Starting January 2024
Working Area 300 x 300 x 290 mm
I will use as many parts from my ANET A8 Plus as I can to save money.
This would be a $1500 order in a basic kit form (actually way more than twice that with the options I am using).
You would still have to asemble it and print out all the plastic parts.
I will order some sub kits for things such as bolts, gears and wiring.
I will keep a price list to see what I saved.

This list does not contain various nut and bolt sets or tools needed to complete this build.
Since I only used a small percentage of the sets and any tools purchased will be used for future builds I did not include them.
Parts I will reuse from ANET A8 plus and other leftover parts
I am learning that using the ANET parts is a lost cause and getting new parts instead.
The list went from 12 items down to only two.
| 24V power supply | $0 |
| rubber feet X4 | $0 |
| Various nuts and bolts | $0 |
This will take a long time to build. hours for just printing parts with my other 3D printer.
I am starting by printing out the hundreds of parts that this build will need.
I am using PLA for the skirt parts that won't be near as much heat.
The rest will be printed on ABS.
Luckily all the STL files are available for free from the Voron website.
