Anet A8 Mirrored Titan Aero Mount with BLTouch

thingiverse

I wanted to keep the wire chains I had installed, but there were no Titan Aero Mounts that could use them. Also, since I wanted to retain the chain, I decided to keep the stepper on the right side of the extruder assembly. That's why this design is made for a mirrored Titan Aero. Eventually, I will make standard versions of all these parts, but it will require reworking every part so it won't be quick. The chain adapter and part fan are attached to the back side of the stepper. To do this, you'll need to swap the stepper motor screws with longer ones. I used m3x35mm hex socket screws that I already had. I've tried to give credit for all the inspiration behind each feature of this hot end set. Another goal was to get the BLTouch as close to the hot end as possible without making it too difficult to add. The BLTouch mount incorporates a fan deflector idea, keeping the hot end fan from blowing forward and down, and can be used as an add-on for any mirrored Titan Aero. The main mount has slightly slotted holes to account for slight variances in Anet A8 X carriage spacing. They could be further slotted if you have a different spacing than the 44.5mm spacing (mine is closer to 44.75, so I added slots). All parts are saved in what I found to be the best orientation for strength and ease of printing. The fan duct and chain adapter will need supports. I used supports that touched only the build plate. I printed all parts in MatterHackers Build PETG with a .2mm layer height. Any questions, feel free to ask. Any issues, let me know so I can make adjustments or help you figure out a solution.
