Anet A8 Filament Runout Mount for Bowden Extruder

prusaprinters

This is a Filament runout sensor mount with/without a Bowden E-Stepper motor mount. Designed to sit on top of the Anet A8 acrylic frame, on the right hand side. Removal of the small acrylic paddle keeping the smooth guide rod is necessary and no longer needed. This part replaces that and utilizes the screw/screw hole to maintain placement. If your Bowden E-Stepper is mounted on the left side of the frame, simply mirror in your slicer.
