There's something very satisfying about printing a mod and using it on the 3D printer itself.

[@MrArno1998]

I reccomend printing a strain relief for the hotbed wire so there's no strain on the connector, and so it's not going to melt or burn as fast ;) welcome to the anet group ;)

[@savvaskokkos8754]

good job done there...you are the only one showing the proper wiring diagram for the moshfet....keep it up

[@MrRoomba-Youtube-Sucks]

Thank you for putting in the extra quality and detailed explanation. All the other videos explaining how to do this had weird wire configuations or never showed where all the connections were supposed to go. THANK YOU

[@mattinman8285]

Great to see the MOSFET mod included. I've seen too many go up in flames on the Facebook group!!

[@bknBs]

In case anyone else needs it: the mosfet wiring diagram is at 2:49 !

[@Zockerzimmer]

I am a huge fan and i have the same printer. Strongly recommend to solder the hotbed wires directly to the hotbed

[@brabbelback2757]

Wow you have my sub! Wiring diagram, everything is clean and perfectly visible, good instructions...

[@igaveyouonejob7859]

Top notch video. Clear instructions, great video editing...excellent

[@Chad711m]

Do not own a 3D printer but watched the whole video haha

[@inillustrious]

I love your videos, my dude. Your level of creativity is so inspiring! I just ordered one of these printers and will be applying these mods as soon as it comes in.

[@amstudioprojects]

Thanks, Enjoy the printer.

[@denizozturk841]

Nice video bro!

[@MrSabifa]

Video idea: diy button Plate for fanatec or thrustmaster wheels for use with custom rims :)

[@Conquerjt]

Is there a wiring diagram for the Power Switch?

[@dirkvantroyen9170]

How do I do this with a 2 prong switch? On mine, only 2 wires are on the back of the switch.

[@tiagovt]

Hi, what type filament you use to upgrade? thanks

[@amstudioprojects]

I used PLA

[@t4teeee697]

Has the power supply held up?I've heard really mixed reviews on the PSU supplied with this printer?

[@amstudioprojects]

Yeah not the best Power supply, but so far its been ok.

[@t4teeee697]

amstudio thanks ,as soon as ive saved a little i will be buying one of these printers and a set of MOSFETs etc

[@thomasvanlommel]

maybe you should include links to the parts (thingiverse) in your description ;)

[@williamnichols2067]

Why is it I cannot find a schematic for the mosfet kit? I'm not talking about how to wire the kit. But, the schematic for the kit itself. I have naked mosfets laying around. Why should I have to buy a kit and wait on shipping if I can just build my own kit?

[@monstaxci7196]

amstudio, going back to your SimHub video, did you create the Motec display? is there a way you can upload it somewhere for us to use? thanks!

[@carlosalbertofontes3514]

BOA TARDE. ALGUÉM DE VOCÊS QUE SEGUEM O "amstudio" saberia me informar como devo fazer para trabalhar com o Cura 3.6 no lugar do Cura 14.7 . a impressora é a ANET A8. já está instalado os dois sistemas; porém quando saio do "PREPARAR" para "MONITOR" aparece "A impressora não está conectada."Trabalho na serial porta( COM8 ) e Baudrate (115200). Desde já agradeço a informação.

[@carlosalbertofontes3514]

Ninguém ainda não me deu esta informação? 😫

[@gnokketto7423]

Cover of Power supply ?

[@amstudioprojects]

Updated link in description

[@ThisIsMySig]

Your schematic is missing the board power.

[@janekblutke3718]

Plsssss do a giveaway i need your setup without making it myself because i would screw it up xD

[@matthewsingh5446]
