18mm auto level sensor support for Anet A8 right side by lukeskymuh

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A stiff and stable sensor supoort for the Aner A8 and a LJ18A3-8-Z/BX or any other 18mm diameter sensor.
It is located on the right side to enable better acess to the extruder and placed so that a colision with the heat bed cable is avoided. The disadvantage is that it is located further away from the sensor than those located at the fan.
