!!! Obsolete !!! Prusa i3 Y-Carriage Plate Upgrade for Anet A8

thingiverse

I strongly advise against using this item due to its bearing mounts, which hinder the smooth movement of the bed support. Instead, consider using this improved alternative: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2733436 !!! Obsolete!!! I adapted the Prusa i3 Aluminium Heated Bed Support (Y carriage Plate) for 3 Bearings on my Anet A8 by redesigning the Prusa i3 bearing mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:710913) and Y-belt attachment (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:587659) to fit my printer's specifications. You will also need some M3 nuts and bolts for this upgrade. Note: After making these changes, the bed support will be 10 mm higher, reducing the printing volume height by 10 mm. Ensure you can adjust the Z end stop accordingly, as I did with my upgraded Z Endstop (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1776429). To assemble the bearing mount, do not force the nut into its slot; instead, use a long bolt to screw it in place. I purchased the Y carriage Plate from http://tehnologika.net/Prusa-i3-Aluminium-Y-carriage-Plate-6mm-Reprap/. This plate is incredibly strong and has eliminated my issues with bending.
