[AM8] MGN12 Z-Axis + 2020 X-Axis w/ Mini V Gantry carrier

thingiverse

I have a 2020 X-Axis mod with Mini V Gantry installed on my Anet AM8 printer and I'm looking to upgrade the Z axis performance. I really like the design of BLV's MGN12 system, but it's intended for use on the X axis only, while I want to keep the existing carriage intact. To make this happen, I've decided to fabricate custom parts that will integrate the MGN12 rails with my current setup. **Update 2018-04-25:** After printing a test version of the new components, I was able to verify their fit on the 2020 profile (see attached photos). While some fine-tuning is required - there's a blocked hole due to a misaligned fusion, and the end stop on the tensioner side interferes with a square nut - the initial batch turned out great. Now it's time for me to purchase the necessary MGN12 and MGN12H components.
