Anet A6 3D printer, which is still not a gentleman's mischief!

Here is the third 3D printer that comes before my eyes and has an affordable price tag. It’s the most expensive of the three, but it’s no wonder it has the most material because of its size, and it can be used to make the largest objects.

I've written about the Anet A8 before, and based on the numbering, I thought the Anet A6 would be the little one, but it turned out it wasn't. Here, the smaller the number, the more serious the machine. As I felt a noticeable interest in 3D printers, I took the courage and asked the GearBest competent to bring them back to the European warehouse. He said he would arrive, but the road is long, wait patiently. I’ve been waiting, and it doesn’t seem in vain because the printer has arrived, so now we’re running through the hardware details quickly!

Let's see what capabilities the Anet A6 3D printer has! Like the previously presented printers, this one is sold as a desktop 3D printer, and even as a DIY kit, that is, it comes "assembled on a sheet", which must be built at home. This is nothing short of a miracle, since even though it is tabletop, its size is 1/8th of a cubic meter, that is, the sides of the receiving cube are close to half a meter. Its mass is also not small, it weighs around 10 kilos.

Of course, the large size is useful, as it also makes the tray large to print on. The maximum size that can be printed is 220 x 220 x 250 millimeters! The machine has a nozzle with a diameter of 0,4 millimeters and an operating temperature of 260 degrees. The Anet A6 3D printer has a print speed of 0,1 to 0,4 millimeters per second with a layer thickness of 40 to 120 millimeters. Fibers made of ABS, HIPS and PLA with a diameter of 1,75 millimeters can be used for printing. The positioning accuracy of the XY axis is 0,012, while the positioning accuracy of the Z axis is 0,004 millimeters.

The printer also comes with Windows software called Cura, and the created models can then be transferred to the printer on a microSD card. The settings can be made on the machine's LCD before printing.

As I wrote, this is now the third 3D printer you can read a short tutorial on on our site. You can find the previous ones here:

It is important to note that the Anet A6 3D printer can be ordered from an EU warehouse at the time of writing, which means that you no longer have to pay any customs duties or VAT for the current price of $ 205, or about sixty thousand forints! If you want to surprise yourself with one of these or one of the aforementioned printers, make sure you choose an EU warehouse if possible. You can also order from China, where the price is lower, but you can expect to have to pay extra customs and sales tax upon receipt.
