improved linear chain to Extruder on Anet A8

prusaprinters

<p>The original doesn't fit on my Anet A8. So I remix my own one.</p> <p>extruder end:</p> <p>• add hole for extruder motor wire</p> <p>• extruder could now opened to replace filament</p> <p>• remove upper spacer</p> <p>• reduce elements</p> <p>• enlarge size deep to reduce collusion from filament and change</p> <p>change pieces:</p> <p>• remove upper spacer</p> <p>• reduce elements</p> <p>• optimize holes for cable tie (the cable tie replace the upper spacer)</p> <p>• create a long and a mix size chain piece</p> <p>z-motor end:</p> <p>• make is 2cm smaller (otherwise collusion with z-axe may happen end)</p> <p>• remove upper spacer</p> <p>• reduce elements</p> <p>• enlarge size deep to reduce collusion from filament and change</p> <p>• !!!wire will get more space in next version!!!</p> <p>I use 22 of the short ones and one of the mid one. If you use the long one, you can reduce the count of the small pieces.</p> <p>You can see it live here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MAc2GZp70M">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MAc2GZp70M</a></p> <p>Please note the 4 different ways to "close" the upper space of the pieces.</p> <ol> <li>totally closed, zip tie needs to destroy if you want remove it.</li> <li>zip tie is fixed, but could open if you want add/remove a line.</li> <li>zip tie is only jammed and could open/remove so often you want.</li> <li>zip tie can easy remove, but please use it only to test.</li> </ol> <p>Thank you to Klownius (<a href="/make:287726">http://www.thingiverse.com/make:287726</a>), he offer me the idea to use the zip ties on a less wasting way.
