There are plenty of resources online regarding updating the firmware on an Anet A8 in 2020. Then, with absolutely no changes to the gcode between print 3 and print 4 (and a different dye in the filament) I managed to get a significant improvement! Well, until I had a go at updating the firmware that is. I spent a lot of time with the calibration guides provided with the printer, changing extrusion speed/distance, printer temperature, movement acceleration, and so forth, but I only ever seemed to improve the print quality a little. Once finished, it was pretty easy getting started on the first print,īut it was pretty clear that I needed to calibrate it - just look at that stringing! It comes as a Kitset, which I had great fun unboxing… The Anet A8 is a relatively inexpensive 3d printer you can buy from e.g. Note: No guarantee is provided about the correctness of these steps. TL DR: If you’re just interested in the steps, scroll down to ‘Updating the Firmware’.
This blogpost is about the procedure I went through to update it to Marlin 1.1.9. I wanted to update the firmware on it, but was worried about bricking it. For the first time ever, I have a 3d printer! Well, it’s not actually mine, but it’s on my desk - it’s mine to use (and abuse).
