I already had Starwhooper's chain on the A8 previous to the Titan Aero install so I modified the chain mounts for the new setup. I designed this around one of my remixes, Titan Aero with BLTouch Carriage Mount for ANET A8. I'm sure it will work with the original design as well.

In this design, the chain is offset further away from the X-axis motor plane so you will need to print a motor mount extension and sandwich it between the original chain mount and the motor assembly to accommodate the difference.

The X-axis carriage plate mount needs to have backing spacers to fill the areas where the old Titan Aero Bracket mounting screws were recessed. Otherwise, the new mounting screws will compress the print into those spaces and wreck it. You will need three of these.

Kudos to Starwhooper for the model to base this on!

Used a 0.4mm nozzle, hardened steel. 260c hotend, 110c bed printed at 36mm/sec with 24mm/sec outer perimeters.

Used three 100% dense support interface layers at 0.3mm separation on top of 15% support columns. Somewhat hard to remove from the model but it worked.

No cooling fan was used and the whole model was encased in a waterfall-type ooze/draft shield via Simplify3D. Warping was minimal.
