3D model description

The kit includes all needed parts to upgrade from the Anet A8 printer to the prusa Steel chassis. The idea is to make it as compatible as possible with the regular prusa, thus I will recomend to change de carriage and extruder, otherwise you will have to modify the distance between bars by mechanising your anet A8 carriage becouse the distance is different.

Since it took me some time to find, adapt and design all the needed parts, I decided to put them all together in a single kit.

I have ordered the photos so that the location of each part is easily identifiable.

Thanks to Txispas, oloand an tooson for their excellent work.

13/07/2017 UPDATE: added part #090, X belt support adapted from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1666094 to the narrower distance when adapting the anet carriage as you can see in the picture #2..
Removed all parts related to chain.
