<H5>Story</H5>
One of the Anet A8 biggest drawbacks is the lack of stability in the X-axis. The higher you print the more layers may shift or waves may occur on the printed object.
For this reason I designed popular brackets to reduce the motion in X-axis: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1872162
However they will not completely eliminate the issue.
I therefore came up with a more effective means of reducing / eliminating any X-axis motion on the printer.
<H5>Goals / Highlights</H5>
- Eliminates any motion in x-axis direction.
- Is adjustable to fit any frame misalignment's.
- Can always be readjusted to compensate for a loosening frame due to vibrations.
- Uses less filament compared to other designs.
- Easy fits on a print bed.

Select files
- "Hulk_Right_Top_Arm_wBracket_Leo_N.stl" and
- "Hulk_Left_Top_Arm_wBracket_Leo_N.stl"
if you have my "Brackets" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1872162) installed on your printer. The "Brackets" are not needed for the "Hulk" braces if you haven't already printed them.
You will want to open the holes by using a sharp knife. After the braces have been mounted use a 3.5mm drill and then secure the part with screw, washer and nut (see picture).
If you are not using the Brackets then use files
- "Hulk_Right_Top_Arm_Leo_N.stl" and
- "Hulk_Left_Top_Arm_Leo_N.stl"
for assembly.
Files
- "Hulk_Right_Bottom_Support_Leo_N.stl" and
- "Hulk_Left_Bottom_Support_Leo_N.stl"
will…
