The file 'Anet A8/AM8/Prusa I3 – MGN X Axis 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 4.2MB.
I am currently trying to design a new X-Axis for my 3D printer. It is designed to be compatible with the AM8 build as that is what my printer is based on.
Here is a video test of the axis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcin1eqA098
Here is a video of it running on my printer: https://youtu.be/QuQ35qA9fI4
You will need:
You can finely adjust the spacing between the leadscrews to perfectly match your printer too, hopefully 410 should be just the right size for most.
Update 29/01/2021:
I ran a little CFD simulation to check the flow of the duct, it seems alright. Not ideal. I have installed the new nozzle and running some tests. It seems good but it is hard to tell if it is better than the high flow nozzle V1.0

Update 25/01/2021:
I was having a little trouble printing this in ABS so I made a second version of the extruder mount with a tab on the Fan Mount that makes it easier to print. The quality is much better with this! With PLA however, I had no issue with the original one.

Update 23/01/2021:
There is a WIP file for a Duct V2.0 with cooling from two sides! I am also looking at reprinting this in ABS, mainly just the Extruder mount due to small deformations.
File: Duct2.0.stl
Update 22/02/2020:
Been putting this off a little too long, did a final test print and some modifications and I think it is ready to go!
Update 05/01/2020:
Added mounting for attaching the belt to the axis, also increased clearance for solid coupling on the lead screws to the axis can get closer to the bed.
