In this video, we embark on an exciting journey to breathe new life into an old but trusty 3D printer, the Anycubic i3 Mega. If you're a 3D printing enthusiast or looking to extend the lifespan of your own printer, you won't want to miss this!

In this comprehensive review and upgrade guide, we'll cover:

▪️ The inspiration behind the upgrade project and how we found a design on Thingiverse that perfectly suits our needs (link in the video description).
The decision-making process that led us to explore ABS printing and why we chose to upgrade the Anycubic i3 Mega.
▪️ A step-by-step walkthrough of the upgrade process, highlighting the ease of installation and any potential challenges.
▪️ An in-depth look at the results, showcasing prints from both the upgraded Anycubic i3 Mega and our secondary Ender 5 Pro printer.
▪️ Insights into the benefits of using different nozzle sizes for specific projects and why we've chosen to keep our Anycubic with a 0.4mm nozzle for intricate work.
▪️ A discussion on the enduring reliability of older 3D printers like the Anycubic i3 Mega, even without advanced features like a Z-probe or BL-Touch.
▪️ Our thoughts on how this upgrade has transformed our printing experience and why we've chosen to continue using our revamped Anycubic i3 Mega for years to come.

If you're curious about 3D printer upgrades, the world of ABS printing, or simply interested in getting the most out of your aging 3D printer, this video is a must-watch. Join us on this journey of innovation, nostalgia, and the joy of giving an old machine new life.

Connectors and wire isn’t original but we will let that slide😂

But I’m all seriousness this is such a good mod, not a fan of still having the long Bowden tube for the filament, just top mount the spool but if you have height restraints can be an issue…

Would like to see it not mounted to the carriage to avoid any unwanted adjustment but if it can’t be done it can’t be done, but iv seen heaps of people cad clips that go around the roller bearings on the bright bar.

I dont like the idea of loosing 11cm of heigh, maybe if you put the extruder in a 45° angle over the guides you shouldnt loose any cm
