Top strengthners for the Anet A8

thingiverse

I just got my second Anet A8 and was about to install these strengtheners into it, but I realized they don't fit. My second Anet A8 had the newer version with mold injection X-axis pieces, so keep in mind these may not work for your model unless it's an older one. There are some alternative parts that try to achieve the same goal as these ones, but I wasn't happy with what I had and couldn't find anything that caught my eye in terms of getting things right. I designed these strengtheners to finally make my frame stronger and they do. There is still a weak area from the middle down, but I think it's strong enough for now. Be aware when installing the left support - you'll need to use a long bolt or remove one of the board separators in order to attach it to the frame. Check out the attached pic.
