Anet A8 j head v5 carriage with 12mm sensor and 40 mm fan duct

thingiverse

I'm on the hunt for a lighter alternative to my trusty MK8 extruder on my Anet A8, so I've scoured my workshop and stumbled upon an old J-Head V5 that's just begging to be repurposed. I've taken it upon myself to design a carriage that will snugly fit onto the original bearing holders, allowing me to utilize all the remaining equipment I have on hand. The fan duct is cleverly designed to thread itself using 3mm screws, leaving no room for bolts whatsoever! It's a tight squeeze, but it gets the job done. My setup only accommodates a 12 mm inductive sensor, which just so happens to match my current configuration. If you're planning on building this carriage and run into any issues during assembly, please don't hesitate to let me know - I'll do my best to troubleshoot and provide a fix. Here are the print settings for this project: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 20%
