Anet A8 Plus filament loader, best upgrade ever.

thingiverse

While loading filament on my Anet A8 Plus I found you had to pretty much manhandle the hot end carriage, and that would put the hot end off level with the bed. On a new print you could lose adhesion meaning releveling the bed, and in a filament change on a print I have had missed layers and part/hot end collisions. This was all due to POOR DESIGN and a flimsy carriage. Well I made a reinforcement that also eases the filament loading, as all you have to do now in pinch the tabs like a pair of pliers and insert the filament, no more releveling the bed to the new carriage setting. You will need 2- m3 x25 screws for the fan motor mount and 2- m4 x 15 screws for the bearing side mount and one m4 x 20 screw and nut to mount the lever.
