Improved Customizeable Anet A8 E3D v6 E3Dv6 Carriage with 40mm Fan Mount

thingiverse

This is a remix of the popular E3Dv6 Mount for the Anet A8 from TNS, offering improved functionality and user experience. I made several adjustments to fix issues present in the original design. Firstly, I addressed the problem of screws without nuts by incorporating hexagonal holes that allow for easy nut installation. The cap is now securely attached using 1cm long nuts. Additionally, I modified the bearing holder attachment hole to increase clearance from 0mm to 4mm, ensuring a snug fit with axles and minimizing sliding resistance. This allows for effortless adjustments during assembly. The original design's limitation of using the stock 40mm fan for cooling has also been overcome. By attaching the fan mount directly to the cap holding the extruder, which is securely screwed to the backplate, I achieved a tighter and more efficient cooling system. The fan now blocks only half of the radiator, allowing for optimal airflow. I'm thrilled with the outcome of these improvements and believe they significantly enhance the overall performance of the E3Dv6 Mount. I've retained all customization options from the original design, which I've tested extensively to ensure compatibility with my modifications. If you encounter any issues or interference with your setup, please don't hesitate to comment, and I'll work towards resolving it.
