Anet A8 MK8 E3D mount direct drive

thingiverse

Anet A8 E3d Direct drive mount. As straightforward as it gets... Mount your e3d V6 (or similar) directly to your Mk8 extruder, It sits in exactly the same spot as the original hot end and should only require a minor Z endstop position adjustment to get working. This is still untested and was just a part I came up with while waiting for my clone Titan extruder to arrive. It uses the original Mk8 parts except for the new hotend mount that replaces the old one. I hope someone finds this useful. if it works (or doesn't), please leave a comment The original mounting mechanism will need some minor modifications to fit, the aluminium mounting plate will need drilling to allow the heatsink to fit in place. EDIT: this has now been personally tested and works as planned EDIT: I've added E3D clamps with and without fan mounts for your convenience EDIT Added a 40MM fan bracket EDIT: I've also added a "Bowden adapter" for clone heatsinks, thread is M10x1, to keep the PTFE straight
