Anet A8/AM8 Compact E3D V6 Bowden Carriage
Little back story..
After almost a year in service, finally my stock hotend died (cartridge heater failed to heat). All this while (after switching from stock direct drive) I was using Anet A8 Bowden All Stock (A8BAS) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3088060).
In the course of that period, I have bought a cloned E3D V6 just lying around waiting as a replacement candidate if anything happen to my A8BAS. Lo and behold! It happened..
The Goal..
I've been searching for E3D V6 carriage that is compact and well centered, parts cooling fan on the front, and everything is contained within carriage width but to no avail. (Please let me know in the comments if I missed that out). All I found is generic E3D V6 mount that placed the hotend on the center of the carriage plate. Normally this will result in the parts cooling fan to move slightly to the right. Hence, it will stick out of the carriage width.
Solution..
I designed my own :p
