TL Smoother Holder - Anet A8

thingiverse

I've reimagined the design by daanO to make the TL Smoother holder more compatible with the Anet A8. Additionally, I've added ventilation holes in the back for cooling the circuits since they tend to heat up. In the future, I'll install small heatsinks on top of the circuits. As you can see, I've utilized a single circuit for each motor, resulting in five circuits in total. I've sourced the circuits from [https://www.banggood.com/it/TL-Smoother-Addon-Module-With-Dupont-Line-For-3D-Printer-Stepper-Motor-p-1222339.html?p=9P2408786685201409UZ] or you can purchase five at once as I did from BIGTREETECH [https://www.banggood.com/it/5PCS-TL-Smoother-Addon-Module-With-Dupont-Line-For-3D-Printer-Stepper-Motor-p-1234636.html?p=9P2408786685201409UZ]. As I mentioned earlier, in the future, I'll add heatsinks [https://www.banggood.com/it/5Pcs-20x20x15mm-DIY-CPU-IC-Chip-Heat-Sink-Extruded-Cooler-Aluminum-Heatsink-p-1209169.html?p=9P2408786685201409UZ] to ensure sufficient cooling. MKS and BIGTREETECH Smoothers have the same dimensions. Using TL-Smoother will make motors run better, smoothly, quieter, and print quality improves slightly. I printed it in PLA. The case attaches to the printer's lateral acrylic frame on the inside using a stock M3 screw and nut without affecting bed or extruder movements. Cables are long enough for all connections.
