Anet A8 Plus Bondtech BMG X2 Mounting Plate

cults3d

This is a custom designed mounting plate for the Anet A8 Plus to upgrade it to the Bondtech BMG X2, with clearance for access to the screws on the E3D Chimera and Cyclops. I highly suggest having this cut by a CNC or by an operator with a mill in 3mm aluminum. This results in the mount being strong, but lighter than the original bent steel mount for the single extruder, and gives enough room for the m3 threading needed to mount the belt tensioner. The original belt tensioner mech is reused as are the bearing mounts, so this is a bolt on upgrade, though adjustment to your end stops using spacers, and software limits are needed. See the upgrade in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCKj3b3ZlxM Included is a 3mm thick STL file, a DXF and screenshot of the layout with dimensions in metric and imperial. Printing in ABS or PETG alone will result in drooping over time due to bed heat, higher temp/reinforced materials may work better. For the cooling fan assembly my remix of Empiricus' mount with the BLTouch moved to the front is a good option.
