Anet A8 Top Frame Brace

thingiverse

This is a straightforward mod that adds rigidity to your frame, also serving as a carry handle. With a stiffer frame, you can print faster and more accurately. To install the mod, you will need a 330mm length of M8 threaded rod and four M8 nuts. Six nuts work even better; use the extra nuts as lock nuts. I also used some M8 penny washers between the nuts and the printed bushes for added stability. First, print four 8mm bushes that fit into the holes in the acrylic frame. Then, assemble the parts according to the instructions shown. Update: If you can't find M8 materials in your area, try using a 10mm version with 3/8" threaded rod and nuts instead.
