Bowden Extruder Chassis

thingiverse

I've recently upgraded my Anet A8 to a full bowden extruder setup, and during the process, I experimented with numerous chassis for the new configuration, but none quite fit the requirements of my machine. Therefore, I created one of my own! It's designed to utilize the E3D all metal hotend and features a bracket for the SN04 Auto Leveling probe as well. A built-in end-stop for an X-Axis chain is also integrated into the chassis, along with a custom attachment part to fit a 40mm cooling fan for the hotend. The last custom component is a semi-circle elongated fan duct that securely attaches to the frame using two screws and doesn't overlap with the bed leveling sensor like other mounts I tested. My Skynet settings are as follows: Start by utilizing the config file "A8-5buttonkeypad-autolevel-stock anet sensor" and modify these settings for the Auto Leveling probe position. Define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER as -20 Define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER as 10 Define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER as -1 Define X_MAX_POS as 240 Define X_MIN_POS as -20 Define Y_MAX_POS as 220 Define Y_MIN_POS as -10 Define Z_MAX_POS as 240 Define Z_MIN_POS as 0 Define LEFT_PROBE_BED_POSITION as 20 Define RIGHT_PROBE_BED_POSITION as 210 Define BACK_PROBE_BED_POSITION as 220 Define FRONT_PROBE_BED_POSITION as 30 This is a custom design for my Anet A8, so it should work for you as well if you have a similar machine. However, like I learned while creating this mount, nothing is guaranteed! Therefore, experiment with it and I hope you'll find it enjoyable.
