My Engineering Design head tells me it looks like a nice Printer Andrew...All metal parts where it matters unlike a Prusa..lol...I used to design Laser Cutters before I retired...I might even be tempted after I see it print...🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
how do you like it Sir Andrew I had the reel holder on top took it off because on large prints it shook a lot and made one that holds multiple reels its nice if you want to switch out reels on the fly hope all is well with you and your family Take Care
I'm 1st Again? LOL Ohhh Wow You Gave Up A Perfectly Good Plsne Making Box For A Possum??? LOL Dang I Can't Even Affort One 3-D Printer & Now You Have Three, That's Just An Injustice... LOL Thanks Mate

Now I am sad that I bought 100€ cheapy on eBay with lots of missing parts, a seller is no longer a member and now all stores are closed so I am unable to DIY finish build.
Possums are tough. A few years ago,I noticed one that had half its face hanging off after a fight I presume. I couldn't catch him but could watch him sulking in his nest which was in my roller door. Apart from a nice scar, he's fine
i have just received my printer too, but i'm not able to make it work properly ç_ç i can just print what's already inside the sd card. Ultimaker cura doesn't work properly for me.
Try OctoPrint Andrew. It’s worth it’s weight in gold. No more SD card and I can watch my prints from the living room. Picked up a bad first layers on a 7 hour print with a glance at my Mac. Can help you set it up if you want. Just needs a Raspberry Pi. This video from Teaching Tech explains it - ua-cam.com/video/SvZjNSLXAJc/v-deo.html
The Anet A8 came out when I was shopping for a 3D printer. It didn't fare very well in reviews... as a result, I am a contented Ender 3 owner. I have to admit however, this is a really nice looking printer! It will be interesting to see the print results. One thing I pondered on in your review, was the belt tension; what you have there is similar to the tensions I started with on my Ender 3. After watching one of Chuck Hellebuyck's videos (his channel is called "Chep", link below) I cranked up the belt tension. This simple act gave me the best improvement in print quality of anything I have tried. I guess this would accellerate belt wear, but they do not cost too much... swings and roundabouts I guess. Food for thought? Thanks for a useful video, as always. Chuck's belt tension video: ua-cam.com/video/_m9TTzEh5xM/v-deo.html
Looks like a well designed printer. I know nothing of 3D printing, but will follow your lead. Thanks for posting!
compare to ender 3 , which one is better ?
Give me a few weeks and I'll have a better idea. Better built and easier assembly is all I can say now.
@@AndrewNewton love you master, i have ender 3 pro but itlook very similar to anet

Thanks for this video Adrew.
And enough foam packaging to scratch build another box plane, Brilliant.

I did that with the Ender 3 too

Have they tried 3-D printing on the Space Station? Is micro-gravity a good thing, a bad thing, or just a thing?
Hmm, questions for NASA
👍

Ours didn't survive unfortunately, but the young one might be big enough to live on.

Cura doesn't work well to drive the printer directly apparently, but it's best for slicing. Have to use Reptier if you want to connect via USB

If it's Wifi controlled it won't work for me. No reception down in the shed.
