Customer Ratings & Reviews

This printer does a great job with PLA+. TPU doesn't work for me, I'm assuming the all metal printhead will fix it as it's a feeding issue. Overall it's excellent value for the money. The auto leveling feature works perfectly. The computer application has its issues, sometimes the video won't show or I can't send the file from my computer and have to use a flash drive. I understand these are likely limitations of the software still being unfinished. I still recommend this printer to anybody who has more than a basic understanding of computers, you don't really need to know anything about 3D printers. All the info you need can be found between YouTube and various forums.

First and foremost, I picked this up for around $350 thanks to a big sale and some stacked BBY points. So, I'm reviewing it as a $350 printer. As a beginner, I’ve found it to be great. It’s basically plug-and-play, aside from tightening a couple of bolts. Everything else just slots into place. Setup and unboxing is a 10/10, almost Apple-Like. My prints have turned out well, and I’ve learned a ton along the way. I've made things like a mini generator, random holders, vacuum parts, and so on. As long as you stay within its limits, the results are solid. Now, why do I suggest you maybe consider other options? Two reasons: a strange rebrand and a stagnant app. Let’s start with the app. At first, I was impressed by the catalog of other's creations—but it quickly became clear that the content never updates. Even sorting by “new” shows the same stuff. Is it abandoned? Is the app just broken? Who knows... Then came the rebrand. One day, the app updated and suddenly it wasn’t “AnkerMake” anymore—it was “EufyMake,” a rebrand under an Anker subsidiary. Why? After digging around, I found mentions of scrapped features like color printing (automatic filament switching) and noticed that even some basic replacement parts are inconsistently available on their site. Does this mean the M5 could be killed off and Anker drops out of 3D printing? Hard to say... but it’s worth keeping in mind. Especially after they quietly stopped supporting the M5C. I can't really recommend this if Anker isn't serious about supporting their product down the road.

Good 3d printer, Great printer for first time users and great intuitive setup and usage for noobs too. A bit noisy but the build quality is fantastic, controls are easy to use and screen is very intuitive. Print quality is on par with my Creality K1!

Have been very impressed with this machine. Well built and easy to operate. Software if very easy to learn and there is good support for issues.

Quick and easy set up, took less then 15 straight forward on how to use

Supercool machine. Really fun to make all sorts of things. Really happy with the performance and quality. Easy to use.

In short, I really like this printer even though I didn't know how I'd use it when I bought it but it was a great price, so I couldn't resist. Now, I'm using it far more than I ever thought I would and in ways that I never thought about before. The assembly instructions are top-notch. They are very thorough and give clear instructions on how to assemble the printer out of the box. I don't know that I've seen assembly instructions quite as good as the ones for this printer. The instructions go off the rails when you get to the last steps of loading the filament into the printer. Instructions are clear on how to get the filament into the printer, but they reach a point where the instructions say to go to the control panel on the printer and press the "load" button. Well, there is no "load" button...only "retract" or "extrude". Internet research told me that I should use the "extrude" option, which did work. Once you get the filament loaded, you are kinda on your own. There are no operating instructions included in the box whatsoever. Instructions tell you to download the software while loading the filament, but that's the end of the road. Can't figure out how to use the software? Internet search. Where do you go to find models that others have shared and you can print? Internet search. What's the difference between the filament types (PLA vs. PETG, etc.)? Internet search. When on sale, this unit is priced in a way that would attract newbies to 3D printing (like me), so I assumed there would be some sort of operating instructions to get you going, but there just aren't any. Yes, the AnkerMake website has lots of useful information, but put SOMETHING in the box to help out the newbies. Searching the internet for all these things and teaching yourself as you go is a bit of a drag.

This is one ot thr most impressive devices ive used. Its fast and super detailed. Best of all, its easy to use for newbies. The negative reviews all seem like ads for the endor printer, which is sketchy.

While it may be very slow in its operation, this particular 3D printer stands out for its user-friendly interface and ease of use, especially when compared to other models currently available on the market. Its intuitive design allows even those who are new to 3D printing to navigate through the setup and operational processes with relative ease. However, despite these positive attributes, one cannot overlook the fact that the asking price for this printer is rather steep. When considering the array of alternatives that fall within the same price range and offer a wider variety of features and capabilities, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify investing in this model. The competition presents more advanced functionalities and faster printing times, ultimately making them more appealing choices for consumers who are looking for efficiency and value for their money. Thus, while the user-friendliness of this 3D printer is commendable, the overall cost does not align with the performance and offerings seen in other products on the market today.

Great 3d printer. I have the ankermate 3d printer and 2 others. Since buying the ankermate i havent even turned the other 2 on. The quality and speed are great. Easy to use, easy to figure out .the slicer software has everything i need to 3d print great things

Easy set up! Super compact for a 3D printer........

Works great, I absolutely love it, it prints fast and great quality

Excellent 3D Printer, worth the price especially when its on sale. Have several 3D Printers, FDM and resin, out of my FDM printers this one has performed extremely well. Others are hard to level even with auto leveling addons, this one auto levels out of the box and is ready to print within minutes.

I love how easy to use this is for a newbie. Easy set up and very wasy to learn bow to use fast. Honestly no complaints.

Good printer for the cost. Fast speed and very quick.

My second 3D printer and way better than my 1st one. FAST and good detail, good software. Nothing to complain about

This machine is well made, easy to use and works flawlessly!

Got a great deal on this when it went on sale. Very easy to put together and start up. First simple print went well and turned out great.

I bought this for a good and reliable printing experience. It's printing speed also helps with larger parts. This is a very beginner-friendly printer that is good to start with. especially when on sale!

Great printer. Much quicker than my cr10 and the print quality is great. My only complaint is that its much louder than my cr10.
