Hi Thingiverse-Community!

<br>
** *UPDATE March 27th: Added option for parameterizable sensor holder in CUSTOMIZER.* **
<br>

I was not satisfied with the stock hotend / extruder setup of the ANET A8! I had a couple of issues with the old one and I didn't like the following things:
* Accessibility of the extruder motor was bad (unmount fan with cooling plate)
* It was hard to actually watch the nozzle during print due to a clustered design with lots of components attached to the 'print-head'
* High print speeds went along with more inaccurate results, due to the heavy 'print-head' with the extruder motor

The design is inspired / based on the design by [Jubaleth](http://www.thingiverse.com/Jubaleth) (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2002778).

<br>
**Features of this mount:**
* Slim, light and modular design
* Unobstructed view on nozzle / as few things as possible in front of nozzle (cooling fan moved to left side, leveling sensor on back)
* Equipped with several slots for zip ties for a proper cable management
* Cooling fan in (nearly) same distance to the nozzle as before -> you have good chances to still use your current cooling duct
* Fully compatible with x-axis cable chain (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2105040)
* Customizable sensor holder (optional in customizer interface) - ***Attention:** this sensor mount may interfere with other components (e.g. a cable chain), I still recommend the rear sensor holder (see links below)*
