how big is the build volume on that?

2017-02-01 16:23:51 UTC  

the anet is a prusa-style printer, the biggest difference between the prusa and the corexy is the fact that the bed is stationary on the corexy

2017-02-01 16:23:57 UTC  

Yeah

2017-02-01 16:24:29 UTC  

Well the anet is just a carbon copy of the Prusa i3, but the frame is acrylic

2017-02-01 16:24:49 UTC  

I'm attracted to the Anet for a while because of how large the community is for it

2017-02-01 16:24:52 UTC  

yup and it may be tempting to get an aluminium frame

2017-02-01 16:25:45 UTC  

but i think it's better to just either leapfrog the whole community for corexy (which is growing in popularity) or learn everything you want on the anet and eventually upgrade to an original prusa i3

2017-02-01 16:25:57 UTC  

Yeah

2017-02-01 16:26:00 UTC  

Or the mk2

2017-02-01 16:26:11 UTC  

or mk3 or mk4 or whatever it is by then

2017-02-01 16:26:55 UTC  

the multi-stepper extruder head thing for quad filament is a big motivator but it does seem like an incremental step

2017-02-01 16:27:23 UTC  

anyway yeah anet a8 is great

2017-02-01 16:27:31 UTC  

you should just go for it. worth the price.

2017-02-01 16:27:43 UTC  

don't print ABS and you won't worry about heatbed issues

2017-02-01 16:27:54 UTC  

Just would cry at the thought of waiting so long for it to come and then sometihng being broken

2017-02-01 16:27:58 UTC  

don't be an idiot and the board won't catch on fire

2017-02-01 16:28:01 UTC  

Would just replace the heatbed

2017-02-01 16:28:16 UTC  

it only took 2 or 3 weeks and i ordered it just before christmas

2017-02-01 16:29:53 UTC  

the problem isn't the heatbed so much as inadequate cooling and sizing for the amount of current that runs into the heatbed** circuitry

2017-02-01 16:30:20 UTC  

since PLA doesn't require the heatbed to be on, that

2017-02-01 16:30:24 UTC  

is a nonissue

2017-02-01 16:30:25 UTC  

Well

2017-02-01 16:30:33 UTC  

I do want to print ABS at one point

2017-02-01 16:30:40 UTC  

I want to use it for RC parts

2017-02-01 16:30:54 UTC  

I've seen people just put panes of glass on it

2017-02-01 16:30:57 UTC  

gears?

2017-02-01 16:31:09 UTC  

or aesthetic components

2017-02-01 16:31:10 UTC  

Nah, probably quad stuff

2017-02-01 16:31:19 UTC  

Quality, I don't really care tht much about

2017-02-01 16:31:40 UTC  

ok yeah boxen are easyish- i had some bowing on some initial prints but it's a calibration thing

2017-02-01 16:31:52 UTC  

Yeah

2017-02-01 16:31:54 UTC  

i haven't had much luck with gears yet unfortunately

2017-02-01 16:32:15 UTC  

but such is the life of 3d printing

2017-02-01 16:32:19 UTC  

lol

2017-02-01 16:32:21 UTC  

for now

2017-02-01 18:18:12 UTC  

its assembled

2017-02-01 18:18:15 UTC  

but somethings wrong

2017-02-01 18:18:32 UTC  

will continue on weekend

2017-02-01 18:42:54 UTC
