Anet A8 Bowden Extruder Mount
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
Tidier and very sturdy mount for a Bowden extruder. Designed specifically for Anet A8. Lines up nicely with your hot end too.
The idea of a “Bowden” is to remove the huge weight of the motor off the print head carriage. You will need an E3D V6 hot end. Genuine is $100, clones from eBay are $20

Requires:
2 M3x25
1 M3x20
The two original M3x18 from the Anet A8 frame
*You will also need to choose from Thingiverse and then print a new hot end carriage for you E3D V6*
The toothed wheel should be brought forward by 5mm with the smallest supplied allen key.
The centre hole is 24mm wide so up to you if you use supports.
I print nearly all my parts in 50% density so again up to you what your preferred infill is.
Printed in PLA so 'as is' 100% scale in Cura
Edit: Added left side mount.
Edit: Added original 123D file for remixing
Caution for US users:
The bowden fitting for original and clone E3Dv6's seems to be an imperial larger fitting and will not fit. The correct fitting is a PC4-M6.
