Customized Bowden Extruder Mount With 1/8'' BSPT Thread

thingiverse

Human: I've made the decision to heavily modify the original Customizable Bowden Extruder Mount for ANET A8 & Others because the thread was incompatible with the E3D pushfits that use 1/8'' BSPT thread instead of standard M threads. So, I removed the thread from the Motorbase for 1/8" BSPT push fitting, Anet A8 and merged it with the original bowden mount. Full list of changes:\r\n\r\n* The mount has been mirrored so it can be mounted on the left side of the frame.\r\n* The thread is designed to be a 1/8'' BSPT thread.\r\n* Customized for 1.75 mm filament using the original Anet A8 Nema17 motor and the E3D hobbed gear.\r\n* The mount can now be printed sideways as in the STL, which makes for a better thread and holes for the filament. Use plenty of supports though.\r\n\r\nSince there was no mention of the screw that goes into the extruder, I found that the longest Allen screw that comes with the Anet A8 works best if you use a nut and washer on top. See the image for a better view. There's no need to overtighten it, as the original E3D hobbed gear is very sharp.\r\n\r\nThe rest of the assembly instructions can be found on the original thing, which are the same as for this one.\r\n\r\nI've also included the Blender files in case you want to edit it further.
