A8 Titan V6 X-Carriage

Human: REMINDER: This model does not include a cooling fan mount. Figure out a solution yourself or post an alternative design. I will eventually share another version with a built-in fan mount, but this one works and the geometry is acceptable. You should be able to use stock fasteners from the Titan to attach a NEMA connector through the wall. You'll see how it fits together. This X-Carriage (or extruder mount) allows you to attach a Titan extruder and a V6 hotend to an Anet A8 without sacrificing much build volume. It's designed for use with a replacement belt holder like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2427494 or other similar designs. My plate spreads the upper bearing out slightly to increase rotational rigidity, but you'll still be able to print almost a centimeter off the right side of the bed, just like before. This design should not require significant adjustments to your Y axis over stock settings, but I had to shift my X axis by about 25mm and lost around four millimeters of vertical travel overall. Printed in silver PLA and working fine. There's enough space under the carriage to attach a fan, blowing directly on the hotend and cooling the print with turbulent air. I recommend this setup until I find time to update the design with an integral airpath and fan mount for the effective A8 fan. For now, this model is fully functional, but be aware of your materials since I cut the tolerances super-close. If you have significant shrinkage, you may bind your x-bearings.
