Anet A6 reinforced rod cover

thingiverse

This rod cover is designed specifically for rods on X,Y and Z axes in the Anet A6. To make it stronger, I made this cover thicker than the original one. This allows users to overtighten the Y axis screws slightly, which helps to stiffen the printer's movement in that direction by applying pressure against the Y axis rods or compensating for any curvature of the surface under the printer - not all tables and cabinets are perfectly flat, unfortunately. The original part often breaks off when moving the printer around, so I created a thicker version with a pit for the screw to accommodate the use of original screws. Anet_Rod_Cover_3.stl provides a more balanced look if that's what you prefer; the previous version works well when mirrored on both sides of the printer.
