Great printer! Very easy to use and super user friendly! I will buy another one!

So at the moment of owning it, i love it. It is teaching me some things of 3d printing. I am learning supports mean something to letting my daughter play with the clean prints. Bought it to get into 3d printing and it is doing its job. Hopefully the fun gets its moneys worth. Recommend with total tech. Be cautious and do your research before buying any product.

First printer out the box easy assembly. The app has things to print now connect printer to WiFi and you’re ready to print. Definitely beginner friendly love it .

I am impressed able to print out of the box without a fuss. 100% would recommend this printer.

This product is outstanding! It's quite remarkable that I purchased one for myself and two others for my family members for Christmas.

It's a great beginner 3d printer to more advanced printing levels

This is my first time buying a 3d printer i got it for ny daughter bday gift and she is loving it so far it comes with a small roll of white Filament so i suggest to buy some it runs out fast

New to 3D printing and have found this device to be reliable and fun for the entire family. Originally a novelty but finding more and more practical prints to make.

Really good beginner printer simple set up and uses. Also the AnkerMake support team is great

This is my first 3d printer, at first it worked fine but then started to develop issues… first I suspected it’s wet filament ( I only tried PLA) but then I started to have more problems like printing air, I would return it if I could! This printer is only 3-4 weeks old!

I love the printer, it makes good quality prints even on fast mode. The only downside is probably how load it is. But all in all its a good printer if your new to printing and want to try it out, especially with the auto leveling system.

"I couldn't be happier with my AnkerMake M5 3D printer from Best Buy! The setup was incredibly straightforward, and the printer's user-friendly interface made it a breeze to get started. The print quality is outstanding, producing precise and detailed models every time. I was especially impressed with its speed—it's much faster than other printers I've used, without compromising on quality. The build volume is generous, allowing for larger projects, and the heated build plate ensures excellent adhesion. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this printer is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!"

I like the anker brand, there GaN chargers are impressive so have this device a shot. Set up super easy and I appreciated that since im completely new to 3-D printing and heard how you have to troubleshoot to get a printer to even work most of the time before you start getting it to work. I purchased this printer dec 13th and its barely Dec 27 and its already stopped working. The error unfortunately doesnt seem to be an easy fix (data communication error) as the suggested troubleshooting steps, didn’t resolve the issue. Honestly anchor makes it really easy to try to troubleshoot yourself and fix problems yourself which is great and I see that effort but this sucks to have to already have to exchange the device or maybe just return it altogether. I don’t know what I want, I’m still waiting to hear back from the engineers regarding this issue. I do think that they have a great newbie pritner. the app plus the slicer are super easy to use and the print quality is good. Its not amazing though, and for the price i would only suggest the 5M when on sale, for $500 its a great printer. If youre willing to spend more id stick with bambulabs or prusa (but anker is close!)

Awesome little printer. I had been thinking about getting a 3d printer for a few little projects but I couldn't justify the price of entry. Then this went on a DotD sale for $250.00 and I snatched it up. Couldn't be happier. Easy to use. Plenty of options. Very fast for quick and dirty prototyping. I will probably outgrow it at some point but it get's the job done and is a great entry level printer.

This is my 3rd 3d printer, have two creality ender 3s. I have to say this is a great and fast printer that requires little to no adjustments. The ease of use is welcomed as the creality orinter require constant adjustments you sometimes feel you do mor of that than actually 3d printing. The camera and app function are great and easy to use right out of the box. I recommend this printer to anyone looking to enjph the cool factor of being able to 3d print useful things, having 3 printers, this is now my #1 go to that i prefer to use over the others, I have had zero issues after 6 mo ths of having it, the price point is right there with the industry, i actually think what you get for the money exceeds that. If youre looking for a solid, well built, hassle free, fast 3d printer, this is for you, it also looks cool and futuristic.

Ive been using an Ender 3 for years. The M5 is better in every way. Its fast, its quiet, it auto levels, and setup only took about 20min. Its a fantastic machine. The iOS app and slicer software are great. Also super nice that it has a camera so you can check on your print jobs from the couch. Grab this thing!

I got this printer to get started with 3d printing. It is a straightforward, simple setup and can be ready to print quickly. It is quick and easy to load or remove the filament from the printer when it is time to change colors. However, it is not set up to print multiple colors simultaneously. The mats do a great job of holding the material in place during the print and releasing the item once it has been completed. I have not had to apply anything to the mats (i.e., glue stick); they work great. The app from Anker will allow you to send prints to the printer from your phone, although I have only used that method once. I mainly send prints from the computer. The Anker app has worked fine for me so far when printing items from files downloaded from various websites. I have gotten a couple of files from the Anker app, but most have come from third-party pages, and it does a good job printing. Watching the print from your phone can allow you to check the status and even look at the live camera view. I have only had one print fail, resulting from something I did not from the printer's fault. Ensure you are cleaning the nozzle and the mat, keeping the tracks clear and the printer clean; it will work fine. Small amounts of filament tend to fall into the tracks under the tray that will need to be cleaned out. Although I didn't plan on using both at the same time. One time, the printer popped the breaker from running this printer on the same outlets as my laser printer, and someone else sent a print to the laser printer. The two run on different breakers now; I have not had that problem since. The tool kit that the printer comes with is limited but provides a great starting point for a beginner. I did order additional nozzles, mats, and some tools that individuals on YouTube recommended. Plan on getting some additional tools not only for the maintenance of the printer but also to make cleaning up your prints easier. I will likely be looking into other printers soon as I want to make more complicated prints or ones with multiple colors, but I still think this printer was a good choice for a first printer and will keep it for printing single-color items.

This is my first 3D printer and so far it has been great. It is extremely easy to set up and start using right out of the box. I have been printing things daily and the quality is really good at the slower speeds. At the higher speeds it tends to not do as good of a job. I do wish this was in an enclosure to keep the heat constant, but this is my first printer and I have been pleased so far. The Black Friday price makes this a great deal for this printer. I think the regular price is a bit high for this printer.

Great 3D printer, if you don’t mind all the noise that comes with it. Prints do come out pretty well and the software isn’t great but isn’t bad either. AI detection for print errors almost never works so keep an eye on the prints and as for the software I did have issues trying to slice prints here and there. Only other main issue is for whenever prints fail sometimes the hard stop on the app sometimes will not work so you have to run over to the printer and force quit the print so you don’t make a huge mess. Overall it is a great printer very easy to put together, great instructions but for the price it could be better.
