Anet a8 bed frame supports(for cnc upgrade)

thingiverse

I found out the anet installation video is wrong my bed is upside down It will work the same reversed just dont use photo as a reference... The stl is up there for the idea i dont know if it will hold up with the bed heating up... Ive been wanting to do this once i actually needed to take apart the heating bed assembly to repack the bearings.. The reason i made it is because if you look at your beds aluminum frame you might notice a slight bow or bend because of the lack of support there so every time you tighten the belt the frame is actually bending down...This will straighten it out and strengthen the frame since and im taking every measure so i can machine stuff with more confidence on the anet... The photos are from 5mm plexi or 1/4 inch thick plexi glass... since I have alot of scrap pcs i figured id save the filament and use what i have since this is a hefty build for 3dprinters... Also I would recommend plexi or aluminum if you have it.. I left the vectors if you want to machine it... Installation video https://youtu.be/x-Moko1oc_g Installation pre drill and tap the holes on the aluminum frame with a 3.2 or 1/8" mm drill bit with 4mm tap for m4 screw threading.... but you can just drill thru the frame and use a nut or bolt.. Just be wary of the screws coming out to far on the bottom of the frame the clearance is around 4 or 5mm to the plexi.. Check the installation video for futher explaination Enjoy Post-Printing
