Best 3D printer reviews! Thank you! AnkerMake got a lot right with the M5C. They kept the important features and quality while eliminating cost in the display. I could live with that perfectly well if they used stock Klipper so I could control the 3D printer from my computer. I know many people like using their phone for everything but I'm not going to use an app to interface to a 3D printer... period. No, not even a nice looking app like the one provided by AnkerMake.

@heathcliffebird7514 11 ай бұрын

Agreed... As long as you're reliant on proprietary software or a service to use a hardware product, the product becomes junk when the software stops working or being supported. And proprietary software always stops being supported unless it's subject to sufficient ongoing fees or income streams. Thats why i'd want any printer to at least run open source as a baseline and be user upgradable - even if the manufacturer offers a better experience layered on top.

@DennisMurphey 11 ай бұрын

You always do a great job dissecting the product and its functions for use. Thank You. I am building a new model train controller with ESP8266 and we are thinking about using Cell Phones for controller. This Review shows that others can do it so we should be able to also. Also my 10s Pro is printing at 180mm/s with Linear Rails on Y and Klipper on Pi, so it seems with tuning I should get to 250 mm/s as well. Oh Boy. Thank You young lady, every video has lessons in it for this old man too. Great, Dennis

The printer you reviewed last week came with a hardened steel nozzle but the hot end only went to 260c. This printer does go up to 300c but did not come with a hardened nozzle. I would prefer every new printer coming out comes with two print heads like QIDI does it, one lower temp with a brass nozzle and one high temp with a hardened nozzle. That would give people more flexibility to use a wider range of filaments. Other then that it looks like a good printer, easy to set up.

Yikes, your Benchy prints look kinda rough, I think it is the filament though. I did a speed Benchy with this printer at the same time, 16 minutes and 48 seconds, and mine came out looking mint. I used Elegoo Rapid PLA+ though. I also print everything (well 90%+) at 500mm/s and have no issues with quality. Some stuff needs to be a bit slower, be it low bed contact or just the shape of the object you're trying to print. But almost everything I have tried has been happy at max speed. Edit: you can slice with any app you want, then load the GCODE into Anker's slicer and send it from there, don't have to use USB.

@ivanmilenkovic8285 2 ай бұрын

Excellent review and right to the point! Where a lot of other reviews spend time explaining a lot of technical features and other things, what I really care about (maybe it's just me?) is print quality at different speeds and with different materials. As I already have Ender 3 Pro, I know how 3D prints can be (Ender has beautiful prints when everything is in sync), and how much tinkering and preparations are needed (both hardware and software tweaks) for those 3D prints to look great. Even with quite some experience, Ender 3 Pro drives me crazy sometimes (Does bed leveling ring a bell?), and still after a glass bed and auto bed level upgrade, adjustments before printing are painful. That is why I am looking at something that will require less time in preparations, but will have good prints. Your review perfectly covers what I wanted to know, and with lot of examples you don't need to explain what is better, viewers can see it with their own eyes. Now there is just the last most difficult step for me - choose between Ankermake M5C ($299) and Bambu Lab P1S ($699, ouch). Thanks and subscribed!

@opravduchytradomacnost 9 ай бұрын

The easiest and best way to feed filament with a direct extruder is when the spool is in the middle at the top and then the filament goes down without needing to be guided in a tube. The M5C already has a better filament position, but the guide tube still kills it. How many tries (printers) will it take for the AnkerMake to center the spool and remove the guide tube like everyone else with these type of printers does? :-)

Does it default to 2.5k acceleration? Bed slinger aren’t meant for top speed especially over 200, but can do much higher accel than that. My 300mm Klipper bed slinger handles 10k accel no issues but print between 90-180mm/s and still about half the time of stock 2.5k.

@AuroraTech 11 ай бұрын

Yes, the default profile was set to 250mm/s and 2.5k acceleration.

Not Happy with mine or Ankermakes Resolution of sending the entire unit back rather then sending me a replacement extruder stepper motor. After FAILING on 3rd print. Won't turn the extruder gears with clear filament path and finding motor had scarring on the inside when I opened it up. Printed great when it DID but will NOT be buying another one. Still waiting for my replacement to be shipped to get one that Works. JUST Bought the ENDER 3 V3 SE. I would take two of them instead of one M5C. They are the same price for Two Ender 3 V3 vs 1 M5C. Yes they are only 250mm/s but are we really using all that 500mm/s.

@davidboop3550 11 ай бұрын

Again, another awesome video. Can I ask something that's more like constructive criticism and not an insult? For some reason on this video when you did the fast motion printing, I don't know if it's because it was a bedslinger or if the camera was too close, but it was really hard to see. Maybe I'm tripping and I'm wrong and I'm sorry if nobody else feels this way. I mean specifically on the larger prints like the trash it just look like a blur to me.

@@AuroraTech good job on the review regardless, but the disclosure was insufficient and likely breaks the legal requirements on that.
