Anet VM8 Project 2020 Frame

This project was spurred by my wish for an AM8 frame for my trusty, well modded, Anet A8. Sadly I couldn’t warrant the cost of the 4020 extrusion, currently costing £70 or more. I priced 2020 extrusion on AliExpress and couldn’t believe I could get 3 x 1m lengths for £20. Two weeks later it arrived, I had already started my project, remixing, measuring and printing the necessary parts I would need. Most of the inspiration and parts came from Venom V2 3D printer and Pheneeny’s AM8, my thanks to the main sources. Although I liked venomprinting’s design I couldn’t resolve some measurements and design. Designed a new Y belt tensioner based on Venom V2 combined with AM8 to allow adjustment. Remixed Venom V2 Y Motor mount to sit inside frame AM8 style. **Parts List** Anet A8 component parts **2020 Alumnium Extrusion** 2 x 360mm (Optional drill a 4mm hole in each, 140mm from rear, 90deg through centre) n.b.
