Anet AM8 Electronics Undercarriage 3D print model

cgtrader

This is my undercarriage setup that takes all the electronics and wiring out of sight, beneath the printer in the space between its frame and belly. Note that this was designed specifically for the RatRig frame, so I can't guarantee it will work with any other manufacturer's model. Before making a purchase, be sure to do your own research and understand the compatibility issues involved. The 364mm rails I bought may fit well, but it could also fit on smaller 340mm rails if you use some care, allowing about 10mm of clearance around the Y axis motor. Installation requires significant work, so ensure that your frame's corner brackets are the right ones to accommodate this undercarriage design. It is built with tight tolerances for stability purposes. Old laptop screws were used, making it difficult to identify the actual size. Hammerhead nuts are applied to hold the carriage in place using M5x6 bolts. Removal without taking apart the frame will be feasible. Keep in mind that the undercarriage will only work on MeanWell's LRS-350-12 PSU. Features include: - Mainboard mount for Anet v1.0 or 1.5 - Adjustable voltage buck converter mount - MOSFET mounts for hotend and heatbed (dual setup) - PSUs mounted (specifically the LRS-350-12 from MeanWell) This undercarriage setup also includes cable management rings, routing hole patterns and all parts can be purchased from RatRig here: http://www.ratrig.com/3d-printing-cnc/3d-printer-kits/frame-and-hardware-kits/am8-3d-printer-extrusion-profile-metal-frame-full-kit-for-anet-a8-upgrade-blk.html. A UV-reactive, neon green filament was used - check it out here: https://atomicfilament.com/collections/silky-pla/products/silky-extreme-bright-neon-green-uv-reactive-pla-filament This setup uses a MeanWell PSU (find it on eBay at this link): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mean-Well-LRS-350-12-348W-12V-29A-Single-Output-Switching-Power-Supply/173768587843 Dual MOSFETs for 3D printers were used as seen here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-ANET-A8-MOSFET-Board-Upgrade-3D-Printer-Heated-Bed-Power-Module-i3-Heatbed/223305637201 Upgrading the heated bed was another step.
