About this model

Manual bed leveling the Anet A6/A8 is a little awkward and could be made a lot easier. There are some good solutions on the net - I took the best, made modifications and kept it simple. This solution allows you to cover the entire hotbed with a build plate as you no longer need access to adjusting bolts from the build surface. All adjustment is done with the thumbwheels! All metal! at the hot end - this allows you to heat up the bed for ABS, Nylon and other high temperature filaments without melting your bed level adjustment. >> If you like it, please click the like button :) From the kit you will need: - 4x Springs - 4x Screw M3*30 Additional you will need: - 8x M3 Nut (Optional: Use self-locking nuts for thumbwheels) - 4x Steel/nylon M3 washer (Optional: I used large, but regular is OK) …
