About this 3D model

"Easy Filament Access Gate". This is both a useful modification and a very useful method to access filament to change colour - and this can be done during the print either by amended G Code of the simple option to use the "Pause Print! found in the Anet stock board menu.The extruder hotend wires always seemed - so I decided the wires needed support..and also I wanted them to look more tidy. I have removed need for the add on fan covers as separate items and added a right side panel which covers the motor etc, and has a "clip" to hold the extruder wires and at the top a couple of holes to allow a zip tie to be threaded and hold teh wires in place - above it a I made a piece that fits the right top bearing block ( extended the holes because I found some bearing slightly different but mainly to allow it to slide right a little to be directly over the lower clip. The filament access gate - I always found liable to pop open, the arm cannot get much longer ( I tried) but gets to big to actually slot in at the side of the motor - so I have added to the top, a part which can allow a simple rubber band to slip over and it works.
