Summary

• Direct replacement for the original Anet A8 MK8 extruder mount
• Extra 1 cm on Z height
• 200 grams less than the original mount
• Uses original parts
• You will also need 2 more M3x18 bolts and 4 M3 nuts (2 nuts are for 5015 fan)
• For sensor use another 2 M3x18 bolts with nuts
• You will need to lower Your Z axis endstop
• Version for 38,3 mm distance between X axis rods (~46mm from center to center)
• If you have a problem with inserting the nuts into the mount, you can heat them up with a lighter and they'll fit ok
• The fan duct is larger than the A8 original and is efficient enough imo
• The "teeth" in the fan duct are just supports and should be removed after print
• Use filament type which does not shrink, like PLA, PET, ABS-T. ABS is not recommended
• freeCad file included so You can make Your own mods
