This is simple BMG mount for Anet A8.

1. Build as rigid. No weak connections, BMG is connected almost directly to linear bearings
2. Easy to disconnect from baseplate for service, only two screws
3. BLTouch mount (not necessary) connected directly to extruder for maximum precision
4. Extruder is as flat as possible to reduce wobble
5. Can work with original or smaller version of step motor for extruder
6. Mount holes for other accessories
7. Ready to use cable chain mount
8. Easy front access to printing assembly
9. Parametric, controlled by Python script

Please notice that this is NOT an OpenSCAD project. OpenSCAD is only used to render files in stl format. All parameters are controlled by included Python script. Just run it and it will create all scad files from scratch.

This is work in progress, however it is already working perfectly, giving quality boost for prints compared to other BMG mounts for A8.

This project is tested with Tatara steel frame. It is not known yet if it will be possible to use it inside acrylic one. Please contact me if you managed to fit it into acrylic frame, I can do some changes if necessary.

Fan mount is almost touching Z screw in left most position. This is intendent.

Standard Anet A8 fan duct can be used, or any other designed for this printer.
