This product and many more can be bought via our website at www.cobratronic.com **Anet Direct Feed E3D Carriage Mount** The motor is mounted 90 degrees off-center on the X-axis, making it easy to access the filament feeder from the front. The motor's weight is centrally located directly above the bearings for optimal stability. A heatsink fan is attached behind cooling fins to improve visibility. Additionally, a side-mounted hotend fan provides improved hotend vision. The mount has extra mounting points for bed sensor brackets and can accommodate a Black Semi Enclosed Drag Chain Carrier 10mm x 10mm. It also features tidy cable direction management. Before you ask, yes, this mount is built to handle PLA printing. You can print PETG and ABS without any issues. However, if the mount gets too hot, you should switch on your heat sink fan as the mounting area should always be cool unless you prefer blocked filament feed areas. This mount is designed for use with additional parts, such as an E3D clone hotend available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finlon-Hotend-Extruder-Printer-Filament/dp/B0734MR3JR/ref=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1508671763&sr=8-1&keywords=e3d+v6&refinements=p_76%3A419158031. **Additional Parts:** * 3D Printer MK8 Remote Extruder Right Hand available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extruder-Accessories-Filament-Aluminum-Accessory/dp/B073YB25YV/ref=sr_1_8?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1508671519&sr=1-8&keywords=3D+Printer+MK8+Remote+Extruder * Heat sink Cooling Fan available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018GFH6XO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Black Semi Enclosed Drag Chain Carrier 10mm x 10mm available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008IBKSDW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Printing Settings:** Printer: Anet A8 Material: PLA Extruder Temp: 195 Bed Temp: 60 Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 40% Cooling: Yes, start at layer 4 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Support Type: Build platform Only Support Infill:30% Dense Infil: 60% Horizontal Offset: 0.25 Upper Vertical Separation Layers: 1 Lower Vertical Separation Layers: 1 **Anet E3D Carriage Clamp** This clamp uses two M4 Socket Head Cap Screws for secure mounting.
