        I am not aware of a predefined config for the Anet a8. You can use the Search box on the forum to find other posts that mention that printer model.

            Its a simple Cartesian kinematics printer and considered to be a "i3" clone so the on-line configuration tool will get you in the ball park to get it moving.

            You will need some motor info, the thermistors, lead screw etc but it should be simple enough.

                Hi

                So now it works but the printer will not print in the Center. I have made gcode with simplify3d the modell is centered only the print is on the front- left.

                What i can do to let the printer print in the Center?

                Thanks

                  First, make sure that X=0 Y=0 is where you want it to be, normally either at the centre of the bed or the front left corner of the bed. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Centering_the_bed_or_setting_the_bed_origin.

                  After that, configure the bed offset in S3D to centre the print in the bed.

                      If your printer moves by the correct amount (i.e. 100mm movement commanded in Duet Web Control causes the nozzle to move by 100mm), then you just need to configure S3D to centre the models at bed centre. However if your S3D profile worked before you upgraded the controller to a Duet, then you shouldn't need to change it.

                      If the movement amounts are not correct, you need to correct your steps/mm in the M92 command in config.g.
