The acrylic frame of the Anet has a lot of play (freedom of movement) on the sliding rods for all axis. Not dealing with this play makes it worse during use. When my print quality started to degrade, I made some quick and dirty tie wrap fixations using the nearby screws already present (picture 3). That worked fine for the last few weeks and gave me the idea for these simple hooks.
To fixate all 6 sliding rods you need 12 hooks. Luckily they all have exactly the same design, make and mount. And come in just two different sizes (picture 2). The ten short ones are mounted on the opposite of the Anet rod holders (pictures 5-8). And the two long ones are mounted with one of the X-axis motor mounting screws (picture 1). I made mine with ABS and 1 mm shorter than the distance between the screw and the rod. That gives this simple design the right flexibility and pull on the rod. If you want to make them with a less flexible filament I guess you need to make the hooks half a mm longer and m
