Anet A8 - Z Axis Switch, Extruder & Retraction
Hi There!
In this Video, you'll get informed about my recent problems with my Anet A8 3D-printer as well as how I solved them.
Strictly speaking, problems regarding the Z-Axis switch, the extruder and nozzle as well as the retraction settings in Cura.
Maybe you are just interested in cheaper 3D-Printers, or unsure whether to buy the A8 or similar printers/knockoffs, this Video could help you.
Furthermore, this video could provide the crucial fix for same/similar issues you might have.
My goal is to upgrade this printer both mechanically as well as electrically to make it great. I'll keep you updated with future videos. Check out my 3D-printing playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
Because the Anet A8 is a cheap printer, there are many smaller or bigger issues. Therefore, I only recommend this printer to people who are at least as interested in the printer itself than just in printing with it.
I ordered the printer from: https://www.3dprintersbay.com/
If you have any questions, or feedback on how I can improve, please do not hesitate of leaving them in the comments-section below.
Enjoy the video!
