thingiverse

This print mount was designed specifically to hold the QuadFusion print head on the Anet A8 Plus 3D printer. Two versions of this mount are currently available, with a third version set to be released soon. The details for the mount can be found below. Mount Versions: - Basic Mount - No LEDs - Mount With 2 LEDs - Holds two 5mm LEDs - Mount with Inductive Sensor - Coming Soon... Hardware Used: 4 - M4-0.70 Nylon Lock Nuts (Prevented them from coming loose during a print.) 2 - M3-0.50 Nylon Lock Nuts (Prevented them from coming loose during a print.) 2 - M3-0.50x15mm Countersunk Style Screws (Holds the print head to the mount) 4 - M4-0.70x35mm Pan Head Screws (Holds the rear mount to the front mount) To attach this mount to your printer, use the original screws (12 screws). Install Instructions: - Tap the 6 required nuts gently into the mount. They will be tight but they will fit when tapped in. (Your print quality may cause issues) (See picture to see nuts tapped into mount) - Install the top 8 screws that hold this mount to the printer. - Slide the QuadFusion print head onto the new mount. - Install the 2 screws needed to hold the print head to the mount. Make sure they are flush with the back side of the mount. - Slide the rear attachment into place and insert one screw at a time. Make sure all 4 screws are in before tightening. (Be careful not to push the lock nuts out of the mount) LED Install Instructions: - The LEDs I used can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4025132 - These are 5mm LEDs. Slide both LEDs into place in the LED tube. (I left the holes a little small so you can use a drill bit to adjust the LED height to your liking.) Once you get them at the desired height, fill the tube opening with hot glue. The tube was left open for easy cleaning or removal of the glue if an LED goes out. - The rest of the instructions for the LED setup I used is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4025132
