Updated Anet A8 Plus. Large and metal / Habr

Hello! I am pleased to present to the attention of readers a review of the updated hit from Anet3D - the Anet A8 Plus printer. It really became noticeably larger and truly metallic. In addition, the manufacturer has done some serious work on the bugs and the printer is now assembled very easily and really prints out of the box, even despite some minor problems.

We are talking about this device:

Under the cut, letters, photos and videos about preparation for work and modest operating experience.

Main technical specifications (from official sources):

Print area 300x300x350mm
Structural aluminum frame 20x20mm and 20x40mm
Double 8mm polished shafts and linear bearings on each axle
X and Y axis drive with belt tensioner
Two Z-axis stepper motors with trapezoidal drive screws
Additional fuses for overheat protection
Removable control panel (display with encoder)
Heated table

Unpacking

The printer begins to pleasantly surprise already at the stage of delivery. Everything is very well packaged in a neat polyethylene foam brick. The size of the box is quite reasonable, despite the fact that the printer is already almost completely assembled.

On top of this brick is the base of the printer with the rails and table installed. Glass for printing has already been thrown on the table and there are stationery clips. I always printed just like that and advise everyone. I just like the mirror better.

At the bottom is the vertical part of the frame with the X and Z axes, as well as all the electronics from the printer.

Printer also includes:

Two
Hex key set
MicroSD memory card 8 GB with USB adapter
Side cutters
Spool holder
PLA Probe (approx. 10m)
Braid for wires
Spare fuses
Air nozzle
Fingerguards
Instruction

Assembly

The vertical axis is set first. To begin with, it is screwed with a corner and a screw at the end of the profile. You can immediately remove the transport ties, fixing straps and tighten the set screws of the Z-axis studs. That's it! This completes the assembly of mechanics!

Frame base made of 20x20mm aluminum structural profile. Guides along the Y axis 20x40mm. There are very few plastic parts and almost all of them are made by casting. Even the auxiliary parts of the extruder are made of thin sheet metal. Both X and Y belts have normal tensioners.

With all this, it's the same, good old Prusa. On belts, ball screws, shafts and linear bearings. Here I must make a small digression. Despite all the disadvantages of this linear movement system, I consider its use in budget machines more than justified. If the shafts are bent or the bearings have deteriorated, they are always very easy to find and change. Also, if the shafts are not parallel, they can always be moved a little and adjusted. If you take a machine on rails or rollers, then this will be a completely different price category.

The power supply is mounted on the right side of the machine and plays the role of an additional scarf that adds rigidity to the structure. Please note that it also has a metal casing, a network cable connector and a toggle switch to turn it on. And all this, of course, is already assembled and connected.

Next, the limit switches for the X and Z axes are installed. Everything is already thought out and molded in plastic. All fasteners are optimally matched. X-axis limit switch seat:

Even the Z-axis limit switch holder is made of metal. It is attached very securely, and it is very easy to move it for calibration.

One of the RAMPS variations from Anet3D is also used as a motherboard. The drivers are soldered, there is an adjustment of the Z-axis current. On the one hand, this is a minus (the fact that the drivers are not removable), on the other hand, in my practice, not a single driver was damaged. There is a fuse on the table and a slot for printing from a memory card. The board is also stitched with some Marlin assembly from the manufacturer. At the end of the article I will give a link to the software for this machine, but even on the stock firmware everything started up confidently for me.

Connecting the wires takes much longer than assembling the mechanics. But everything is signed and you can connect especially without looking at the instructions. You don't need to solder anything. All switching is thought out very competently. Even for limit switches, special cable lugs are made.

By the way, the table heats up from 24V. With the old model, I had a problem that the heater contacts in the connector were heated. Anet A8 Plus has two contacts in the table connector for plus and minus (and the wires themselves are also duplicated), and the contacts themselves are filled with sealant.

I'll add an illustration here with a picture to connect. It just shows the board itself better. In fact, it doesn't even need it. There are signatures on the board, and nameplates on all cables. This generally applies to the entire machine as a whole. Everything is assembled very clearly and intuitively.

As a result, after fully assembling and cleaning the wires into a braid, it looks like this: By the way, it is installed in a very original way on a spear with a magnet and you can remove it, pick it up and control the printer like a large adult CNC machine from the remote control!)

Display with encoder and reset button is in a separate metal box. Having disassembled it, I still found something to complain about in this machine!

Extruder

At first glance, it makes a very good impression. It is not much different from the popular MK2 and it will be easy to find spare parts for it. In fact, the manufacturer made sure that the coolers for cooling the extruder and the model were immediately conveniently installed on the printer. The thermal barrier itself has an additional heatsink installed right in front of the cube - a very elegant solution compared to how it was on the previous version.

Additional plastic guides available. I have tried printing with Flex and have had no problems loading or extruding.

Calibration

With such a large print area, it turned out to be much more difficult than I expected.

At first I had problems with too little current being set on the Z axis. The right engine began to skip steps and the entire calibration immediately floated away. But I figured out this problem very quickly, and then the dancing around the frame began.

Looking ahead, I will say that in the end I was able to calibrate the printer only on a flat piece of chipboard with a piece of fiberglass under my near right foot. And to come to this decision, I spent 8 hours!

The large size of the printer causes more calibration problems. Even with a very small diagonal skew of the frame, this becomes almost impossible. I put it on a flat chipboard panel and tried to align all the mechanics with it. Perhaps I managed to eliminate some large irregularities, but in the end I just experimentally selected under which leg and how thick to put the part. But in the end everything turned out just perfect. I even dragged it from place to place in this form.

Video

Much of what I said and something else new can be seen in the video:

Print

If you try to sum up, I would say that nothing has changed fundamentally. Yes, the structure has become metal, but everything has become larger and heavier.

In other words, there is a clear increase in print volume, but not in quality. It remained quite suitable for printing various structural elements. And there is a nice bonus from the fact that the printer began to print noticeably quieter (probably due to the rubber feet in the first place).

To an inexperienced viewer, it may seem that the test model is printed very poorly. It is made with a 0.
