AnkerMake M5 3D Printer

Excellent product !!!

The print quality is good, it's fast and the phone app & slicer are great too.
The camera is cool, but it really should be higher up so that it doesn't just record the underside of the heat bed on smaller models.

Being able to print and monitor straight from my phone is amazing.

The noise is verging on a deal-breaker for me. It's LOUD. My wife and I share the basement as our home office and she asked me to stop a print so she could join a conference call! It was just too noisy. My Ender 3 Neo is virtually silent in comparison, has almost the same print volume (only 15mm less on each axis), can print all the same materials at the same quality, and is a fraction of the price.

So you're getting speed and nice-to-have features at the expense of cost and noise.

I'm fairly happy with it, but I can't say I'm blown away

I am a novice 3D printing guy. Right out of the box, the device was easy to assemble and ready to go within 20 minutes. The launch of the AnkerMake Studio was easy, although I was a little affraid of the Expert mode but it was completely fine with the Expert turned off. Several examples I made was perfect, now I must learn the many choices of the Expert mode.

Made the mistake of getting an Ender 3 max neo for my first printer. Had to do a ton of upgrades right out of the box. It was slow and big prints had 2 day print times and usually failed on the last few layers.

This is NOT that. Out of the box I popped a few screws in and was printing within an hour. It’s 10x as fast as I could print on the Ender. With better quality. No hassle. WiFi is great and being able to check the print from an app is so much better than nervously checking a print every 15 minutes. Again. Amazing.

I have no complaints. This thing looks great. You could keep it in your kitchen. It’s solidly and well built. If you need to upgrade the hotend it’s a 5 minute process vs a Saturday project with Ender. People mentioning the noise.. to me the perfect prints in 10% of the time is worth hearing a fan. I’ve been testing mine in the living room while watching tv. If you run other normal household appliances, that’s the comparison I’d make.

So worth it. Spent about the same on this as I did the Ender with upgrades. This thing is great. No hassle or stress.

With how much you pay for other printers like the Ender or Prusa, the AnkerMake is definitely giving you what you paid. The printer is great! The quality for how fast it prints is impressive.

Customer service is what really drove me to write this review though.
The printer stopped extruding for me after a couple weeks and Jack, from customer service, worked with me through every step (very patiently) to help me resolve the issue. They covered the cost of all replacement parts and shipping. Some of the best customer service I have ever encountered.

I expected some errors with a printer new on the market but they made dealing with it as easy as it could be. All you need is a little patience.
