hot swap mounting plate

thingiverse

I designed this taking the models of the quick swap mounting system for the Anet A8 found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2750693 and the i3 A8 Badass DiggityDank MK8 Carriage found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2031671, merging both designs to create my own mounting plate. To make it work, I had to reverse engineer the latter model since it couldn't be converted into a solid in 123d design, and I couldn't fix its openings using mesh mixer, so I ended up copying it by hand. Next, I took the blank base plates from the former models and glued them together to create the part you see here now.
