Anet A8-M Fan Duct Spriya Remix

thingiverse

Anet A8-M is quite an unusual character with limited customization options beyond standard Anet A8 parts. Out of the box, it doesn't even have a part cooling fan like its regular counterpart. Since the dual-extruder Anet A8-M cannot use standard fan ducts designed for the single-extruder A8, I decided to create one. This fan duct is inspired by lokster's "Spriya" design found on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2133328. Fan ducts are specifically made to fit 50x50x15mm "turbo" style fans. A 5015 fan can be securely fastened with a M3x18 screw and nut. The fan duct mount is designed to slot into the available space between the extruder cooling fan and its fins. Simply remove one of the screws holding the cooling fan, push in the fan duct, and reassemble the screw once more - you're ready to go. Fans are positioned at a convenient angle for easy access to the extruder button, allowing for seamless filament feeding into the extruder. The assembly also includes some play for fine-tuning the vertical angle of the fan ducts after installation.
