Anet E12; quick lock for the SIQUK MK8 Extruder upgrade

thingiverse

After upgrading to the SIQUK MK8 Extruder, I encountered a faulty extruder cam that wouldn't work after the upgrade. To fix this issue, I designed a new cam that slides onto the arm tightly and locks open until released. This design should be compatible with metal extruder upgrades. If you're using a similar setup, this might be exactly what you need.
