3D Printer

In middle school I bought and assembled an Anet A8 3d Printer. The Prusa knockoff is known for its mediocre print quality and dangerous safety record. To remedy these issues, I upgraded the firmware, experimented with and added an auto bed leveling sensor, augmented the dangerous wiring, and added features such as TL-smoothers (signal smoothing for the stepper motors) and Octoprint (a web-based control interface) with live camera feed.
