Sean's Anet A8 Chimera Mount
This is an OpenSCAD project to create a 3d printable Chimera extruder mount for the Anet A8 3D Printer.
The Anet A8 is a low-cost 3D printer kit from China which clones the Prusa I3, an open source 3D printer. Because of it’s sales volume the kit can commonly be purchased for $180 USD or less.
The Chimera Hotend is a hot-end from E3D which supports the extrusion of two different types of plastic while using the same heatsink. It reduces the overall size of the hotend compared to two separate hotends.
It is easy to customize for different distances between the 8mm horizontal rods. Being open source, it should be possible to modify this file to work for your printer.
This mount is designed using OpenSCAD, free open source 3d CAD software. OpenSCAD is a script-based modeller which makes it possible to alter this project, such as modifying it for other printers or different hotends.
