AM6 - 2040 Aluminium Frame for Anet A6

thingiverse

This is a custom design combining my own ideas with other concepts found on thingiverse. The 2040 frame components I used are as follows: - 1 x 313mm Top Cross member (2040 extrusion) - threaded for 4 x end bores M6 to attach to Vertical members - 2 x 313mm Base Front/Back members (2040 extrusion) - each milled with 4 recessed M6 Cap Head bolts for attaching to Base Side members - 2 x 364mm Base Side members (2040 extrusion) - each threaded for 4 x end bores M6 to attach to Base Front/Back members - 2 x 440mm Vertical members (2040 extrusion) - each with 2 hex key access holes at the top for attaching to the Top Cross member Hardware: Note: The number of M5 nuts needed will depend on the parts printed and any modifications made during assembly. It's recommended to buy spare parts. For joining the Top Cross member to Vertical members: - 4 x M6x20mm stainless steel button head screws For joining Base Side members to Vertical members: - 2 x stainless steel 20mm right angle brackets - 4 x M4x8mm stainless steel countersunk screws - 4 x M4 T-Block nuts for 6mm T-Slot - 2 x aluminium 20x20x40mm right angle brackets - 8 x M5x8mm stainless steel button head screws - 8 x M5 T-Block nuts for 6mm T-Slot For joining Base Side members to Base Front/Back members: - 8 x M6x30mm stainless steel cap head screws Base Side member feet: - 4 x circular rubber feet - 4 x M4x8 stainless steel button head screws - 4 x M4 drop in/swivel nuts for 6mm T-Slot Additional hardware: - 60 x M5x10mm stainless steel button head screws - 9 x M5x10mm stainless steel cap head screws - 35 x M5 T-Block nuts for 6mm T-Slot - 35 x M5 drop in/swivel nuts for 6mm T-Slot Note: - Ensure the printer is properly calibrated to avoid issues with parts fitting. - I use an inductive prox for my z-stop, so no microswitch z-stop part is included.
