Anet A8 Option B Hotend Carriage

thingiverse

I've gone through thousands of designs and prototypes for my Anet A8 Hotend, testing and discarding them until I finally settled on Option B. This design works seamlessly with a 40mm Fan and houses a reliable E3D V6, allowing it to take either the Volcano or standard E3D V6 hot end due to its height-adjustable cooling fan. Option B is also compatible with the standard Anet A8 Part Cooling Duct. I'm actively working on "Option C," which will enable the use of the Spriya part cooling duct. I'm excited about this development. When assembling, make sure to attach the Base first before adding the hot end and fan assembly. The 40mm Fan is securely held in place by the front of the fan bracket assembly, while four holes at the rear are allocated for fitment. You can use standard A8 Kit components to complete Option B's installation. I'm unsure if newer versions of the Anet A8 will be compatible with Option B, so I'd appreciate feedback from users who have a new spec Anet A8. Your input would greatly benefit other A8 Users.
