3DPrinterOS is the most advanced 3D Printing cloud software for the Anet A8 Desktop Prusa i3 - Experimental 3D printers.
If you are looking for Anet A8 Desktop Prusa i3 - Experimental 3d printer software, the best choice is 3DPrinterOS. It covers all your needs and even more.
This website is a service offered by the Sketchup team, where the users can create and share models created with the software. This website is mainly dedicated to professionals, and is highly valued within sectors such as architecture or design, as it serves as a platform for the exchange of 3D models and as a possible source of income for some creators. At the time of writing you can buy the Anet A8 at Gearbest for around $155.99! That means even in Canada you can get it for around $200 CAD shipped – that just blows me away. Yes, you could buy two of these 3d printers for the price of some of its closest 'budget' competitors.
With our software, you can remotely manage your Anet A8 Desktop Prusa i3 - Experimental 3D Printer or even the whole fleets of Anet A8 Desktop Prusa i3 - Experimental 3D Printers.
However, the magic starts before. You can fix and orient your STL model. Then you can slice it with more than 300 slicing parameters in the cloud using saved before slicing profile. All the way, all your 3D models and gcodes are stored in the system. Also, you have version control, which allows getting back any of your modifications.
2 days ago The Anet A8 is Chinese company Anet's version of the Prusa 3D printer kit — a Prusa kit clone for a quarter of the price. Featuring a heated bed meaning it can print ABS and PETG as well as PLA, the Anet A8 manages all this despite costing just $200. A cartesian 3D printer kit, the Anet A8 is a consistent, reliable printer for the price. SainSmart TPU filament ranks No.1 on Amazon of all TPU 3D printing filament. It creates rubbery, elastic, and impact resistant parts. The less infill you use, the more flexible your finished print will be. Recommended for printers with direct drive extruder, 0.40.8mm Nozzles.
