Light and sturdy carriage for ANET A8 converted to bowden E3D extruder.
You can select of variety clamps with fan mount and round 8mm,12mm, 17mm cubic inductive
...Show more sensors or without a sensor or just a bare clamp for setups with fan(s) attached to E3D hot end directly. It looks awesome if printed of a temperature dependent color changing filament.
check out my other stuff for ANET A8 and enjoy!.
Fitting:
It uses original setup - bolts and nuts to attach X- belt, but positioned slightly higher to make the belt run linearly. It has 6 attachment points for zip ties. The clamp is attached with two M3 bolts and M3 nuts fitted in carriage slots for tight fit.
Print setup:
clamps - print upside down, 50-100% infill 1,2mm walls, no supports
carriage - 50% infill, 1.2mm walls no supports
nozzle - print solid, with supports touching buildplate only
material - preferably ABS, but PLA works fine for carriage too for open setup.

versions:
clamp Bl touch - !prototype! please test and comment
clamps v6h and v6j - prototype for "ANET" blue cubic Z sensor
fan nozzle 5h - optimized high flow nozzle
clamps v6e and v6f - for 17x17mm cubic sender like tronxy or prefered TL-Q5MC1(works great at 5V ~4mm sensing distance). v6e is attached by two M3x25mm bolts, v6f is fixed by a zip tie. calibration X +30mm (right) of the nozzle.
clamp v6d - !prototype! for 12mm inductive sensor, calibration X +30mm (right) of the nozzle
clamp v5b no fan - optimized bare hot end without a bracket for a fan
nozzle v5 - high flow nozzle
clamp v5 - optimized clamp for 8mm inductive sensor, calibration X +30mm (right) of the nozzle
note: Please leave a feedback and proposals in comments.
