<b>IMPORTANT</b>

...显示更多 19:30 GMT+2 than you have WRONG files for the top axis. It has since been fixed but beware
<b>What is it exactly?</b>
This is a drop in kit to upgrade your entire axis to the same axis as on the Prusa i3 MK2 from Josef Prusa. Since the spacing between the steel rods and the Z-spindle is diffrent (a bit closer together)
<b>Optional</b>
I have included the option to have integrated Z-spindle anti wobble bearings (Regular 608zz bearings also seen in skateboards). But there is also a version that is made to use it without that support. You may decide yourself which to use
<b>Dimensions</b>
The modeled bearing fit is 22.3mm. this made a perfect fir for my bearings but your results may vary. Also the hole for the steel rod is modeled at 8.1mm because that made it fit perfectly on my A8.
This kit will drop straight into your Anet A8 and will make it accept the X-axis parts of the Prusa i3 MK2 and you win't have to destroy your original parts if you want to revert the process (like I did before I designed this a year after I have done the upgrade)
The parts for the x-axis etc can be found here: https://www.prusa3d.com/downloads/others/prusai3_mk2_stl.zip
<b>WARNING!!!</b>
You still need to cut your frame a bit to make a relief for the X-axis motor. It now sits closer to the center of your printer and therefore interferes with the frame. It is a minor cut and it does not impact on the rigidity at all.
