About this model

On the ANET A8, the front and rear places are machined with so huge tolerances that the Y rods are free to float with at least 1/10th mm of play. This is one cause of X woobling, noise and vibrations. This very simple thing intends to lock the Y rods in a correct position pushing them downwards which is their nominal place under gravity. I designed those lockers to make them springy. Just slide them on the rod (take care there are right and left parts), then pull the bottom and clip it under the frame.
