Anet A8 Frame Brace "Bridge" - Remix

prusaprinters

<p>First I have to thank "gsoels" for the great initial design! I finally fits with the mods I already did to my Anet.</p> <p>While attaching the first brace I found that with some minor modifications to the model you can significantly improve the stability of the brace, so I:</p> <ul> <li>added a 3rd pair of holes to attach the split brackets together.</li> <li>added full holes for to attach the brace to the frame in the middle to the z-beams (see pics). Depending on how you attached your electronics board ( I do have a full electronics box) this will need some different spacers</li> </ul> <p>I also imported the models into freecad you if you want to add your own attachments, you now can start from the freecad model.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0,2 mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Surreal PETG Post-Printing =============</p> <p><strong>Screws and 3D pen</strong></p> <div><p>you need 7 M3x15 screws, 7 M3 nuts and 4 M3 washers for assembling the braces.<br/> I also have a 3D pen which I used to additional "glue" the screwed braces together. <p>You have to drill 2 holes per brace into the upper and lower horizontal frame if you want to use the second hole of the brace.</p> <p>Assembling the brace on the left side (electronics) you might be able to use some of the existing screws.</p> <p>The existing frame screws (frontal) should be long enough to additional attach the brace.</p> <p>The pictures are showing the drilling points.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Freecad</strong></p> <div><p>Imported from STL</p></div> </p></div></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
