The Anet A8 Diagonal reinforcement is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by photoberto. After playing around with a measuring dial for the bed leveling, I found that the most unstable movement of my Anet A8 was when I touched the control buttons.

About this model

After playing around with a measuring dial for the bed leveling, I found that the most unstable movement of my Anet A8 was when I touched the control buttons. So I made some reinforcement for it :-) Extra material: 1 meter threaded rod M6 (or 40" 1/4" unc) with washers and nuts. Update: per request added a version for 8 mm threaded rod. Update Jan_2018: per request added a version for 10 mm threaded rod with 6 mm diagonals
