Multifunction Bed Carriage for Anet AM8/A8 Plus

thingiverse

This is a universal Y-carriage, designed to fit the Anet AM8 and A8 plus. I intended it to be machined from aluminium (I use this myself). The STL has a thickness of 4mm, but I use 3mm aluminium. This bed supports a variety of linear systems, with holes for SBR12, MGN12 (H & C), and LM8UU carriage blocks. However, I have only personally tested with the SBR12 blocks, as this is what I use. The holes for the other carriages should line up fine, according to the dimensions I found online. The carriage also supports a variety of heated bed sizes: 220mm x 220mm (original A8 size), 300mm x 300mm (A8 Plus size) and 310mm x 310mm (CR10 size and hole spacings). I have included the .STP and .F3D files along with the .STL to enable you to manufacture as you see fit, as well as modify as needed. Feel free to adapt and post remixes. EDIT (11th May 2021) - Added a V2. Same spacings for the carriages, but with a range of holes for the y-axis belt, enabling adjustment of the belt attachment.
