Bowden Extruder Chassis

I've recently upgraded my Anet A8 to a full bowden extruder setup. During this process I tried out a lot of chassis for the new configuration, but nothing quite fit the needs of my machine. So I made one of my own!

It's designed to use the E3D all metal hotend and contains a bracket for the SN04 Auto Leveling probe as well. A built in end-stop for an X-Axis chain is also designed into the chassis and a custom attachment part to fit a 40mm cooling fan for the hotend.

The last custom component is a semi-circle elongated fan duct that securely attaches to the frame with two screws and doesn't overlap with the bed leveling sensor like other mounts I tried out.

My Skynet settings are...

Start by using the config file "A8- 5buttonkeypad- autolevel- stock anet sensor"
and change these settings for the Auto Leveling probe position.
