About this model

This is a remix of Logan Royer's design. He took Prusa's Y axis design and modified it to fit on the Anet A8 (A6 won't work). It's a brilliant design, and I tweaked some things, so I'll only be uploading what I modified. The belt tensioner and endstop piece can be found in his post: Note that I have a diagonal reinforcement piece in the pictures since I was installing that upgrade next. To further reinforce your frame and compliment the new axis, I strongly recommend printing these: Diagonal Reinforcement: Top Reinforcement: NEMA 17 stepper motor dampener:
