Titan Aero carriage for Anet A8

thingiverse

A fully-printed mount for the Titan Aero extruder is used here. It employs printed bearing bushes, similar to those found in [this design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2577180). If you're printing these for the first time, it's better to err on the side of making them a bit loose rather than too tight. They will loosen up slightly after several hours of printing. The main carriage is printed in one piece and works well. It has several mounting points for cables and other components. I initially planned to attach the part fan opposite the extruder, but with a large blower, there wasn't enough space. I switched back to the stock blower since the bigger one didn't generate much pressure. The fan duct is currently a placeholder. If you need a working design, let me know and I'll send you what I have now. I'm using the stock ANET board, which means you'll need to keep the original stepper motor since the anet board doesn't seem to have enough current to drive a low-profile stepper. You'll also need to reverse both the extruder drive and the X-axis drive. Additionally, you should be able to adjust Z about 20mm lower than with the stock setup. [This design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2718991) may provide some help. Keep in mind that using this setup will result in a loss of 15mm of Y travel, but it's a significant improvement. I'm able to print at least 200x200 with the oversized bushing shown.
