Tips are definitely welcome, and Amazon links below are affiliate links. I appreciate your support!   Description New version of the titan aero mount I had made (old mount) X axis has 250mm+ range of motion with this upgrade, capable of reaching the entire bed. Attached pictures show the extruder's reach.   New Features Increased rigidity across all dimensions Size allowance for 5mm vibration damper (Amazon) (Optional) Mount for "extra big-ass" (8mm) inductive sensor (Amazon) Belt holder redesign, could even be replaced with different belt holder if desired (fits standard A8 mount) Fan mount removed, as many superior options are now available that mount directly onto the Aero heatsink Can be mirrored (in your slicer settings)   Required Hardware Some or all of the following can be salvaged from the original Anet A8 gantry 12- M4x8mm bolts (or longer) for mounting to bearings 2- M3x18mm bolts (or longer) for attaching belt gripper 2- M3 nut for attaching belt gripper (optional) 3- M3x40mm bolts for extruder motor with damper Installation Notes The extruder motor should slide in somewhat diagonally into the hole. I've shortened the right end vertical wall significantly to accommodate this, eliminating the need for the slot in the top of the motor mount wall. If you use the mirrored setup, I make no guarantees to the usefulness of the sensor mount, but I'd love to hear any feedback from someone who does and how well it worked out.   Recommended Addons Part fan adapter from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2567051 Laminar flow fan plate (thing:432630) - this keeps the extruder fan from blowing over the nozzle and increases fan efficiency I completely love this 40mm fan (Amazon) - it blows a fat load of air while being completely silent at 5v. It's really a big upgrade over the fan provided with the Aero. I'm not sponsored, just a happy customer.
