The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight and effective, all characteristics that are desirable in a 3D printer. The rails are supported by aluminum brackets ensuring a high level of rigidity. The printer also features nylon roller bearings for the print bed.

Anet A2 prints with ABS, HIPS, PETG, PLA and other materials.
The all-metal extruder comes with a heat sink fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.
