split Sleeving, which I highly recommend for its professional appearance and functionality compared to spiral sleeving.

People have been struggling with hotbed connections that fail over time due to shorts, and searching for solutions has yielded little beyond cable chains that usually require rotating the bed sideways and manually soldering wires onto it. ...In...

... so I created this solution after failing to find a suitable one elsewhere. ...It was designed to hold a zip tie, allowing you to simply screw it into place without having to undo everything else. To prevent damage, I secured the wires with tape.

I managed to find the cheapest webcam suitable for OctoPrint and it's this model, which will also work seamlessly with the y-belt tensioner. ... Here are the settings I used to get OctoPi to recognize my camera: camera_usb_options="-f 15 -r 320x200...

### Highlights: - optimized for perfect balance with motor as close to smooth rods as possible to minimize play - rigid but lightweight, high stress parts are one piece - open assembly for easy servicing - you can use HOT2 fan duct from original...

... one. Thanks. Leo Update 2017.07.06 Added a version for use with a BLTouch "Anet_Fan_Sensor_Holder_BLT_Leo_N" You will need two M3 screws. ... Update 2017.08.13 Updated "Anet_Fan_Sensor_Holder_BLT_Leo_N" to accommodate the new version BLTouch-Smart

UPDATE PLEASE USE FILES V5 Ive just updated these so they fit together better and nuts are easier to insert Hopefully this will be the last update Wanted a new extruder for my A8 Still learning how to use fusion 360 so thought a good place to start...

I created this modification because loading the filament onto my A8 printer has been a real hassle. To simplify the process, I've added a small piece of Teflon tube to the lever. The heat break is positioned so that it's perfectly aligned with the...

I attached my wires directly to the heated bed after the connector failed, but they continued to come loose due to stress. I attempted a cable chain, yet it still caused stress at the end of each movement. Most other solutions required attaching...

This is a custom plate created to house 2 led switches that I had previously wired up to illuminate my extruder carriage and frame. I specifically designed it to sit atop the lcd, ensuring effortless access to the switches. To mount this plate,...

This is a a plate to hold 2 led switches I had wired up to add lights to my extruder carriage and around my frame. I designed it to sit on top of the lcd for easy access to the switches. ...To mount it just take out the top 2 lcd spacers and this fits...

This is a protective cover for the bottom of the power supply unit, designed to securely hold a power input module featuring a switch and keep high-voltage wiring safely contained. A major advantage of this design is that it bolts directly onto the...

... a dual USB port. I used a Dollar Tree car charger to get the 12v to 5v easily. Just popped the plastic off and added wires to connect to PS 12v. This thing was made with Tinkercad. ...Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/faBlmHRtFYZ

Hi Everyone, This is a Super Simple Filament Guide for the Anet 8. I just wanted to create something quick and easy to try out some new materials I recently bought. So I decided to share it with my fellow makers. I was playing around with bamboo...

I managed to squeeze in some downtime at work and decided to combine two awesome designs into one killer creation. ...Unfortunately, my printer isn't arriving until tomorrow so I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet.\r\n\r\nInspired...

So installation should be much faster and simpler than with most other A8 strain reliefs. The 8 holes are meant for zip ties, so you can route your cable as needed (depending on your setup). Print time should average around 2h30m with roughly 30gr of...

UPDATE: Several little tweaks have been made to improve the design: * A 40mm side fan has been added * Some fillets have been added to the cable management for strength * The depth of the cover holes was reduced from 50mm to something more...

Unscrew all of the long Bed Screw's clockwise a little bit at a time to prevent the spring from bending them.(Pic 001) Now you need four nuts to secure the Screw's on the Hotbed (usually there are some left)(Pic 005) Install the Spring, Spring...

It seems Anet intentionally misaligned those rods to create some friction. If you're experiencing this issue too, here's a fix for you! This will stop your Z Axis from falling down when your printer is off but won't prevent your z-axis from moving...

... me to easily convert 12v to 5v. Simply removing the plastic casing and adding wires to connect to the PS 12v did the trick. This creation was crafted using Tinkercad. ...You can edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/faBlmHRtFYZ.
