Anet A6 Z-Axis Carriages

The appearance of the A6 is rather angular. The designs of jgbbob8's Anet A6 X Axis and ejpsx's x axis anet a6 final edition destroyed this concept with their striking round shapes. That's why I designed this version of the Z-axis carriage. In the end, only the idea and more or less the outer dimensions are left of the initial models, everything else I modified. So it is not possible to reuse existing parts, but everything has to be reprinted. That's why I didn't mark it as a remix, it's a complete reinterpretation of the basic idea. In my design, I placed particular emphasis on form and function. In my opinion, it simply looks better and the assembly should be a little easier than with the original models. There are two versions of the tension wheel holder, one for a 3mm cylindrical pin and another with M3 screw. I prefer the version with the cylindrical pin because after a certain time screws always caused me problems with the bearings of the idlers. I calculated 0.3mm oversize for the 8mm bores, but it is possible that you still have to re-drill. They are also not continuously 8mm in diameter but in the middle part a little extended, so that the assembly of the guide rods should be easier. The models are already oriented as I printed them. Support structures should only be used in the middle part, in the area of the 8mm holes they only lead to problems. I'd appreciate it if you'd post your makes here.
