!!! I do not recommend this thing anymore, because of bearing mounts, which make movement of the bed support not smooth. Use this improved thing instead: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2733436 !!! Obsolete I adapted Prusa i3 Aluminium Heated Bed Support (Y carriage Plate) for 3 Bearings for Anet A8. To do this I redesigned the Prusa i3 bearing mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:710913) and Y-belt attachment (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:587659) to fit for Anet A8. You will also need some M3 nuts and bolts. Note: after this upgrade the bed support will be 10 mm higher and as a result the printing volume height will be 10 mm lower. Make sure you can raise or lower the Z end stop for about 10 mm depending of its position. I have an upgraded Z Endstop (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1776429) and I had to redesign it to make it 10 mm longer, as you can see on one of the images (this file you can find in the list of things). Do not try to force the nut into the slot of the bearing mount. Instead, use a long bolt to screw it inside. Y carriage Plate I bought here:http://tehnologika.net/Prusa-i3-Aluminium-Y-carriage-Plate-6mm-Reprap/ This plate is very strong and now I have no more problems with bending.
