What
So another day another 3d printer
this time its the anet a8 from el cheapo land gearbest
below you will find the profile settings for cura 2.6.2
Needed upgrades
- New PSU (the one that came with is a fire hazard)
- Mosfet (board of the printer cant handle the amps directly)
- putting spades on the cables from the psu and heatbed
- replace heatbed wire for thicker ones (the cables from a eurostekker are suffecient)
- solder the wires directly on the headbed (connector is a fun fire hazard)
Printed upgrades
