Anet A6/A8 Board Cover with 80mm Fan

thingiverse

I needed to cool down my Anet A6's board, so I created a custom plate instead of using the original one that comes with the printer. To make it, I designed a copy of the board with a mount for an 80mm fan. I'm not sure if this will also work on the Anet A8. You can pair this design with a fan grid (available at Thingiverse) and any 80mm fan you like. For my build, I used some low-profile 80mm fans from Akasa. Print Settings: Printer: Anet A6 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1-0.3 mm Infill: 10-100% Design Process: I designed this model using 123D Design, measuring the original part first to get accurate dimensions. I then used the Polyline Sketch tool in 123D Design to cut out the space needed for an 80mm fan.
