- Whether you've just installed a bootloader on your Anet A8, or you simply want to reinstall the original factory firmware, this video will get you going in the right direction. But can you install firmware on a 3D printer from a Mac? Yes, of course you can. Let me show you how.
Huge thanks to Mark Corliss (Corliss Media 2.0) for generously covering the cost of the Anet A8 used in this episode. We'll be using it in a series of episodes where we install the Klipper firmware, but for now, we need to have SOME kind of firmware on board, and so factory firmware it is!

Bryan, your video was clear and easy to understand. As a total computer noob I had no trouble at all (except when downloading the wrong version of Arduino...it only seems to work with the specific version mentioned in video). This saved my printer when all else failed. Thank you so much for all your help and all the videos you make :)
Wow, yet another amazing video! I have not had access to the original firmware, ever! And I get to learn all this on a MAC ! Keep up the good work!
Hi Tekkie Dad! Given that it's being hosted on Dropbox, I suspect it's something that a person got from Anet support, and then posted to make it easier for others to get. Just for fun I wrote an AppleScript to significantly ease the process of re-flashing the firmware, but the code makes too many assumptions about its environment for me to be comfortable releasing it.
As a personal project I may write a GUI utility that acts as a wrapper around the avrdude utility for Mac folks, specifically for doing stuff like this. No guarantees on whether that will ever see the light of day, though.
@@BV3D Hi Bryan,did you ever manage to complete this GUI ? grtz,Pascal
I am very happy to have the opportunity to find your tube. Thank you very much. You helped me a lot.
Thank you so much this was a lifesaver, I was seriously considering throwing out my anet A8 plus, but you saved the day
Noice, gettin nerdy wit it. As always, thanks for sharing Bryan! 🤓🤓
Haha! When I originally wrote the script, I was using “geeky” but for some reason that wasn’t rolling off the tongue quite as easily as “nerdy”. 🤓
Earlier today = followed your install marlin on A8 tutorial...worked out great - now a semi expert " I ref lashed the same board with the A8 Auto Level firmware - due to typos and not leaving a couple of spaces... it was three attempts - but its now an Anet AL board :) Bryan I have trued following quite a few of these re flash tutorials - but yours are so easy to follow even an idiot like me can cope...Thanks again
Thank you, Quad Copter! I'm glad these videos were helpful! 😀
Would be helpful to include info on how to do it from a Windows machine as well.
Thank you. Needed this video badly. :)
Hi, Infinite Dimensions, You are very welcome! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Hey Bryan! Great video, nice series!
Thanks! There are a few more in store for the A8. I still have a few mods I want to cover for the Monoprice Maker Select Plus, too.
@@BV3D Do it up! I've got a Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus, Maybe a colab?!
whoa! I mean, WHOA! Great Work, Bryan!!!!!
Thanks! 😊
Nicely done Brian
Thank you, David! Much appreciated! 😃
Thank you... Excellent tutorial!!!
Thanks a lot man...super easy job... :)
This video has helped me so many times lol
Great tuto! Thanks!
Great Video. I don’t have a cape to be Super Nerdy, but I was nerdy from my secret underground lair on a remote island... guess I’m Villain Nerdy...
Hi Mike! Thanks! It's OK if you don't have a cape. You can continue being Villanously Nerdy from your secret island base! 🏝
Thank you!
Does this work on the 1.7 board? Great video
Excellent, thank you...
Hey Bryan, I'll be sure to wear my cape next time. Cheers, JAYTEE
Look! Up in the sky! It's a nerd! It's a plane! No, it's a nerd. Super Nerd! 😂
@@BV3D 👍
@@BV3D SN to the rescue
Bryan could you also include your configuration and configuration_adv.h file. I can update my Anet3D V1.5 controller board for a VERY home make 3D printer. But the configuration files I seem to have a problem on OR it is that end-stop problem and I have to touch up the solder on the board. (The end stops are not working on any axis)
Thanks
Richard
Brian, thanks for a great tutorial and all your help and guidence with my issues! I today I flashed the board with marlin. Then set out to flash with the Anet auto level... I could not get around this - "No such file or directory...."avrdude: error reading system wide configuration file "/Users/jenkins/jenkins/workspace/avrdude-staging/label/mac-mini/objdir/etc/avrdude.conf" To day i downloaded and moved over files from my iMac to a mac Mini some confusion coz this...ls -1 /dev/tty.* brought up ( to my thinking) two usb options! Anyway the end result was a board flashed with teh A8 AL firmware - so all is well and learned a lot about this stuff! Looking forward to more your tutorial and pushing your YT pages to a few FB groups...
Thanks, Quad Copter! I'm glad you were able to get up and running again, with auto bed leveling! And thanks for sharing the videos on FB! 😀
Hi Bryan,thanks to your video is was able to succesfully upload the factory firmware to my Anet A8 plus board. Unfortunately the board does not boot like it should. The LED on the board lights up for a couple of seconds and goes off again,the lcd stays blank and the printer makes some weird beeping noises. I tried re-flashing it again but this doesn't change anything. So i tried a spare board and again succesfull flash according to avrdude,but again blank display and weird beeping. Do you have any idea what went wrong ? I almost looks like the HEX file is corrupted. Thanks in advance. Pascal
Hi Brian, I have an Anet A8M, and I need some help. These steps that were done with Anet A8 are the same for the A8M (double extruder). You would have the files for A8M (Marlin, Firmware, etc) thank Paulo
Hi Paulo, I have a video here (th-cam.com/video/V7_zIQALk6E/w-d-xo.html) covering Marlin installation on the Anet A8. All the files needed are either linked in the description or I show you where to get them in the video. That video uses an Anet A8 configuration which is included in with the Marlin firmware, and the configuration is set for a single extruder. I haven't tried a dual-extruder configuration in Marlin, All my printers are single extruder machines. I can try to help, but I cannot guarantee success.
I think my printer is bricked, I get the following response after an arduino ide windows lib update:
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 2 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00.
*Please let me know if there is a way to fix this. TIA!
Will the work identically to the anet e10?
Will this work identically to the anet e10
Where can i get the ANET A6-L (lcd 2004 5 button) factory firmware? I tried steps, but get avrdude errors programmer is not responding.
Hi, I don't know where to get that factory firmware. I searched Anet's web site but couldn't find anything. The Anet A6 group on Facebook may be a good resource for that. facebook.com/groups/1267099096657537/
what do I do if my a8's firmware got corrupted during a print? (i dont think it's hardware because the printer boots... it just wont execute any commands what so ever)
Hi Brian ! I've followed all your instructions on how to burn a bootloader and how to install the factory firmware of the ANET A8.
Everything was a success unless after the factory firmware was installed, when I plug the board to a computer or turn the whole printer on, the screen remains blue with no display and produces very scattered beeps.
Would you know what caused this ?
Hi Lucas! It sounds like the firmware and the board don't like each other. When I did this video, I used an Anet v1.5 main board. I don't *think* that makes a difference, but what version is yours? You might try flashing the Anet firmware onto the board a second time. Also, you could try installing the Marlin firmware on the printer (see th-cam.com/video/V7_zIQALk6E/w-d-xo.html).
@@BV3D So the board I am using is a 1.7 that I bought off AliExpress. It's probably unofficial but I still have the 1.5 board I had bricked a while ago!
Do you have any directions or links to tutorials on how to flash a board? Thank you!
@@lucaszito109 Try installing the bootloader on the bricked board. Connecting the programmer to the board bypasses any bootloader that might already be on it, and lays down a new one. So try running through the process with the 1.5 board. I didn't ask earlier, but I'm assuming your Anet A8 has the 20 character by 4 line LCD with the five navigation buttons, right?
@@BV3D My A8 has the LCD screen with a potentiometer and when it turns on nothing shows on the screen not even the 4 lines of characters. But yes normally it shows. I will try with the bricked board and come back to you! Thanks a lot for your time and help
Lucas Zito I thought it was the A6 with the rotary encoder with the 4 line display. Let me research.
Hey B Brian, I know this video is five years old. I just received a secondhand a net from someone for parts my original a net the display went out and bought a new one. I hooked it up and I’m not getting any reading on a display. it’s just a blue screen, so my cousin had one buried in his shed he sent it to me as I was swapping out the motherboard I noticed a reset button on it. I’m just fishing for some type of help or advice on it. Should I swap out the other motherboard that he sent me, I’m kind of scared to use it because I see a mark where it look like something overheated or burned on it connecting to the bed temperature screws at the bottom of it
Cool, I like to convert my Anet A8 MB to run delta, hopefully can roll it back if delta don’t work 😜 thanks for the video.
Thank you so much. After installing the /dev/tty.wchusbserial410, the instructions worked perfectly. Amazing.
how to install factory firmware on ANET A8 using windows? please guide me .
trying to get back to original Anet hardware as with marlin my SD card doesn't work
why the heatbed is not working after the update? anyone have anyidea plz
Will this method work on windows? Also would I be able to drag any other firmware to install instead of the factory software?
Hi Adrian! Great question. You'll have an easier time of it with Windows. When you download the A8 firmware using the link in the description, the zip archive also contains a Windows app called "avrdudess". This gives you a graphical interface to the avrdude utility. It's an older version, and when you launch it, it may complain that it's missing a USB library. That's OK: The software offers to install an update which includes the missing library. There's also a screenshot in the zip archive showing what options to set.
Using either procedure, you should be able to flash any firmware file to the A8.
@@BV3D i tried using avrdudess but all i got was ~~~~~~~~~~~ whenever i set it to the settings listed and did everything correct..just didn't work please help >.
@@rndm9087 I have the same issue
I have a windows computer, do you know how to locate the terminals with this device?
Hi Justin! While I have no direct experience with SSH clients in Windows, I did find this list of 5. The first one listed is PuTTY, which I've heard Chris Riley mention before on his channel. It's free, it's long been a popular SSH client, and is good for basic uses like this. Here's a link to the list of SSH clients: activedirectorypro.com/ssh-clients-for-windows/
@@BV3D thanks, but you dont need to locate the terminal with window. I just plugged in the usb cable and the right com-port showed up between the com-port selection.
Cool, I like to convert my Anet A8 MB to run delta, hopefully can roll it back if delta don’t work 😜
Question: Is that Mojave? If it is, what is your Mac? Mine is a 2009 4,1, but I updated the firmware, so now it thinks my Mac is a 5,1. Question: Can I install Mojave?
Hi Mark, I don't think you can run Mojave on it. Both the Macmini4,1 and Macmini5,1 models can run macOS up to 10.13, but they won't run 10.14. I tried installing Mojave on a 2011 Macmini5,1 and the installer told me no. 😕
BV3D: Bryan Vines so visually, is that screen look dark mode?
Yes, that's dark mode. I mostly like it, but for me, Mail is kind of hard to navigate in dark mode.
@@BV3D Agreed, most likely Sierra is max on that.
I need some help. I got an error message
Help! in terminal I get ( -bash: 1s: command not found) what has gone wrong?
Hi Peter! If I'm reading that correctly (and if I'm not, forgive me, I've only had one sip of coffee so far), the message you're getting indicates you've typed the number 1 followed by the letter s. If that's the case, and you're trying to get Terminal to show you a list of files, try a *lowercase* L followed by a *lowercase* S. An easy way to remember this is that you want to tell Terminal to *list stuff* , so use the first letter of *list* and the first letter of *stuff* together, with no spaces: *ls*
Please let me know if that helped!
Thanks Bryan, what you have indicated makes sense, as some of the font faces look very similar to each other when printed or on screen.
I will now try again :)
Great series of vids, Thanks for taking time to produce them
Thanks Peter! Let me know how it goes! 👍🏻
does anyone know these commands for windows?
y axis stepper motor is getting very hot what can i do
Aynı sorun bende de var. Sorunu çözebildin mi?
I don't have Mac I'm on windows. Pls HELP me. I have limited time to fix it.
can you show a way to do this on windows
Hi! I'm not the best Windows resource, but... If you download the firmware file from the link in the description, the 0_update_firmware_guied folder (I think that's a misspelling of the word "guide") directory contains a Windows application called avrdudess. There's a PNG image showing how to set all the controls in that application, and a readme file that MAY point you in the right direction.
That readme may be difficult to follow. If so, check out some of Chris Riley's videos on his channel (Chris's Basement; th-cam.com/channels/qRiv7rQuxge63bqJ2hVNUQ.html).
After smug success in uploading Marlin - then replacing that with Anet auto level. Today I set out - equally smugly with my new found techy skills to re flash Anet Auto Level FW on my in place board - which did show a fault went connected to Repertier Host and printing by cable - it air prints at 20mm high off the bed....so re flash it! 98 minutes later ! I get this - and I am clueless but guessing its a missing folder or file missing from a folder - again tips please....:-
:- avrdude: invalid I/O mode '/' in update specification
allowed values are:
r = read device
w = write device
v = verify device
avrdude: error parsing update operation 'flash:/Users/ (NAME REMOVED ) Desktop/0_update_firmware_guied/A8-L_firmwareUpdate.hex'
Ah, I think I see the problem.
In here: "flash:/Users/yourname/Desktop/0_update_firmware_guied/A8-L_firmwareUpdate.hex", you needed to specify a write operation immediately after the word "flash".
It should look something like this: "flash:w:/Users/yourname/Desktop/0_update_firmware_guied/A8-L_firmwareUpdate.hex" (there's a "w:" after "flash:").
Hope that helps!
@@BV3D not feeling so smug now!! a 5 minutes job 5 hours!! after I posted - I cleared everything and started again - from then I get this...which seems to indicates your mac mini ! ....can't open config file "/Users/jenkins/jenkins/workspace/avrdude-staging/label/mac-mini/objdir/etc/avrdude.conf": No such file or directory - looked every Arduino - cannot find this.. but I recall its in the marlin stuff ! Apologies for clagging up your comments list..
Hi Quad Copter! It's OK. If you can, scroll back up in Terminal and then copy & paste your AVRdude command in a reply here. You can replace your username with "yourname" if you like. I just need to see what you were typing. Hint: The 'history' command in Terminal will show you the last 500 commands you've used. 👍
How to do it on windows
Windows tutorial??
PLS. I have limited time to fix it
Bryan... today sent a request via FB Messenger - to Anet - asking for a download link for 1.7 firmware. After 7 hours Anet sent me a dropbox link - but it was for the A8 Auto Level update .hex file - YOUR DROPBOX link!!!! Send them a bill mate !!!
tried twice, nothing happens :(
He doesn't show the result which means it likely failed.
