due to the last unsuccessful Thingiverese update, all the text and instruction became a complete mess. Therefore I decided to build a new website for the projects: https://www.blvprojects.com You are more than welcome to visit and build your own BLV printer.

BLV mgn12 mod for Anet A8 / AM8
---
* The main purpose of this project is: converting your Anet A8 into an incredible 3d printer, using MGN12 rails fixed on an aluminium extrusion frame.
* This upgrade compatible with pheneeny's [AM8 mod](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2263216) with small changes. (Huge credit!)
* **Why mgn?**
The linear bearing and Delrin Wheel Gantry commonly used at most of low-mid 3d printers as a cheaper solution for linear motion. Its cheaper replacement for the expensive mgn rails BUT price is at the expense of accuracy and reliability. Well, linear guided rails (mgn rails) are much more rigid, extreme precise and smooth then linear bearing or Delrin. The linear rails lets you print with higher speed - shorting print time without compromising print quality. The fact rails are fixed to frame prevents unwanted motion related to bent threaded rods or other axis's motion. There seems to be a good reason why they are mostly used with high end 3d printers..
So, i found [cheap chinese mgn rails at Aliexpress](http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/b4ZT5JAu) and thought to…
