Anet A8 Improved Bowden/Titan Extruder with Spool/Filment Holder

thingiverse

I designed this mount that allows the spool to easily sit on top of the extruder in a Bowden setup using the original Anet A8 extruder or possibly another extruder. This makes it easy to manage and control the filament by having it on top of the printer and on top of the extruder. For the base, I designed it to fit the original Anet A8 acrylic frame, adding the extruder mount that was originally designed based on a design found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2146021. The design requires M3 bolts for the extruder - two 25mm and one 20mm. The base also requires three original M3x18 from the Anet A8 frame. I printed the model at 0.2 mm quality with 30% infill, but it can be printed at lower infill if desired. One year later, this mount is still working perfectly - no deformation, cracks or displacement of any kind. Thanks for downloading my design! I also have other designs available to check out.
