E3D Chimera+ mount for Anet A8
Description
A simple but effective E3D Chimera+ (air-cooled) mount for the Anet A8 and printers with a similar X axis. The Anet A8 5015 blower fan mounts on the side, and a fan duct is included that encircles both hotends. A BLTouch can be mounted on the other side. If you mount the BLTouch through the hole and without springs, the `NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET` setting in Marlin 2 should be `{ -54, 0, -3 }`, give or take a bit for the Z-component. I'd strongly advise against using PLA for this, because of its low glass transition temperature. I have used PETG, which seems to work well enough, but ABS, ASA, PC or POM would all be better choices, if you can print them without warping. The extra stiffness offered by carbon-fibre PETG or Nylon composites may also be useful to prevent sagging over time. See below for installation instructions.
