Too much missing information! I understand that screws must be adjusted once, just for the software to memorize the z offsets(which is relevent to sensor's height). But then what? All up to here was still manual calibration. How does the 'autolevel' happen? Do i have to include a specific Gcode at the beginning of each print? Which software is printer running?

The buttons are anet a8

Machine looks frankenstein, anet A6 body and A8 control panel. whers the rotary knob off the a6

Hi. how measure the little acrylic piece ?

I'm researching which 3d printer to buy and Anet A6 seems a good choice for a new user. I don't get how auto leveling works - it looks like everything has to be done by the user with the screwdriver? What is then the purpose of the sensor?

What firmware do i need?

this bed leveler is for the 8 how does it fit on 6

What firmware is that? I dont have the Custom Leveling point

Hi everyone !!! The video is not the correct way to make the auto leveling work : I've made it differently. 1-Install the sensor LOW position and tighten it NO NEED TOUCH IT ANYMORE 2-Start auto leveling (it comes to the center of the plate) Do NOT use the piece of plastic to adjust the sensor. 3-Adjuste the hight of the head (Correct the Z position with the buttons ) 4- Fellow the same menue and click on NEXT 5- Adjust the corner then NEXT. It's making the 4 corners of the bed --> Adjust with the screws. If it goes back to the IDLE menu just start again the hotEnd will not crash this time !! Last advice, no need to be too close to the bed, it's 5 points leveling so better to adjust in 2-3 times. I hope it helps!! It's a very good kit for a starter and with the community and some translation help it's a best to buy

Anet A6 Auto Leveling ? The Anet A6 don't have "Quick Settings" I think, Mainboard and LCD is Hardware from Anet A8. Much missing information !!

I have an Anet A8 printer and the nozzle goes into the table, at the stage when I adjust the sensor position with an acrylic part, what should I do?

There wasn't any acrylic plate in my A6 set, what is the thickness of it?

You really need to correct this, where you put the acrylic part "under the nozzle", (you clearly put it under the sensor only). Followingthis operation my actual nozzle drags and scars the hotbed. Dammit!

Anet, Got a question for you. I bought a A6 recently, has the blue sensor, but did not have the software to run it installed. Why send out a product that has only part of a solution. I have loaded Marlin and what I need from you are what settings to use to make your sensor actually function. I am not happy that you have screwed us buyers by not making your product work as advertised. What, if any software can you provide, and how about enabling thermal overload protection, to make the sensor more than a paper weight! Do you want our houses burnt to the ground if the therm o couple falls out of the heater block, as it did for me. Fortunately i had already loaded the new firmware and enabled thermal overload protection..

This video is from a year ago... I think this is some cheapified version of A6. Worse screen, different firmware. And yet they didn't change the one thing everyone screams at them to change: they didn't remove the stupid threads in the aluminium of the Y carriage so that manual leveling can be done by turning the nut by hand, not with a screwdriver pushing down from the top and the nut doing nothing.

ese es un modelo de anet a8

I tried doing this with my a6 auto and it didn't work

Well, that was stupid! The whole purpose to have a sensor like that, is not to mess with the bed height.

At this step: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lc-Jm5R_27elg4k.html my extruder will not stop going down.
