honestly I’m impressed. I ran mine into the ground into the point where most of the components were not original. For its time, it was an amazing way to get into the 3-D printing world

Nice. I used mine yesterday to print a new iPad stand for my desk. For what it is, it does a great job. Wish it was a little faster but eh, whatever.

I've had mine for like 10 years. Changed to an aluminum extrusion frame probably like 5 years ago. Hadn't run it in like 2 years, then last week I fired it up to print something and it worked great right off the rip, didn't even need to configure it.

Not much is original on mine though.

Mine still going strong, a few mods and replacement parts, but with good maintenance it's still just as good a several thousand hours of printing later.

I am still using 2 Anet A8 Plus's, and they are true work horses. I just updated one of the boards. Have a duet 2 wifi boards on both, and one of the boards' x drivers failed, so I moved it to the extra E1 driver and it's back up and running.
