Description

This is the build log and links to my Anet A8 to AM8 build. I listed everything in the order that it was printed or purchased - roughly... I did not include all of the spares, filaments, hardware, connectors/electrical, or miscellaneous items that I bought along the way. I purchased my Anet a8 on Feb. 3rd from Bommerts mostly stock with MOSFET upgrades, vertex print mat, a power supply cover/switch, and most of the protective paper on the frame (I list the last item because removing it was an annoyance to me). [History / Status] Apr.10.2018 I am still printing with the Anet a8 and building the framework for the AM8. Apr.12.2018 Assembled the entire AM8 frame, remixed the hotend plate again to clean up a screw hole issue, I also included a blank one and one customized with my shop logo. Remixed E3D logo with the E3DV6 holder from the modular kit. Apr.15.2018 Completed the AM8 build, ran first test prints.Worked great immediately, no issues. I printed the silver test block without any configuration changes, the blue after some minor tweaking in Cura. [Remixes] I will include the remixed files I used in case anyone else builds a similar setup. 1) Modular backplate remixed with the cable chain mount. 2) Backplate remix, remixed again with my logo. 3) V6 mount remixed with E3D logo (don't use - the gears cover some of the holes. I need to clean up) [Purchased Upgrades] One piece heatbed support plate - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Y-Carriage-Anodized-Aluminum-Plate-Upgrade-for-Anet-A8-A6-3D-Printers/222899828737 Clone/HE3D Titan - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079ZPDVZR Clone/Wangdd22 e3D v6 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XBXDJY3 Gen e3D Titan - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5Z3TRA Gen e3D v6 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAK9L6Q 2.0m of 2.0mm/4.0mm PTFE bowden tube - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CUPV9KC Rion Tech blower 50x50x15 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NJFM4Y Sunhokey 7x7mm Cable chain - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GQ1HLG Uxcell M3 knurled tumb nuts - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HSTVJZ0 Noctua a-Series fans 40mm (x3) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NQLT0M Ketotek AC Power meter - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734XT87V DROK DC Power meter - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017FSED9I Newstyle 12v 30a Power supply - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAC9MO6 Wingoneer T8 Anti-backlash spring - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077XCC994 6mm GT2 Belt - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E91K4N8 MicroSD card extension - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D9J8KQE Winsinn levelling spring/brass nut - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0761TLRNY Huahuiyuan Fused inlet power socket - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074LFCC2H BIQU MOSFETs - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07478M473 Keep On Printing 8x8 build surface - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JSDHL2 MEIQI Auto levelling sensor - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076LHGKHP GT2 16 tooth pulleys - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQH2Y4C Igus Drylin bushings/bearings - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076NWK2NK [Printed Upgrades - Anet a8] Power Supply cover - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2000523 Dual MOSFET mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2086107 MicroSD card extension mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2389960 Original upgraded fan duct - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1954001 Honeycomb display cover - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2701255 Final upgraded fan duct - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2555206 Pliers holder - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:65788 Extruder fan swivel & switch for lighting - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2061767 X-Belt holder - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799729 Mounts for 7x7 cable chain/towline - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2296364 Z-Rod anti-wobble - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2490411 z-Screw anti-wobble - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2192303 Anet a8 Power Panel case - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2289073 Mainboard case with door - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2218266 Y-Belt tensioner - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1959208 [Printed Upgrades - Extruder] Modular v6 - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2193695 Back plate remixed with the right side of the cable chain mount (included) Front holder / fan mount remixed with E3D logo (included) Front holder / fan mount v6 40mm fan mount Dual 40mm front fans Stock Anet level sensor Belt holder Bowden Clips - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2554082 Titan Extruder mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2253855 E3D Logo - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:964797 [Printed Upgrades - AM8] AM8 Gantry alignment jig - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2464467 AM8 Guide Rod alignment jig - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2809956 MicroSD card extension housing - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2700422 20x40 Extrusion Endcap - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2397622 20mm Extrusion bumper - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2764155 20mm Extrusion Snap-in cable clip - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1561292 Bowden mount bracket - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2538154 Linear rail slot covers - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:832077 LCD case with tensioner notch - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2495827 LCD trim bezel - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2840329 Extrusion wire guide - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:187500 Dual Mosfet mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799545
