1set Black AM8 3D Printer Aluminum Extrusion Metal Frame Full Set with Nuts Screw Bracket Corner for Anet A8-144 (T Slot)

After I had various frame parts fail on my A8, I was able to get this and a kit from eBay to build the AM8. Printer is working again and this saved the day! Between the a8 hardware and this kit I was able to assemble everything.

As expected to build an AM8. Works well, worth the price IMO

Shipping was fast. Frame is great and parts are all included. The aluminum corver supports are nice. Just take your time during assembly and it will be rock solid, wish it included a few tslot caps to help with cable management. No instructions but not complicated lots of videos on line. Download the Thingaverse instructions PDF worked great! Updgraded belts, linear bearings, PSU, went from Skynet to Marlin, everything else original Anet. First print was the little Benchy came out great!

Exactly what I needed! Shipped from China via DHL and arrived exactly 7 days after the order was placed (shipped to Arizona). Obviously there are no installation instructions but if you are ordering this, then you probably hava an Anet A8 or similar. And if you built your 3d printer, swapping to this frame should not be too difficult. Took me about 6 hours to fully install and dial in the printer. This is the extrusion only. You'll need to print all of the brackets and motor mounts prior to installing.

I really like how ended out the conversion, size of the extrusions was perfect, also I got some extra screws and nuts, but there are few changes to the original list of hardware created by the designer of the AM8 conversion. Nothing to worry about, you still have everything you need to complete the build. For example, you will find a bag with washers for the M5 screws in the package, and the original list doesn't mention those washers, so, you have to be creative on where do you need them. Also, they sent M6 for the tapped vertical extrusions, which I think is a good idea (the extrusions come with the correct tapped size for them). I think that everything is mentioned in the content of the package in the description of the item in Amazon (with eception of the M6 Screws), so, you can compare to the list of hardware needed created by the designer of the conversion. Now, final result, I'm super happy, I even feel like if the changes are an improvement.

Bought the kit. No instructions. The questions and answers and the video referred to another similar kit. My ANET A8 acrylic plastic broke and I bought his frame to replace. I cannot print out the parts to finish the kit. Anyone know who has the plastic parts available for sale and if they have a good set of instructions?

For am8 upgrade for Anet a8. I could deal with the issues of having to grind the corner brackets but since the are too big and too thin I have to buy parts and grind the holes to make it fit at all. At a lower price ok but don't buy if you want an easier install. Just wait for a ratrig. Not worth twice the price an d three times the headache. Don't do it!!

I loved everything about it. I wish a couple pieces were a bit longer. The brackets were a bit cheap, but it came together pretty easy. Definitely recommend it to anyone building a printer, or doing an AM8 conversion
