In today's video we dive into the AnkerMake M5 3d printer. This is a printer that took many by surprise when it was announced and launched on Kickstarter last year. I was very excited to see what this machine was capable of and today I share what my experience has been like testing it these past 3 months. We will go over its specs, what setup was like, and I will give my final thoughts based on my time with it so far.

Last year I was a bit sad that I haven't had the opportunity to buy the M5 as early bird for under 600$ because I was too slow.
considering Bambu's P1P & Creality's K1 that come with full enclosures I have to agree that AnkerMake's M5 is a hard sell beyond the folks who backed it... considering they started their campaign 5 months earlier than Bambu's X1 did...
Good video! Printer is priced too high and too lacking in today market as you already said. This one should be a hard NO for anyone in the market for 3d printer. The p1p is $100 off right now and is cheaper and the clear winner between these two printers.
I think it’s worth bringing up Anker’s recent controversy and seemingly disregardaround cybersecurity and data privacy with its home security brand Euphy. Especially with the printer’s cloud connectivity, I think this should be mentioned should a follow up video come out
For me one big advantage of 3D printing over lets say milling or drilling is that a 3d printer can be used at home. And i3 style printers often were quiet enough so that they could run in the evening while the user was watching a TV show or something.
they offerd me a paid video ad for youtube and tiktok...... and never got back to me. thanks ankermaker
Joel Telling was kind enough to donate his review M5 unit to the Marlin development lab here at my little apartment in Austin, so pretty soon I'll take a crack at getting their firmware modifications merged into the upstream repository for easier updating to newer versions of Marlin. Marlin 2.1.2 introduced ZV input shaping, and the next version of Marlin will have even more advanced input shaping which was contributed by Ulendo. That should help improve the print quality at higher speeds and perhaps allow for faster printing. It's too bad the machine is so loud. Maybe there's something we can do to mitigate that, but if it doesn't have Trinamic stepper drivers then it's never going to be as quiet as a machine that has them.
I kickstarted the M5 just because of the Anker name behind it.
Great review thanks for covering this machine!
There's still a place in the market for i3's but probably not at that price with that feature set. I3's are a good entry point for people wanting to try 3d printing on a limited budget. They're a good option for people that like to mod and tinker but not necessarily want to build a core xy from scratch (me). They're also a good option if you need a printer tuned for a specific purpose like high-temp, high-flow, abrasive filaments or just something silent that can be ran in an office. The M5 doesn't seem to tick any of those boxes but, if people like their M5's and it meets their needs, it's all good. I'm just happy the race to the bottom of i3 clones seems to be over and we're starting to see some very capable printers being released by Elegoo and others.
This review adds another vote for the Bambu Lab X-1 Carbon
Wasn't the V6 promised for January 2023 during the Kickstarter? I'm really glad now that I dodged that bullet and backed the Bambu Lab X1C instead.
Too expensive for todays standards. Anyone coming across this suggest you go looking for a Bambu lab P1P.
I've been looking forward to this video for a while
👍 Good video. There are some more similar 3D printers competing with this one. Hope you can bring more to compare.
My initial thought was "this is a printer for people who want an "It just works" machine but aren't comfortable with Bambu being such a new company." It's not nearly as newbie/institution friendly - you need to know what a zed offset is, it's only really good for PLA/PETG, it has a two-part nozzle which is an easy failure point - but it still seems pretty close to plug-and-play.
Can you connect to the camera to check on prints while you are away from the house?
Great video. I do think the price is a bit exorbitant. The M6 was also offered during the kickstarter campaign for, I believe, $299 which was too much for me. One of the milestone rewards for the backers on the kickstarter was an all metal hot end, so I would be surprised if this is not offered as an upgrade option.
At $700, for the speed and simplicity and more solid construction, I’d consider it. Having started out with an Ender 3 and all of the frustrations and learning curve that follows, I am looking to spend more to get a more reliable unit. I want it to just print well, and not have it take 4 days to print a 100% infill piece. My top speed with the Ender 3 was 70 mm/s. Going 5,000 mm/s would be incredible, I’d be ecstatic at 500 mm/s. I’ve been waiting for this review and for it to be available to purchase at retail, and I’m glad to see it and hear your thoughts. Thank you for what you do!
I thought this might have been the first real consumer grade 3d printer, with similar setup and use expectations as other appliances, but the noise is a deal killer in that regard imo, a silent mode as default would be smart even if it slows prints down. Otherwise it seems awfully close to the type of machine a non technical person might buy, setup with similar effort as a TV, then leave running somewhere in the livingspace.
