Anet A8 Vertical stabilizer frame (CNC cut)

thingiverse

This is a vertical (XZ axis) stabilizer/stiffener frame for Anet A8. This is the least stiff axis on this printer. The geometry of the original frame is poorly thought out, as there's no perpendicular stiffeners to the vertical plates. This is my fix. This is meant to be CNC cut. The thicker and stiffer material, the better. I used 18mm plywood. NOTE: The model has two bugs: it's a tiny bit too narrow, so you'll need to untighten screws on the original frame, drill through the vertical posts into the stabilizer frame, and then retighten original screws to get rid of the slop. The second bug is that the Y axis threaded rod won't fit properly, so you'll need to file down some of the frame to fit.
