I did like the DIY3DTech adjustable air assist. Very simple and effective. I had already done the top plate from JimmyT's air assist.</p> <p>So... I cut off the air assist from Brian's design but the DIY3DTech design interferes with the up/down motion of the Z axis. The solution? Cut off part of the mount for the air assist hose and stick it with double stick or hot glue.</p> <p>The Z plate needs to print on the flat side and has a thin wall for the now unused tube which I was too lazy to fill in. So it needs to be sliced with a layer height that won't leave the tube open. Although I guess, since we aren't using the tube, it doesn't really matter.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anet</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>A8</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Generic PLA Post-Printing =============</p> <p>You'll need an air pump and some hose along with a 3d print nozzle.<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:0/edit">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:0/edit</a></p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>Sadly, this item has been bitten by the Thingiverse bug where you can't find it on my designs or search for it, but it works if you have the link.
