Anet N4 - Linear Rail Adapter

thingiverse

I designed this adapter to replace the cylindrical rails with MLG12 200mm linear rails, boosting print quality significantly. In my case, I drilled holes into the column, but you can use epoxy or cyanoacrylate to bond it securely. I've included a "gluing jig" to support the column and align the rails properly on a flat surface. The rails should be spaced 15mm away from the top if measuring with the top plate included, or 7mm without it. It's crucial that the rails are aligned flush with the front of the printer; check the images for reference. If you're experiencing z-wobble, investigate the following potential causes: - The lead screw might be slightly bent. Upon disassembling the printer, address this issue. - Remove the pin-lock and bearing to inspect the wobbling. Control the printer by moving the head up and down. Optimal print settings for this adapter are as follows: Walls: 6+ Infill space: 2mm Infill line width: 0.45mm Bottom/Top layers: 8 To achieve optimal results, print vertically with a skirt around the object to enhance adhesion. This vertical printing method yields stronger and more rigid parts. Consider tipping or donating if this adapter saves you time and headaches.
