A Custom Housing for the Anet A8 Printer This housing bolts to the same guide holes as the mainboard and securely houses the mainboard and dual mosfets. Its offset design ensures it does not interfere with the X-axis motor. For cable management, there are small cages on either side of the mainboard. This custom housing fits snugly within the bounds required for a one-piece print for the A8 printer. After printing the initial version, I made some adjustments to the STL file to reflect the manual modifications I had to make. These changes have been incorporated into the updated model. Update: December 31, 2017 I've added an STL file for the lid that accommodates a 120mm fan. This upgrade allows for improved airflow and ventilation within the printer. Update: January 2, 2018 In addition to the new lid design, I've included STL files for a 120mm-80mm fan mount for those who already have an 80mm fan in place. I've also provided STLs for 120mm and 80mm fan covers to ensure optimal airflow. The Box STL file has been updated to resolve an issue with missing faces that prevented the gap behind the mainboard from printing correctly. I've also corrected a problem with the lids' mounting holes, ensuring a seamless print experience. Special thanks to Atatoth for their assistance in resolving this issue. Update: January 3, 2018 I've made minor adjustments to the STL files to further refine the design and improve print quality. Print Settings: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 10% Notes: Printed with Cura 3.1.0 LID: I printed this vertical using supports to achieve a good base layer, as the airholes in the top of the lid made it difficult to print without them.
