Y belt attachment for Anet A8-B printer with better belt fit - no glue required

thingiverse

This is a remake of the Y belt attachment by frol with an improved belt fit. The original design by frol was very well done, but I lost the belt during printing the first time out. After that, I used glue for a second attempt, but after several prints, I lost the belt again. This is why I remade it. Unlike the original design, I shrunk down the dimensions of the belt holder. With this remake, you'll never lose the belt, even without using glue. Simply press the belt into the rabbet with a flat screwdriver and you're done. The Y belt attachment is designed specifically for the Anet A8-B printer (the one with an aluminum 3-part heat bed stand and 12 x 20 mm screw hole distance). Choose the STL that best fits your printer's heated bed stand configuration. If the central crossbar of the heat bed stand is mounted on top, you'll need the 10 mm part. If it's mounted on the bottom, choose the 4 mm part. For the 10mm base part: You will need two M4x20mm round head screws and two M4x6mm flat head screws. For the 4mm base part: You will need two M4x14mm screws (saved from the original attachment) and two M4x6mm flat head screws. PS: I also reduced the outside dimensions, so you can use it with the rear frame brace by Leo_N without running into trouble with the y endstop.
