Anet A8 Filament Loading Guide

thingiverse

This is a filament guide for making quick and easy filament changes on Anet A8. It pairs perfectly with the instructions found in the word document, allowing you to seamlessly switch filament mid-print for printing multiple colors or materials. This solution utilizes and enhances the capabilities of Repetier Host to achieve this. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: grid, 20% Notes: Be sure to read the PDF carefully! Use 30% grid support in Cura Engine within Repetier Host for minimal warping of the plate, which is approximately 6.5 mm above the injector boss that fits snugly into the extruder pinch roller pivot arm. Infill at 20% grid works well but can be made slightly denser if desired. The funnel portion is long enough to reach above my Y-axis chain, as shown in the photo. For the Red Top: I successfully used the "Change Filament in Print" method described in the PDF document to switch from Yellow to Red about 12 layers below the top layer (0.6 mm), resulting in a clearly visible funnel hole!
