SD card adapter & Filament guide mount for Anet A8

thingiverse

This is a custom design that combines an SD card adapter holder and a filament guide, specifically tailored for the Anet A8 frame. The adapter holder accommodates a full-size SD card adapter connected to a micro SD ribbon cable extension, while the filament guide is a modified version of this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2388379/#files. Initially, I downloaded several different SD card adapter holders and printed them out, but they were not suitable for my specific adapter size. To create a solution that fit perfectly, I decided to design and print my own holder. I also incorporated a filament guide from DerTechniker's remix (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2388379/#files), which I had previously downloaded and liked. Using Sketchup, I divided the filament guide at its mounting point and inserted the SD adapter holder between the guide and frame mount. The original filament guide is visible in the attached picture. The purchased SD card adapter measures approximately 35mm wide by 11.5mm high. To account for potential print imperfections, I designed the holder slightly larger than the adapter itself. This results in a loose fit within the holder, but a few layers of black tape should be sufficient to secure it if needed. I printed this design with its back facing upwards without any necessary support structures. The final product seamlessly fits onto the 8mm-thick Anet A8 frame.
