Anet A6 Hot End Xcar Mod Free 3D print model

This is an Anet Hot End/X car Modification. This Anet super cheap :-) But it needs some improvements. In this case the aim is ABS, PET-G and PLA printing. The Extruder moved to the back at the controller. Connected with an PTFE tube to the new X car/Hot end setup. Note that the blue parts are not original. For this printer it possible to tighten the X and Y timing belt. The parts for the X axis are included. Not for the Y axis because it does not work on an original Anet. If somebody want to have those files let me know.

The Hot end E3D Heat Break dimensions diameter 22.5mm x 26mm is used, but clones with diameters of 25mm also fitfor this printer I made the Heat Break out of aluminum and used the heater and heater block that came with the Anet Printer. There for I did not really used an E3D Hot-End ;-)

The silicone backing mat between the Heater Block and the Heat Break acts as an heat insulator. This way the heater block transfers less heat to the heat break. Also the heater block is out of the air stream of the heat break cooling fan.

For cooling the printed part 2 Snail House Fans are used. One already came with the Anet printer itself. For these fans are 4 different Fan-ducts available. They have four different lengths I needed for my printers. Please see included Screen-Shot included with the photos. The ones I used for this example are “snail house fan duct 28.35mm L.stl & snail house fan duct 28.35mm R.stl”. The four M4 allen key bolts that hold these fans are screwed into the “to small holes”, so they make their own threats.

The Extruder is just a standard direct drive design. The PTFE tube coupler is screwed in a to small hole. This way it taps it own threats. I left the hole to small so you can drill it out to the direct diameter and/or tap the treats you need. I know the lever looks very ugly :-) see photos. But it is a strong and working part and thus good for now ;-)
