These brackets are designed for the first series of Anet A8 printers with the goal of reducing X-axis motion particularly when printing in higher reigns of the printer.
To mount the brackets you will need to dismantle the display screen and remove the 4 pillar washers as they will not be needed. Place each bracket in the corners of the frame, remount the display screen and additionally fixate the brackets to the side support plates with M3x0 mm screws. Make sure the brackets are placed flat on the frame plates. It might be necessary to clean up the holes in the brackets to get a clean fit, depending on the quality of the print and the tolerances of your frame.
It seems newer models have been revised on the left side.
If you measure 68-69mm then use file "Anet_A8_Top_Left_Bracket_Leo.stl"
If you measure 72-73mm the use file "Top_Left_Frame_Bracket_Plus3mm_Leo.stl"
When mounting the brackets you must loosen the "screws" first. Mount the brackets as shown and fixate to the frame. Lastly re-tighten the "screws".
Please let me know if you have a problem with the design so I can improve it if necessary or you what new features to the design.
Also please post a picture with comments if you have made one.
Thanks.
