anet a8 easy E3D bowden extruder solution

cults3d

Hi! I was converting my Anet A8 printer to E3D V6 hotend solution. They were cheap, so I bought two of them. One was installed as a printer hotend, and the other one sat unused. I was searching for an extruder conversion to bowden at the time and realized that the E3D radiator perfectly fits my extruder! https://youtu.be/THE_QXR764Y I've tested it, and it works flawlessly: - It's a full metal solution. - It cools the extruder motor (because it's a radiator :)). - The cooling fan was included in the E3D, making it easy to place for improved cooling. - It features PTFE tubing inside. - It can be easily removed. - There is no interference with the original extruder construction at all. Now there was a problem - where to mount it. I searched available solutions on Thingiverse but didn't find what I was looking for... ...but. There are big holes in Anet's frame on the sides. Someone heard a long time ago that they're cable ducts, but no one uses them and no one knows what they're really for. This is the perfect place to mount a bowden extruder! So, I've designed a mounting option. Please test it and let me know how it works!
