Anet A8 X-Axis Belt Aluminum Holder

thingiverse

The included STL file is a dummy model of 1/16 x 3/4 by 62mm in length L-shaped aluminum angle, allowing a picture to be posted. Below you will see the Anet A8 X-Axis Belt Aluminum Holder made from 3/4x3/4 aluminum L-shaped angle cut using a Dremel rotary tool. A single 1/16 x 3/4x3/4 aluminum angle was used, with cuts made to the width and slots cut out using a Dremel rotary tool with a grinder wheel. To give a better idea, I added a rough drawing based on the created bracket that was cut without being previously drawn out. Essentially, I winged a prototype without making any drawings, relying on estimated measurements instead. As you can see, this is pretty much to size, but it's missing mounting holes at this point, which I believe can be drilled in place. I don't think this holder should be made from plastic. Instead, I plan to make some slight modifications to its sizing dimensions to make the belt more parallel and have a slightly better performance.
