SCUU8 and SCUU8 for AM8

thingiverse

I design an improved openSCAD file to manufacture the SCUU8, optimizing it for the current moment. I offer the SCUU8 STL file for download, specifically labeled as SCUU8-plus8mm.stl. Using the SCUU8-plus5mm.stl model on my AM8 printer, I paired it with the original motherboard. The result is a significantly quieter printer than before! Print speed has also increased impressively. The print quality remains identical, but this depends heavily on the driver settings - in my case, the Anet-A8 A4988 driver, while not the best available, still produces excellent results. It's crucial to note that when printing with the SCUU8, using a 0.1mm layer height is essential. Setting the infill density at 40% ensures proper screw engagement for M4 holes on the Anet A8 printer. When tapping these M4 holes, it's critical to follow a specific procedure: turn the tap 2-4 times forward, then reverse direction and reposition; repeat this process until complete. This prevents damage to the SCUU8. I've tested the SCUU8 with IGUS LM8UU bearings (note that clones may require further testing). The redesigned SCUU8 offers a larger size than its original counterpart, making it ideal for AM8 printers that necessitate a higher heat bed.
