Holy cow. You put everything I couldn’t get answers to in 8 minutes.
Watched the video twice and boom, problems solved. You’re amazing.
Great guide. I had missed that i had to input my material diameter, was trying all kinds of flow-fixes. So thank you for showing the solution to that problem.
Thanks the new Cura was a bit confusing I was using the reaaaaaaly old cura for ages XD
thank you for your tutorial. I was gifted an A8 secondhand but with no resources to guide. I have watched all your videos, very helpful.
Glad I could help!
Cool !! im gonna try your set up on my Anet A8 another excellent tutorial! thanks a lot! cheers!:)
Thanks for this!
Good video thanks.
I use both the latest version of Cura and 15.04.6 the reason is that 15.04.06 loads faster operates smoother on my 10 year old computer and is adequate for most of my printing needs but sometimes I want or need to use some of the new features and then I'll load the newest version.
I hope you get a chance to get an Anet A8 Plus. My grandson in-law has one and it's a huge improvement over the original Anet A8 in performance, build area and safety features.
Great video as always!
Thank you Daniel for your very good video! You helped me set up my Anet A8 printer on Cura and generate gcode files
Thanks for posting!!! Huge help for a newbie like me!!!
👍
I wish this video was out when I first started. Grant video and tutorial. You could try to make a inclosure for the anet A8, if you did it on a low bugit should be cool
Thank you so much. This really helped me thank you
Thanks a lot for this video, you saved me
PS You forgot to give us the url of your gcode
It's now in the comment section!
Great video, but when you set it up in cura, does automatically save them settings and then load them into the printer or do you have to manually do the same on the printer? I've only just built mine, and am setting it up, any help would be appreciated, thanks
Good video. For those using Cura 4.1 they need to add an additional 'Speed' setting. The value needs to be changed from '0' to '500'. If left at zero the A8 makes some looooong pauses when printing.
Can you please please elaborate. I actually would like to do this. Thanks !
will your Gcode settings work for the A8+? If not can you help us with the new A8+? there is not a lot of info yet Thanks. Great Job on the videos
Excellent vid as always, what Di I have to alter on the Goode as I don’t have bed leveling or marlin as yet
Just remove the G29 line
Man, I have a heck of a time getting my first layer going. I set up a skirt with lots of laps and far away from the part, but cura thinks I want to print with the nozzle like 4mm away from the build plate. I have to crank the Z steppers down by hand a few clicks to get it close enough to the build plate for the extrusion to make contact with the bed. - and if I dont do it this way, - IE, if I raise the bed, or adjust the z axis zero switch, then the print nozzle will crash into the bed when homing...
greetings im using my Anet A8 with and ender e3 profile wich actually make better printing results...however i bought an auto leveling sensor and my question is how can i confit it mantaining the ender profile??? btw Love your videos it helped me a lot... sallutations from Portugal
Thanks for your videos , wonderfully explained. I have a problem with max Z axis height in which both hardware switches and cura software
Limit the height to about 35mm. I know what’s happening but don’t know why. Every click of the Z fast position operation assumes a 1mm increase
In height on the LCD display but due to the lead screw of 8mm it only raises the Z axis by 1.25 mm every 8 clicks ( 1 rotation of the lead screw) so in short it only raises the Z axis by 1/6 th of the hardware reading. PLEASE tell me what to do , I’m in the dark , I have V1.5 motherboard.
Hope to hear , kind regards Alan.
thank you for the video. regarding gcode provided can i copy and paste as is? i have sensor on my tronxy p802ma. anet a8 clone. i copied and pasted as is. sorry im not understanding enable, or what to copy and paste. thanks for any help. i lost my original sd card and cant use printer. was hoping to get around the whole repertier host thing.
I need help with my first layer... do I need to offset the Z axis? how can I do it?
Is it possible to only move the anet display in front of the print bed attached with a cover?
Figured it out.
Hey! I was given an Anet A8, but we've run into a problem. Everything seems to work except the hearing element isn't doing anything. It starts going through the motions of printing without anything coming it and the readout says 0°. I was told the heat sensor was bad, and they sent a new one, but I've tested the great sensor that already installed with a multimeter and it works. Any thoughts? I didn't buy this, it was given to me, and I don't know how to contact the manufacturer.
I was gifted a non functioning A8 with Marlin 1.1.8. I repaired a loose leveler connection cleared a jammed hot end , replaced the lcd screen, figured out Cura and got it printing. I am now upgrading and fine tuning it. Is my next step upgrading Marlin? I don't know if my board has a bootloader. Where do I start with getting my software current?
Just bought a Anet A8 from a friend.. My first 3D printer.. So learning about all this :)
When i do the Cura settings, Slice to G-code and put file on SD card... Do i need to click anything on the printer before printing?!?!
Heat up the filament etc?!?!
Or will it do all of that, itself, and then print?!?!
Here's a weird question for you - the cooling fan (that points to the nozzle, not over the gears) doesn't turn on except when I boot the A8. I can't seem to find anywhere in Marlin where the code is wrong. Any ideas?
Daniel: is there a way to connect the CURA GUI to the Anet A8? I have a TronXY 3SX and I am connecting Repetier installed on my laptop to the 3D printer. The printer uses a Melzi V2.0.5 controller board. I can control the printer from my laptop. For small prints this seems to be easy. I have not found a way to connect Cura to the Anet A8 using my laptop. Have you fond a way to connect to the Anet A8 with Cura, Repitier, Slic3er. Thanks for any information. Richard
Hi, is it different anet 8 and anet 8 plus for cura settings? Thank you
Maybe you should add in the description, that the video is a guide for setting up Anet A8 in Cura version 4.1 (which is pretty outdated by 2020/04).
The current Cura version (4.6) seems to come with an Anet A8 profile, though it differs a bit from your settings...
I would be happy if you would provide a new updated video.
Thanks though.
Which Cura Version is this for? I have Version 4.8. Is this Setting usable for all Cura Versions?
For Example ..the XMin, YMin is negative (only Xmax. and Ymax is positive) in the printhead setting on the right... Minute 2:18.
You tell to leave it as it is... so should i leave it negative?
my x min has a -20 and my y min has a -10 and it won't let me change them. what do I do?
hello daniel im kinda new to 3d printing and i have anet a8 it printer fine for last few weeks now ever first layer looks weird and lines missing
Tip:you can use anet a6 selection but change the speed and bed size
This maybe a silly question but @2:50 the build plate shape is set to "rectangular" but the x and y area is set to 220 x 220 which indicates a square. Isn't that a square build plate? Does this affect anything?
There is no difference
hello,, i plan to buy 3D printer, can you recommend which excellent performance but with low price 3D printer, please respon. thank you
Hi, the best value printer you can buy for the money is currently the Ender 3 :-)
Is Anet A8 running with the G Code Flavor Marlin or RapRap, because it's always different in the videos from other TH-camrs.
Sebi
Marlin flavor in my case. I have all my printers running on Marlin firmware. Also the stock firmware is Marlin flavor.
@@Crosslink3D Thank you for the fast answer!
hello, i am having a problem with my Anet a 8 printer. the problem is its not printing the complete object but it show 100% on display but the printer just freeze there an do nothing until disable the stepper and remove the print. please replay soon as possible
I have another problem I can't turn on the extruder on my Anet A8. I got to the extruder setting and it says extruder off and I can't turn it on. Why Not?
how do i print directly from Cura, without transferirng the g-code to the printer. I hear it can be done that way as well!
Thanks for your comment! This is actually a good idea to make a video about. I will take it into my backlog and post a video response on my channel. Let me know, if there is any other topics that you like me to cover.
Hi, I have an Anet A8M double extruder with the motherboard PCB KFB 2.0 from Bigtreetech; I would like to know if you have the original firmware or Marlin firmware. Please make a video explaining how to upgrade. Thank you
hi Paolo, I am using Marlin firmware with all of my printers. there is several videos that I made that explain how to install it on a 3d printer however the KFB 2.0 is a bit exotic so I cannot tell you if you will be able to use the Arduino ide or platformio to flash the firmware.
Do I have to use the sd card that came with the printer? When using a formatted card it says it's printing but it's not
Any card formatted as FAT should work
@@Crosslink3D what is FAT?
@@tylerhundtoft5395 It's just a file system optimized for small disks, like SD cards and USB drives.
How to set up print via usb. My other printer has no problem its a sintron sw 101
Hello my friend, I just bought an Anet A8 Plus. Do you recommend any upgrades to start printing with Cura?
And also, how do I install de Marlin Firmware?
I bought mine in 2018. i need to setup a new pc but i dont have the old version of cura 14.07 which the document says to install and its not on their website. Can I use a newer version? if not, where can I get the old version?
thanks
You can use the latest! It works just fine
can you tell me why my prints are now miss printing like skipping during print
Cura will not let me change the x min or y min, is there any reason this may be?
Are there any differences in the start/stop Gcode between the A8 and A8 Plus?
I don't think there is a difference.
@@Crosslink3D thanks
Hi : Daniel
My first Anet A8 is Ready for Take off. Im in Big trouble - Mac user. How to get started with Cura.
Need A video lesson.
Lars Lundbæk🇩🇰
So, CURA on Mac, I understand. I will have to get my old mac a new keyboard, then....
Crosslink Hi: Daniel
I Found out, when Mac writes “ No “
Ignore and go to Private Settings and accept.
Them it works.

#crosslink make video how to connect usb in cura 4. cura 4.7 monitor not show a printer plz help make video on this topic
do you still use this printer
I don't get the slicer button. Why not?
Hi
Why is My anet a8 just started retracting the filament all the way out after each build! Can you help?
What's your machine end gcode looking like?
Hi there. I Gotta problém with upload marlin my Board ks v1.5 version and its not possible update marlin Can u help me ?
Nesh, please watch this video first and try the methods explained in it fiest. Wish you success! th-cam.com/video/wRODgnAqp1A/w-d-xo.html
can't see the monitor in cura anet via usb pls help
What cura version you use ???
I currently use 4.1.0
Link for cura?
Thanks good info. Although I never understand why people don't use the drop down menu under 'save file', to send the file via usb to the printer rather than copy onto an sd card etc.
is possible to calibrate my Anet A8 from Cura?
What exactly do you mean by that? Dimensional Accuracy? Better use something like Pronterface for that.
You did not leave the start and end g-code in the description
Fixed 😂 thanks for the comment!
Crosslink thank you so much. Great video 👍👍👍
For the correct #3dbenchy configuration: www.3dbenchy.com/3d-print/
same settings but 3h51m to print the same file. IDK
DMNT where are you from? i cant understand your accent
Thanks for making a great video. I followed your instructions and I am having a better results. I had a question. What is the reason when I am printing the filament is printing rough. bumpy. I that to do with the leveling? How do I fix this? Thanks
Hi Marko, I would suggest, you print a benchy and send me some photos on twitter. Use the hashtag #checkmybenchy so I will get notified.
But don't send them on private message, just mention @danielcrosslink and #checkmybenchy
