Triforce X Axis wheel for Anet or similar printer (Nema 17 5mm Shaft)

thingiverse

This is an X wheel for an Anet A8 or similar printer. It fits on the 5mm shaft of the Nema 17 motor that drives the X axis. Back story... I gave a printer kit I got off Ebay to a neighbor kid, who is friends with my youngest son.. He was very excited and built it to the best of his abilities.. I examined the printer and found a few flaws in the build and a few design failures in the printer (this was a $50 kit made of really cheap plywood and an almost exact clone of an Anet A8 except for the frame material) It had a poorly designed bed carrier that would hit the Y motor before hitting the end stop and the frame was very wobbly, so I printed some stiffeners and designed various other parts to allow it to work. I knew the kid is a Zelda fan so I designed and printed this Triforce X axis wheel decoration for it..
