Anet A8 E3D Titan Aero Mount & Fan Duct

thingiverse

Update 1/4/18: New version available! (Anet A8 Titan Aero Mount v2 w/ inductive sensor mount) I upgraded my Anet A8 extruder to the E3D Titan Aero extruder/heatsink/hot-end combo, which puts everything along the X axis on a horizontal path. I've attached a picture of my setup so you can see what the finished part will look like. At this thickness, the parts are highly rigid and should be able to withstand the same level of abuse as the original steel carriage, even when printed with PETG. The carriage prints in 2 pieces to avoid having to print supports, resulting in additional thickness over the factory carriage. To secure the linear bearings properly, you will need 8 M4x10mm screws - the original M4x8mm screws are not long enough. I've also included an STL file for a new fan duct since the fan has moved and typical A8 fan ducts will no longer be effective. The biggest reason I moved the fan is because the big extruder gear changes the depth of the carriage quite significantly. Note: with this fan duct, you may need to adjust extruder temp (mine's about 3 degrees different) while it's on because it does blow over the nozzle a bit. Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.4mm / 0.25mm layer height Infill: 40% Notes: Note: I printed with PETG, use whatever layer height you typically use for structural parts. Use at least 4-6 shells to improve part strength as well as multiple solid top/bottom layers. A part fan will improve strength as well. Infill percentage is up to you, I printed at 100% but anything above 20% should be just fine.
