About this model

There are several rear frame braces for the Anet A8 3d printer. However all put stress on the 2 screws holding the stepper motor firewall which in my opinion isn't the best approach. The optimal setup would be to brace the stepper motor itself but I didn't like the idea because the heat from the stepper motor would not dissipate as well. I therefore decided to do the next best thing by bracing the firewall which supports the stepper motor. The frame brace is designed so that you only need to loosen the 2 rear nuts on the middle frame support and slide it underneath. Then re-tighten the 2 nuts. See pictures for more details.
