Carriage Backing Plate For Anet A8/A8 Plus

thingiverse

Hello everyone, I'm excited to share this carriage backing plate designed specifically for the Anet A8 with the Voron Geared Extruder. Big shoutout to Russiancatfood for creating an amazing product - his design has been a huge inspiration. This is still a work in progress, but the prototypes have already been printed out of PLA. The final version will be printed with Onyx on a Markforged 3D printer. As this carriage plate is tailored for E3D V6 clone users, I also took the opportunity to print the bowden to direct drive adapter by icase81. Happy printing to all! Update: April 4th, 2020 I've made some modifications to the carriage plate - raised the base to ensure clearance for the extruder and optimized the design for better stability. This should bring the height close to that of the original extruder. Additionally, I've increased clearance for the drive gear. Now, all I'm waiting for are the hobbed gear bolts to arrive so I can fine-tune the distances. Once they're here, I'll take a few more steps: shortening the bed slightly and extending the angled brackets at the bottom for added support.
