Anet A8 extruder fan hinge with latch
Description
I designed it for Anet a8. Changing filament is very difficult especially for beginner. Because I can't see the hole of nozzle. Furthermore, if the filament is breaking inside of the heat sink, I have to disassemble the fan and heat sink. it is very useful in this case. Don't need disassembling. just open it! ;-) Also there is a latch, so it is not vibration during printing. When you assemble the latch you can adjust the location of latch. In my case, I removed the heat sink. I used PLA only and I usually set the heating block temperature to 190. I designed it can assemble original heat sink if you want. At that time, You have to make a hole for countersunk screw on nozzle block. I think, the latch is very useful in this case. I guess the latch will help to heat sink stick to nozzle block. It has filament guide function, too. hinge2 has a slot to come out the fan power cable. Therefore, at least you have to use two hole which is above and below of the slot. Then the mount can be fixed by fan. You need a M4 x 40mm countersunk screw and M4 nut to assemble hinge1 and hinge2. M4 x 10mm countersunk screw is used for latch.
