Anet A8 is a pretty terrible printer, it has absolutely zero frame rigidity and it cant really handle any printing speeds above 35mm/s. However the most annoying thing about it is how hard it is to level the bed, so after seeing this post showing an easy way to build an auto leveling probe on reddit i got inspired to build my own.

Of course that design wouldn’t fit my Anet so i designed my own: Custom probe in F360 Custom probe after printing

Stock firmware Anet comes with cannot handle auto bed leveling so i had to flash Marlin and configure it for my probe.

If there is any interest I’ll publish the files but I’m not sure if the switch I used is available (I used a switch from an old microwave).
