Anet A8 X-Carriage Mounts

I designed these X-carriages to fit my needs. They are, for the most part, the same as the original carriages that came with the kit.
The major reason in creating these was to ensure the correct distance between the two ilders in relation to the guided rods.

- Before you start print make sure your printer is precisely calibrated!!

Assembly instructions:
- Make sure both X-guide rods are 436mm in length.
- Make sure the rods are not bent.
- For easier insertion I recommend burring the end of the 436mm guide rods first. This makes it easier to insert them into the idlers.
- Due to tolerances in the print I also recommend using an 8mm drill to smooth the holes on the carriage. Only one careful pass is necessary. The rods must still fit snugly!
- Insert the 2 rods in the left carriage until they reach the end.
- Loosen all the guide mount screws on the extruder bracket.
- Mount the assembled extruder to the guided X-rods.
- Carefully mount the right carriage to the guide rods until it reaches the end.
- Now you can mount the whole extruder assembly with carriages and X-guide rods to the Z-guide rods.
- Lastly re-tighten the guide mount on the extruder bracket until the whole extruder unit moves freely but not loose.

I've also included an X-carriage tensioner. I thought this solution was a great idea to tension the belt : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1683070
You will need 2 x M3x25mm screws and 2 x M3 nuts to mount the tensioner to the right…
