<header>Upgraded Prusa i3 MK2 X-Axis Kit</header> <b>Important Update!</b> If you downloaded this kit before October 8, 2018, 19:30 GMT+2, be aware that earlier versions contained incorrect files for the top axis. This has since been rectified. <b>Kit Overview</b> This is a direct replacement kit to upgrade your X-axis to match the Prusa i3 MK2 design by Josef Prusa. The spacing between steel rods and the Z-spindle differs slightly, requiring some adjustments. <b>Optional Features</b> You can choose from two versions: one with integrated Z-spindle anti-wobble bearings (similar to those found in skateboards) or a version that does not include this feature. Decide which option best suits your needs. <b>Detailed Specifications</b> The bearing fit is modeled at 22.3mm, which worked perfectly for my setup, but results may vary. The hole for the steel rod is designed at 8.1mm to ensure a precise fit on my A8 printer. <b>Upgrade Benefits</b> This kit seamlessly integrates with your Anet A8, allowing you to utilize the X-axis parts from the Prusa i3 MK2 without compromising your original components. If needed, you can easily revert back to your original setup. <b>Additional Resources</b> For the required X-axis parts, visit: https://www.prusa3d.com/downloads/others/prusai3_mk2_stl.zip <b>Critical Note!</b> Before installing this kit, be aware that you will need to make a minor cut in your printer's frame to create a relief for the X-axis motor. This adjustment ensures proper alignment and does not compromise the rigidity of your printer.
