Anet A8 Filament Loading Guide

thingiverse

This is a filament guide to make easy and quick filament changes on Anet A8. This along with the instructions in the word document allow one to change filament in the middle of a print for printing multiple colors or materials. It uses and enhances the features of the Repetier Host to accomplish this Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: grid, 20% Notes: Be sure to read the PDF!! Use 30% grid support in Cura Engine in Repetier Host. This leads to least warp of the plate which is 6.5 mm above the injector boss that fits down into the extruder pinch roller pivot arm. Infil at 20% grid is fine but may be made a little more dense if you want. The funnel portion is very long so it reaches above my Y axis Chain as can be seen in the photo. For the Red Top: In my case I used the "Change Filament in Print" described in the the PDF document to change from Yellow to Red about 12 layers below the top layer (0.6 mm) and got an easy to see funnel hole!
