Anet A8 z-axis parallel levling support clip

thingiverse

This bracket is designed to make easy z-level adjustments on the Anet A8 (or any other printer with 8mm guiding rails). A 70mm length should be the right height to place it under the y-z level joints after doing an auto home. Then, you can manually lower the joints until the clip is firmly in place between the frame and the joint (see picture). I recommend using two clips so you can adjust both sides at once. Addition: A holder for the clips has been designed to fit on the Anet A8 frame left or right of the display. This keeps your clips organized and attached to the frame instead of being scattered everywhere. I chose a 2-piece design for easy printing. FreeCAD models are included if you need different lengths or want to adjust the holder for other frames. If you're not familiar with CAD, you can use the 100mm model (Anet_A8_Z-level_adjustment_clip_100mm.stl) and scale it in the slicer. For example, scaling a 65% z-model will result in a 65mm long clip.
