Mar '19 - You'll need to check the output voltage from the psu. Check the fuse too. If the supply looks bust, try another 12v supply with the Anet.
Jan '19 - Sounds like you need to check your cables. Is the hot end / bed warming up? Which profile did you load into cura?
Jan '18 - In addition, is your nozzle screwed in correctly? You can get this blob if it leaks and eventually deposits the leaking plastic on to the print
Sep '18 - It doesn't look like the first layer went down well. Recalibrate your hotend so its the thickness of paper away from the bed. What are you using for be...
Aug '18 - There are some gcode commands to check this functionality. Make sure the end stop switch is working all the way to the software first.
Dec '17 - Or use the pronterface program on your pc
Jan '18 - There's no point printing at 0.2mm. The smallest you should use is 0.3mm - I often have a 0.6mm in my printer since it gets the plastic out quickly and...
Jan '18 - Hi, You're using a fairly coarse resolution at 0.2mm layer height, but it mostly looks like over extrusion. The photos are quite small, so it's hard to...
Dec '17 - In addition to MindofMatt, your hotend only needs to be 190-200 and the bed 50c. Double check your nozzle height - it should be the thickness of paper...
Dec '17 - Yes, it's looks like it's faulty. I'd just buy a new one since they are only a couple of pounds.
Dec '17 - Your nozzle is too high and its printing too close to the edge of the bed. Move your model towards the centre and check the height of your nozzle again...
Dec '17 - What filament are you using? What temperature settings have you got? What is the bed material?
Dec '17 - You must have the sky net firmware installed? can you control the extruder from Pronterface?
Nov '17 - Have you checked the settings in your firmware?
Nov '17 - New stepper motor or lead?
Nov '17 - The printer will only natively print gcode files. It won't print STL files. Use Cura to slice your STL into gcode
Nov '17 - Is there anything obviously wrong with the board like a burnt component or loose/badly soldered joint?
Oct '17 - My belt tensioner actually shortens the belt run, but I've leave some spare as it won't hurt. Make sure you pack underneath the carriage so that the be...
Sep '17 - Just use pronterface on your pc. I never use the sd card
Sep '17 - Don't bother with glass. Just use a build plate sticker. Good luck!
Jul '17 - Under extrusion. What does the first layer look like on the bed?
Jul '17 - In addition to the first reply, I'd say it's over extrusion and too high a temperature.
Jul '17 - Does the resistance of the thermistor change with temperature ?
Jun '17 - Is your heater or thermistor broke? either way, there are spare parts on eBay, Ali, Gearbest, etc
May '17 - The belts should be tightened enough so they make a low strum sound when plucked. The carriage will be stiff to move if you haven't disabled the steppe...
May '17 - Looks like under extrusion and/or problems sticking to the bed. Is that a glass bed? You'd be better off with an adhesive build plate.
Jun '17 - With the sensor off the board, what voltages do you get on the signal wire with and without metal in front of the sensor? Are you following: http://3dp...
Jun '17 - That's a difficult print to do at the best of times and will test your printer and knowledge to the max. It looks like a problem with your slicer. Have...
May '17 - Probably just bad PLA. Try some other PLA since your print looks great otherwise
May '17 - Offset layers are usually a sign that the belts are slipping. Or the toothed gear isn't tightened.
May '17 - I believe the power connectors on some boards didn't match the instructions. Do any parts look damaged? Can you control the motors via pronterface? You...
May '17 - You could edit the model in Tinkercad or whatever and remove the bottom part of the print. The two parts can then be joined and lightly sanded. I've do...
May '17 - Can post a photo of the part that was smoking please?
Apr '17 - You must have either a bad temperature sensor or a bad heater. Is the temperature sensor still buried inside the heater block?
