Anet A8 Desktop 3D Printer - 3D printing is no longer a masterpiece
A few years ago, 3D printing still seemed like something quite euoteric sitting in front of a home machine. We’ve heard that an acquaintance of an acquaintance of ours has taken one and, for example, is printing a car logo to order, tearing a big beef, but we’ve seen little of it live, even at some exhibition. Nowadays, however, 3D printing is nowhere near the unattainable mystique we think it is.
Here, for example, is a structure called Anet A8 that we get in a DIY kit. Maybe that’s why it’s so cheap, because we have to do the assembly at home.
The printer handles ABS, PLA, Wood, Nylon PVA, PP, Luminescent materials. I’m not ashamed to admit, I don’t have a shot of what wood is looking for on the list, but someone will enlighten me well, I hope. 🙂 The maximum print size is 220 x 220 x 240 millimeters. Supported operating systems are Windows XP / 7/8/10, Mac, Linux.
I can’t say too much about the operation even after watching the videos, so I suggest you watch the demos too!
By the end, the price of the printer was left, which when delivered from a European warehouse is only 166 dollars, so roughly 48 thousand forints. This price is slowly scratching the price of a better inkjet printer. True, we will not print our diploma with this, but we can have 200 spiders on our shelves if we want to!
