anet a8 y axis upgrade 3d models

To upgrade my Anet A8's heatbed to a larger size of 200x300, I chose 10mm threaded rods, which needed to be 100mm longer than the originals. I opted for these thicker rods to ensure the frame remains rigid and stable over the extended distance. The...

This chain differs from all the other Y-Axis cable chains on Thingiverse significantly. First of all, this chain rolls horizontally "sideways". This chain does not interfere with big hocking bed leveling knobs, nor does it require a significant...

This custom Y-Axis support system utilizes two precision-crafted pieces of 8mm threaded rod, measuring approximately 313mm and 353mm in length respectively. Four matching 8mm nuts are seamlessly integrated to provide a robust and reliable framework.

I broke two of the supplied acrylic clamps, because I put them on a little too tightly. ...My clamp has the same size with a recess for the Y-axis belt. ...It fix the belt but cannot break that easy.

Just installed a crucial addition to the Y-axis frame mount's cap, a precision-cut hole that provides a seamless fit and enhanced stability. ...This mod is inspired by Thingiverse's innovative design #2105627.

Matsekberg devised an innovative plan to remove Y-axis belt tension from the front frame panel by incorporating threaded rods on each side of the belt, similar to X-belt tension transferred to carriage rods. This eliminates the need for extensive...

I added a crucial function, y-axis tension to compensate. I feel that this version surpasses the original in every way. The design is inspired by "Y_tension1,stl" (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1718315). ...Print Settings Printer Prusa i3 Rafts No...

UPDATE: If you're using the rear brace from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2118713 with threaded rods as mentioned earlier, print one "Y-axis vibration dampener rear brace near motor" file and three normal ones. ...Install this on the shortest rod...

I modified matsekberg's Y-axis rework by swapping out 6mm rods for 8mm ones, giving it a fresh look that's ready to roll right out of the printer, minus some minor tweaks I made on the fly to iron out initial design flaws. ... Note: My original plan...

This is my custom y-axis chain. To assemble it, rotate the bed by 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. I downsized the chain to fit snugly within the printer's case, as larger chains were too bulky and obstructive. My creation features precise...

This replaces brittle acrylic straps holding the belt on the bed's bottom for the Y-axis, also improving belt geometry by lowering the belt a few mm to align with the pulley. The belt ends slip into block halves and out through the hole. When loose,...

I've heard about the benefits of a spring-loaded axis for CNC machines, which inspired me to create my own version for my 3D printer. This modification aims to reduce belt vibration and maintain even tension at all times. The standard bed level...

My third update is the cable chain for the Y-axis. My problem is that, being in a wheelchair, my fingers have no strength and I didn't want to have to let go of everything to insert one by one into each link. That seems unnecessary to me and so I...

When searching for a Y-Axis Cable Chain, most available options were positioned on the left side, obstructing the home position and either colliding with or rubbing against the frame. To cater to my specific needs, I decided to create a custom...

I was operating an 8 hour print session the other day when I noticed my Y axis motor had reached a temperature that would have been hot enough to cook an egg (albeit not literally). Consequently, I decided to create a cooler for it. I designed this...
