Anet A8 Front Plate and BLTouch Mount by marcbea

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

After moving my part cooling fan to the rear of the x carriage I now found myself with all kinds of room on the front for my bltouch and anything else I want.
Right out of the gate I wanted to make a mount for my BLTouch and get that on the printer as soon as possible. This front plate will have 2 slider rails to accommodate a front bottom panel for fan and light switches and a place to hold a 40mm fan above the extruder motor.
