Summary

UPDATE: just realized i had not uploaded the strain relief cover. to anyone who has downloaded i apologize and hope u was able to find the file in the link. ive added it now an also a squished model of the corner with the strain relief as a test so u can make sure its going to fit around properly. this will more than likely be down to how well you have you printer calibrated but ive printed it off printers with zero calibration an its worked so there shouldn't be any issues with this unless your printers is pretty bout out of calibration an if that is the case then this is the least of your worries but more than likely u've already addressed something like that if your looking for something like this.

bed frame for the anet a8 plus with a strain relief integrated into the frame. this is the strain relief i integrated into the frame. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2482038 . i used a m4 nut to hold the frame in place an it helps with the spring moving around but its meant to hold the glass in place but i still use clamps just to be sure. ive only put one corner on as of now which was the one with the strain relief and it fits perfect on mine. i have the wire soldered to the bed but if u still have the connector it should still fit if not let me know where the issue is an i'll try to redesign it to fit. UPDATE: it fits fine, i had to solder the wires to my bed cause the plug broke off due to poor soldering an it actually pulled half of one of the pads off to the thermistor an it worked fine at first but after about a week the rest of the pad pulled loose even with the strain relief an it pretty much being clamped in place it still quit an after contacting anet they replaced the bed for me since it was a brand new printer. now I have a new bed on it with the connector and with the same frame it fit perfect. im also using 25mm long springs with m4x35 screws with the spring guides that lock into each other once compressed enough.

ive always printed my bed frames in pla on my other printers an never experienced any deforming or anything like that from the heat an i assume it will be the same with the a8 plus but if u have issues with warping or deforming u would be better off going with petg or abs. i print petg on my ender 5 with the bed between 70 to 80 an even with these temps the frame around it never gave me issues. but its also designed alot different and actually bolts together around the bed so it kinda clamps on to the bed. i wanted to do something similar to this on the a8 but i ran into the same issue as other printers with this style of frame with the bed moving on the y axis. theres not enough room between the bed an the z gantrys for the bed frame to be thick enough for it to work. im still working on it but as of right now its up to the springs to hold them in place but i always use a nut to make the bolts solid to the bed so it can't wander around on the springs along with spring guides. u can see in the pictures ive included how i have the spring guides below the frame. theres actually a nut inside the little spring guide. its along can be tightened down but to get the bolts to be solid u really need to use a real metal nut or a brass insert in the place of the nut. if anyone would like me to share this file i can, i dont the same with them by finding them on thingiverse an then using tinkercad to make the insert.
