Anet A8 X motor smiley decoration

Welcome to my very first design uploads right here on thingiverse! I'm thrilled to share these completely useless yet fantastically cool creations with you all. Yes, you heard that right - they're utterly pointless, but in my opinion, they look absolutely amazing. Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty details. As per my slicer's calculations, the weight on the Z-axis increases by approximately 1.05 grams. That's a significant boost, if I do say so myself! When it comes to designing holes for the X-motor, I've made sure to add an extra 0.4 millimeters to ensure they're not too small. Trust me, after pouring over countless explanations online, I've learned that my printer tends to produce undersized holes. So, to avoid any potential issues, I've taken it upon myself to design all critical holes with a generous +0.4mm buffer. You'll find two versions of this design: v1 is more stable and robust, but it doesn't quite have the same level of visual flair as its counterpart, v2. The latter boasts an impressive "nose" that holds the entire smiley face together. To get a better understanding of how these designs work in action, I recommend taking a look at version 1 while printing version 2 - simply follow this link: https://youtu.be/g5LYq2GkhSM
