Anet Evolution

Anet Evolution (En)
===========
This project transforms the stock Anet A8 into a Core XY machine with minimum additional material.
We took the Amazing Scott's project on the Hypercube Evolution and customized the parts to make it the most cost effective as possible and keeping the good print quality of the Hypercube Evolution.

Guidelines
--------------
* We want to use minimum material and keep the most stock parts as possible.
* We will use 2020 extrusion instead of 3030 on the Original Hypercube Evolution project
* The number before the name of the file, is how many copies you need to print of each part.

- Hardware
* Frame
6x 380mm 2020 Extrusion
4x 420mm 2020 Extrusion
4x 500mm 2020 Extrusion
20x Anchor Connector Universal PG20 *
* Bed
2x 405mm
2x 240mm (Optionally you can use a smaller one here of 140
4x Anchor Connector Universal PG20 *

> ###Optional
>You can exchange the 500mm 2020 extrusion for 500mm 3030R extrusion and close the Anet Evolution with Acrilic or Polycarbonate. and enclosure on itself.

* You can change the **Anchor Connector** with 20 L brackets and 20 corner connections for 2020, but the Anchor Connector is just perfect for the job and cheaper

Electronics
---------------
- I recomend this [box][50] for the electronics. But you can use anyone made for the AM8 project. My favorite is also on the files.

Firmware
------------
For this project, you will need to get on [Marlin][40].
- Install [Arduino IDE][41]
- Install https://github.com/SkyNet3D/anet-board
- Download https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
- Copy **Marlin/example_configurations/Anet/A8/Configuration.h** to **Marlin/Configuration.h**
- On the **Configuration.h** from this git to **Marlin/Configuration.h** you must change:
> #### Configuration.h
> \#define STRING_CONFIG_H_AUTHOR "(Bob Kuhn/Thingiverse, Anet Evolution)"
> \#define COREXY
> \#define INVERT_Y_DIR true
> \#define INVERT_Z_DIR false
> \#define X_MIN_POS -17 // You must adjust this as your mounting must be different than mine.
> \#define Y_MIN_POS 0 // You must adjust this as your mounting must be different than mine.
> \#define Z_MIN_POS 0
- Copy **Marlin/example_configurations/Anet/A8/Configuration_adv.h** to **Marlin/Configuration_adv.h**
- Open **Marlin.ino** with **Arduino IDE**, choose **Anet 1.0 board** and corresponding comm port.
- Press **Upload**

Changelog
--------------
2023-10-25 - Added Fusion File (FSX).
2020-01-17 - Added Nut_Remix version of parts, for use with hex nut instead of inserts.
2019-05-20 - Added LCD case for the 2020 frame.
2019-05-14 - Changed the file of the X carriage, since the old one was breaking after some use. I reinforced the joints and realign. New file: 1_Carriage_X_NewVersion.STL
2018-05-17 - Added the Configuration.h and configuration_adv.h to the files. They are for Anet board to run Marlin 1.1.8x bugfix
2018-05-03 - I made a test with a bed support larger and I feel the result is better. Updated the profile for 240mm instead of the original 140mm. The smaller one will work good tho.
2018-03-28 - Corrected the numbers of screws due to the new parts.
2018-03-22 - The files 1_XY_Motor_Left_3030R.stl and 1_XY_Motor_Right_3030R.stl were added to the project. Those are only for the optional 3030R extrusion and self enclosure.
2018-03-05 - The file 1_Carriage_X.stl was ajusted to the Anet A8 Metal Carriage. The Dowel pins are no longer necessary
2018-02-27 - The file 4_Bed_Bracket.stl was ajusted. the new version is on files.

Anet Evolution (Pt-Br)
===========
Este projeto é para transformar a Anet A8 original em uma CoreXY usando o mínimo de material.

Nós pegamos o Projeto do Scott, Hypercube Evolution, e customizamos algumas partes para ter o custo mais barato, mantendo a qualidade do projeto original.

Ponto de Partida
--------------
* Usaremos o mínimo de material extra, aproveitando o máximo possível da ANET A8, pra ficar o mais barato possível
* Usaremos o perfil 2020 ao invés do 3030 original, também pela questão do custo.
* O número na frente de cada arquivo refere-se à quantidade de cópias necessárias de cada peça.

Modelo 3D
------------
https://a360.co/2HCCdlt

Material
-----------
- Ferragens
* Frame
6x 380mm Perfil 2020
4x 420mm Perfil 2020
4x 500mm Perfil 2020
20x Conector Universal Interno
* Mesa
2x 405mm
2x 240mm (Opcionalmente voce pode usar um mais estreito de 140m)
4x Conector Universal Interno

> ###Opcional
>Você pode trocar o perfil vertical 2020 de 500mm por um 3030R de 500mm e Policarbonato/Acrílico e ja fazer o fechamento da impressora nela mesma. Fica bem bacana.
* Voce pode trocar o conector universal interno por 20 conexoes L e 20 cantoneiras de alumínio, mas eu não recomendo. Na prática o conector fica mais bonito, mais firme e mais barato.

- Parafusos
