3D model description

The Alunar M508 isn't the best printer, but with these upgrades you can make it perform much better and look much cooler.

This is a collection of mods I have found on Thingiverse and created myself to better the terrible printer known as the Alunar M508.

Here are links to the original Things if you wanna grab the originals from there or thank the designers. A few of these mods are the originals, but some are things I have made or modified from the originals.

Extruder Button: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2249419
Bed Leveling: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2350276(the wheels are too thin and sharp, I created different ones)
Filament Spool Arms: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2953446 (Originals didn't work for me due to not being tall enough, so I recreated them)
Fan Guard: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:121534 (Didn't work for me due to being to thick, so I recreated it)
Blower Fan: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2771617
Extruder Fan Mod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2290361
Nut Caps: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2757717

SD card extender: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073YMTQPT/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Frame Stiffening:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1623613

I have tested and printed all the files listed and they all have printed. For the Extruder Fan Guard you will need some hardware. One 3x50mm screws and two 3mm nuts or one lock nut. All can be found at Home Depot.

Also, if anyone needs the firmware it is super hard to get if you lose it and it isn't the best. I updated my firmware top the latest version of Marlin. If you are looking for it I have it up on Github.
