I wanted to design a 3D printer using my Anet A8 as a donor printer mostly because I wanted to print in nylon, CF, etc, and I bought a E3D V6 and I felt it was overkill for the $100 printer. So I just designed my own...Build Log Video's First Prints I started printing out the X/Z axis of the machine to make sure the parts in motion would operate correctly. The carriages were very easy to assemble, the only post possessing required is a 21/64" drill bit to ensure the linear rods would go though properly. I would assume if you had a nice 3D printer this step would be unnecessary.

So I got a roll of PETG and a new build surface/heater, I can finally print the frame! I also designed a new X axis motor mount to add possible support for a enclosure in the future...
