With the AnkerMake M5C I have a super-fast and user-friendly 3D printer that I can easily assemble. I miss an AI camera with which I can monitor my 3D printer from a distance.
Easy to assemble
The box of the AnkerMake M5C contains the 3D printer, a tool box, installation manual and extra 0.2 millimeter nozzle. I assemble the printer with ease. The 3D printer comes in 2 pre-assembled modules, which I only screw together. The 3D printer is assembled within 20 minutes and I have loaded the filament.
Nice to use
The 3D printer does not have an LCD screen, so I control it from my laptop and smartphone. There is a button on the 3D printer where I set shortcuts. I find it more convenient to use the app and control the printer via a WiFi connection. The AnkerMake M5C automatically adjusts the print bed, which takes about 10 minutes. Because I don't do this manually, I save time and prevent errors in the adjustment of the print bed.
Suitable for beginners
AnkerMake has its own slicer in the app, so you don't need any other slicers. The slicer has an 'easy' and 'expert' mode, making it easy to use even as a beginner. The app automatically turns your design into an AI image, but the AnkerMake M5C does not have an AI camera. I cannot monitor my print remotely via my phone or computer. This is possible with the AnkerMake M5. I do receive a notification via the app if, for example, the filament has run out, something goes wrong during printing or when the 3D printer is ready.
Fast printing in fast mode
The mobile app contains a number of prints that have already been sliced. For these designs, just click on 'Print'. With the 3DBenchy design I test the accuracy of the 3D printer in fast mode. The print is ready within 20 minutes. Even with the high speed I get a good design with neat layers. I don't have much trouble with stringing, the thin wires that sometimes get stuck on your print. After making several prints, I was sold on fast fashion. This is especially useful for designs with less detail. For designs with more details I use the normal speed, which is also quite high at 250 millimeters per second.
Accurate and many options
The extruder supports printing up to 300 degrees Celsius, allowing me to process many different types of filament, including wood filament and PA. This gives me many options. With the 0.2 millimeter nozzle I make prints with a layer thickness of 0.1 millimeters in Precision Mode. This allows me to print my designs with the most detail.
