thingiverse

EDIT 25/03/2019 : New HotEnd : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3501378 EDIT 18/01/2019 : People using my firmware without BL TOUCH, if you don't use BL TOUCH put the Z OFFSET TO ZERO by sending to the printer M851 Z0 press enter than send M500 to save. If you don't the print will start at the BL Touch level not the Home zero position. I AM UPGRADING NOW TO BONDTECH EXTRUDER. UPDATE TO COME. Hi everybody ! Here is my upgrade of my Anycubic I3 Mega 8bit version with parts list, firmware and links ! 3 months of work on my spare time.
