Buying my first 3D printer
Few years ago I saw a 3D printer in TV and it looked so awesome. Then I tought that someday I will have my own 3D printer. At that time the prices were to much for me and stopped thinking about that. In 2017, I was looking some tech sites and I noticed a 3D printer with a good discount. Then I watched some videos and read some reviews about this printer. I consider along time before buying it, but when I notice that this discount was closing in 2 hours, I instantly clicked add to cart. After two weeks August 2017, a package was behind my door. I was so excited.
The 3D printer I bought is called Anet A8. I bought it at Gearbest . If you want your own, this site has good prices and there are often big discounts. This printer comes in diy kit, it means that you have to build it yourself. You get a box full of stuff. I think it's good to build it yourself because then you learn how things work. This picture at the right side is not taken by me. I used this picture, because I not have a picture after putting it together. I have taken new picture, but I have modded it and it don't look like after assembly. But I have a one picture of all the parts you have to put together. You can see all parts list HERE.

It has piano-black laser-cut acrylic frame. Anet A8 supports multiple materials like ABS/PLA/wood/PVA/PP and luminescent. The diameter of filament is 1.75 mm. You can get more details about A8 at link above. This diy kit comes with Micro SD card and USB card reader. The instructions for assembly is on the SD card and you will find some good videos about it from Youtube. This assembly took me about one evening. Now it's about one year I had my own 3d printer. During this year I have modded it to make it better and some things have failed too, but I managed to fix it. Next post will be talking about first prints and first problems. And sorry for my bad english and writing mistakes, english it's not my main language. If you have any questions you can comment or you can get my email at contact page.
