Marlin is one of the mos used firmware in amateur 3D printers and, after a lot of time is officially supporting the Anet A8.
So I decided to look for an alternative firmware. On the other hand, looks like it is not implementing a proper communication protocol as I suffered many times suddenly stops of my printing jobs when using a Rasberry Pi as printer server. Don’t have any security measure for preventing overheating of the extruder heater, so if the heater or the temperature sensor comes out from its place, the main board will keep sending current until some part catches fire… It uses a very aggressive algorithm for heating the bed, that will make the hardware to work at its limit. One thing you will notice is that it is not very polished. The printer comes with a completely functional firmware preinstalled, but you will never know exactly how is that firmware working. I’ll talk in deep about hardware soon, for now lets start for the part that will no require you to spent a single extra dollar. By the way, mine has been working fine for some months without any issue. Everything in this printer is just at red line, if you don’t ensure all cables contacts are fine and all screws are tight, it may catch fire. You can’t expect top specifications hardware from a 160$ 3D printer. 3.4 Arduino IDE hardware definition for Anet main board V1.0.
