Bowden Carriage Anet A8

I really enjoyed Tech2C's innovative nozzle and fan mounting method, but the carriage itself was designed for a Prusa with zip-tied bearings - not exactly what I had in mind. So, I decided to redesign the whole thing from scratch, taking into account the M3 screws and nuts that come standard with the Anet (assuming you've got some spare 19mm long ones lying around). The back of this design is carefully crafted to match the original plate carriage perfectly, but instead of those tapped holes for the x belt clips, I added spaces for nuts. This way, you can still use the same x belt tensioner, even though I'm having trouble finding it on Thingiverse anymore. I've also managed to mount the extruder motor directly to my workstation using simple wood screws and the original carriage - a much neater setup overall.
