Anet A8 Filament Loading Button (thumb saver)

prusaprinters

<p>I have a small business with my Anet A8 and I have to change filament a lot. The thumb screw that comes up as a button for releasing the filament from the feeder was destroying my thumb. I got fed up with it, so I made this to be able to hold the button down longer than 10 second intervals.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3 mm</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>30%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I printed it with the hole side down. It's a steep enough angle where supports aren't needed and the detail is best and most comfortable if you keep the thumb indent at the top.<br/> These are the settings that I did it at, although this is such a simple part that I don't believe it really matters the settings.</p> </div></p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
