ANET A8 exoskeleton
Description
It'S An Understatement To Say That Anet A8'S Acrylic Frame Is Weak... Here Is A Carbon "Exoskeleton" To Add An Incredible Stiffness To Your Printer And Thus Reduce Z-Wooble Caused By X Axis Shaking The Frame. I Am An Adept Of Kiss Concept (Keep It Smart And Simple), You Will Need Only One Hour Of Printing To Finish The Exoskeleton Which Means Very Very Few Filament. The Stiffness Is Brought By 2 Pieces Of 6Mm Carbon Rods Or Carbon Tubes (Go And Search On Ebay Or In Your Local Kite Shop, You'Ll Get Them For Less Than $10). If You Don'T Get Carbon Rods, Just Use Metal Rods (Steel Or Even Aluminium) Thy Will Do The Job But In This Case You Need To Add The Middle Junction Pieces. I Join A Not So Good Video Explaining How To Assemble It (Sorry For The Out Of Focus Parts) Https://Youtu.Be/Jiec6Jph0Pi I Made It Even Stiffer Just By Adding A Jonction Piece Where The Rod Crosses The Vertical Plate. It Worths To Precise That Those Stiffeners Do Not Interfere With The Print Area. The Initial Volume Of 220X220X240 Mm3 Is Fully Preserved. Edit : You Get Also In A Separate Zip File All The Stl To Use With 5Mm Rods I Hope You Like, Any Comment Welcome ;-)
