Description
Having an Anet A8 you will notice the front and rear Y plates start to bend due to belt tension.
Much cheaper and faster to print than an AM8 frame. Cost is about $10 in threaded rod, nuts and washers. Printable in about 6 or so hours.
With this stronger Y axis made of Threaded rod this is no longer the case.
It also helps eliminate vibrations.
Requires:
- 4x 7 1/4" long pieces of 8mm or 5/16" diameter threaded rod
- 20x Nuts that match the fit of your 7 1/4" long threaded rod
- 20x Washer to put betwent he nuts and printed components.
- 1x M3 screw and nut for the tensioner that can be obtained from your old front/rear frame.
Update: V1.2 Features larger threaded rod holes as some reported them being a bit tight, fixed print orientation and split the corners into 2 seperate files so they cna be printed seperate.
Printing Details
- .2mm Layer height
- 16% Infill
- 1mm shells(Top/Bottom layers and wall)minimum

Hi. I've an Anet A8 (ordered in december 2017). I just printed one corner but it seems that it doesn't fit my stock frame. The rod is not aligned with the "half hole". The real width of the piece is 59,61cm (59,5cm in the model). The distance between the outsides of the "half hole" and the hole for the threaded rod is 34,85cm. Is my piece at the wrong size (and so printed not well calibrated) or my Anet (new Model ?) has not same dimensions as yours ? Thanks
