AM8 Mod Y Rod Support WIth Full A8 Travel

thingiverse

This is a modification for the Anet AM8 that allows full travel on the Y axis. The machine's design is well thought out, but the ends have been modified to be 20mm thick instead of the original 8mm. This simple part replaces the stock mounts and raises the bed by 5mm, allowing for full motion by enabling the bearing holder to move over the end of the frame to its original 8mm thickness. These captive parts require no clamping onto the rod; simply insert your Y rods and mount the part to the frame with three M5 screws and T nuts. I utilize [these endstops](https://www.amazon.com/Longruner-Mechanical-Endstop-Makerbot-LKB01/dp/B06XTB7WMK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=endstop&qid=1575733466&sr=8-1) which are very reliable, so I designed this modification to work with one of those endstops.
