Before you begin: Make sure you purchase the cable chain from Amazon below as other cable chains may require you to modify the part!
I added a custom Z - Stop mount that will work with this cable chain mod. These are remakes from the original designer Meermeneer. The thumb screw feet and the Anet A8 Plus lower are my design. I added parts for the Regular Anet A8 and the Plus. (No guarantees on fitment for the regular Anet A8 as this was designed for the Plus version.) I printed the z-stop parts with no support. I gave you two different thumb screws for fitment issues.
I created this project since I couldn't find Anet A8 Plus cable chain mounts that attach to a 10X15mm purchased chain. I didn't want to use printed cable chain on my new build. The files attached will allow you to use a 10X15mm cable chain. I put a link to the one I purchased on Amazon below. These mounts will keep the cable chain level.
**These mounts may NOT work with other mods.
The extruder cable chain mount is a remix of the mount from C4SFER.

For extruder cable chain mount use 4 (M4-.70 X 12 screws).
For motor cable chain mount use 3 (M3-.50 X 25).
Z-Stop Upper Screws: Use the same screws as above to mount to the motor. Use a (M3-.50 X 25) or (M3-.50 X 35) for the screw that holds the thumb screw foot.
Z-Stop Lower Screws:
For the Plus: (2 - M4-.70 X 10) with (2 - M4 T-Slot Nuts) to attach to the printer. Use the original z-stop switch screws to hold the switch on.
For the Regular Anet A8: Use the original screws provided for both.
I purchased the screws at Home Depot.
