My AM8 Build

This is a document dump of everything that went into converting my (already heavily-modified) Anet A8 to (an improved version of) an AM8. I retained the A8 upgrades that made sense to keep, while taking the opportunity to improve on the original's hodgepodge aesthetic by standardizing on one color: purple.

I ordered my frame kit here:

It drop-shipped from Hong Kong, but still only took maybe three or four days to arrive in Las Vegas. With one of these in hand and a printout of all of the STLs in this post, you can upgrade your printer. (I'd recommend getting some additional M5x8 and M5x10 button-head screws and M5 hammer nuts, as I ran out of the included hardware. I've also had a Hypercube build in the works for a while now, so I just raided what I needed from that.)

I printed the plastic bits in eSun solid-purple PETG: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LMDG09S/ref=
