Anet A6 - Y Axis - Front Plate - Strengthened

thingiverse

Important Update (30/12/2019) ----------------------------- Version 1C added, featuring diagonal support legs and enlarged Y-Axis tensioner square holes measuring 8mm x 8mm to accommodate various designers' Y belt tensioners. Version 2 introduced, utilizing knee joints for support legs. ------------------------------ My Anet A6 Y Axis Face Plate is close to wearing through the upper left guide rod. I decided to combine a design I had printed for added strength with the original face plate. Additionally, I took this opportunity to keep the sliding rods contained inside the face plate instead of using those small tabs that prevent rod slippage. The holes for screws are left intact in case users want to drill them out. This part was finally printed (using a third-party service) as my printer was unavailable. I have included Version 1B, featuring differences in overall length and height. Refer to facet drawings for detailed information. A second version was created due to the need for a slightly wider face on my original Anet A6 from three years ago, where the holes were 3-4mm farther apart. Please measure the gap between your rods carefully to select the correct version as these parts can take some time to print.
