Like the one from "bunjatec," this design can be bolted down to a wooden baseplate for maximum stability, specifically modified to accommodate the lower Y-axis placement of the Anet A8 printer. Paired with bunjatec's...

The 3D printed Y axis rod mounts that came with my Anet A8 Plus were absolute garbage quality and completely unusable. Anet had a model for them on their site, but their model, which appears to be the same as what the shipped ones were printed from...

Here is yet another Y-axis frame support for Anet A8. Rather than using a large 3D-printed geometric bracket anchored to the primary threaded rods to stiffen the acrylic plate, this one uses new threaded rods near the Y-axis belt. Print 4 of these...

*****ANOTHER NOTE: The location of the Y-axis motor and pulley mounting points for the Anet A8 should NOT be asymmetrical -- Anet messed up and cut the holes off center. The belt is mounted in the MIDDLE of the carriage, and centered between the...

Although it may not make much of a difference, it looks great and might lend some extra stability to the Y axis. Note that it doesn't touch whatever surface your printer rests on; instead, it is intended to clamp onto the Anet frame via the nuts and...

I'm modifying my Anet A8 because it didn't come with a bracket to mount the Y limit switch. So after gluing it to the frame for a bit, I decided to build a bracket. It attaches to the back right corner of the printer. ... **This replaces the rod limit...

I designed a replacement part for my Anet A8 printer because the included component didn't match up properly, so I decided to create a new one from scratch. ...The design is almost identical to the original.

The A8 Y axis front frame brace is bolted onto the threaded rods. It was created to fit snugly around the tensioner found at Thingiverse, specifically in the design with ID 1755471. The primary purpose of this brace and squarer is to ensure the...

... it's better to replace them with a normal nut. Depending on how you have the Y axis arranged, and the length of your rods, you might lose a couple of mm of Y travel. ...With this mod, you can increase the Y offset front/back slightly to compensate.

The belt holder that comes with the Anet A8 will break apart if you change to a different belt material. I opted for a fiberglass reinforced belt, but unfortunately, it shattered all of my previous holders into pieces. In response, I created this new...

... Thingiverse that didn't quite fit or were too big, wasting material. ...I made this one specifically for Anet A8 bed carriers with a 12x20mm hole pattern and secure it with 2 M10 & 2 M15 screws. ...If your prints bridge well, supports aren't needed.

My buddy recently picked up an Anet A8 Plus and ran into issues getting the bed regulated properly. The root of the trouble lay in the supports, which weren't all at equal heights - a big no-no for smooth operation. ...To help him out, I whipped up...

The ANET "A" series printers are notorious for lacking a reliable method for setting drive belt tension on the Y axis, a well-documented limitation. In an effort to resolve this issue, I explored alternative solutions and leveraged my experience...

If using the ones that come with your Anet A8 printer, make sure to have some spacers on hand. Additionally, ensure that your aluminum H-piece is properly aligned. Edit: It's impossible to achieve any tension with this belt holder alone. Therefore, I...

I originally modeled this as a "proof of concept" for the steel frame build I'm doing to my classic Anet A8, but it worked so much better than the cumbersome double wingnutted tensioner that came with the A8 Plus, I'm posting it here. The receiver...

It works pretty well but unfortunately the print bed will then knock into back of the y-axis motor (at least with the dampeners I have). It's just a few milimeters, so to combat this I decided to make a mount that I could place by hugging the rear...
