3D model description

Based off of LittleMrJ's i3 A8 Badass DiggityDank MK8 Carriage
A Fully Enclosed Extruder with customer Carriage for the Anet A8 Direct Drive Extruder Head.

Includes an embedded cooling nozzle, mounts for the blower and heat-sink fan, holes for ventilation, filament feeding and extruder button.

Also has a slot and mounting holes for the Practical 6 Auto Bed-Level Sensor

Let me know if any dimensions are off, but please
DO NOT PRINT YET!
The mechanism to attach all the faces to each-other is not complete, unless you want to glue them together!

Update 0 -- Connection Mechanism have been updated!

Now Includes a mount for a cable-management chain, and chain bits from LittleMrJ's Carriage Cable Chain, slightly altered to fit the customized carriage.

Update 10/31/2017
Terribly sorry guys, just ran some simulations, and there are conflicts with the cable chain and the filament hole, I need to re-align the entire mechanism.
For now, I do not recommend anyone print this yet.

Update 2 10/31/2017
All fixed!
The chain cable pieces are now fully compatible with LittleMrJ's i3 A8 Badass DiggityDank Carriage Cable Chain, please visit that Thing for the parts!

Update 3 11/08/2017
Added a combined front-left-right-bottom combo, so it can be printed all in one piece!

Update 4 11/09/2017
Overhauled the carriage-bottom attachment mechanism to be a pin system.

Update 5 11/15/2017
Made Top Holes into one large hole, to allow for the extruder feeder more clearance
