This was created by Kel Vin! This was uploaded because people wanted it on Thingiverse and he couldn't get it there himself. Post-Printing How to Install... I designed this Thing to make it easy to access the extruder of the Anet a8 Printer when it gets jammed. Changing filament is also super easy, because you can actually see if the material fits the hole. You will need: -1x M4 metric screw (min 20mm) and nut(s), best solution would be a wingnut -2x M3 metric screws (min 30mm) and nuts, which are leftover from the Printer itself! to turn the cooler 90° and fasten it with matching cutting screws on the upper side to drill existing holes up to 6mm diameter, like in the picture to fasten the extruder motor with the stock screw, which you removed when building the printer For the other hole, just take a standard leftover screw from the printer. Enjoy your print and report back how this design improved or didn't improve your prints. Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you might cause, like when drilling into the heatsink!
