The AnkerMake M5 is a gantry-style 3D printer with a direct extruder built into the hot end that moves vertically, rising and lowering driven by dual Z-axis screws on the left and right side of the tower. One thing that immediately stood out comes to how fast the M5 prints. Its speed is given as a range between 50 and 500 millimeters per second (mm/sec).
The large (9.25*9.2inch) print bed sports a removable magnetic plate surfaced in polyetherimide (PEI), making it easy to remove stubborn prints by taking the plate off the build bed and flexing it. During my testing, I never encountered an object that proved difficult to remove.
If you’ve ever used a slicer, you’ll be comfortable using Anker’s. All of the necessary adjustments are available. Printing the sliced model requires that you download it to the M5 through Wi-Fi, or load it onto a flash drive.
Wi-Fi is required if you want to monitor the printing in real-time, receive error reports from the device’s AI monitor, or create a time-lapse recording of printing an object. To do any of these, you’ll require the smartphone AnkerMake app, which is available for both iOS and Android. Setting up the M5 on Wi-Fi also allows you to send the sliced model directly to the printer from the slicer by hitting the “PRINT” button rather than exporting it to a flash drive.
Ankermake M5 is one of the most pleasant surprises of last year. Aside from the mysterious app error messages, a tiny bit of stringing on a few test objects, and the so-so documentation, the M5 is a solid printer for the money and an impressive debut.
PowerBoost™ 2.0 is an upgraded motion control system with a powerful stepper motor, double-belt driveshaft, and an S-smoothing algorithm that gradually increases the printing speed and acceleration of M5—without sacrificing print quality.
M5 calculates a printing plan and uses extra processing power and an integrated intelligent camera to stick to it. It configures a 1080p Full HD resolution camera, which features up to 720p real-time monitoring, 1080p timelapse videos, and 30 fps frame rate, providing error detection and notification.
Never compromise on stable quality even when you're printing at 5X speed. AnkerMake M5 frees yourself from sanding with smoothness in every thick layer.
Whether you're in the lab or across town, start and manage prints anytime via the AnkerMake App, Slicer, or Amazon Alexa.
Give your print accuracy with 7x7 auto-leveling. Advanced algorithms calculate a virtual height map to get the print started right. The only time you need to do any tweaks by hand is when you upgrade something major like the nozzle or PEI soft magnetic steel plate.
The double-cooling system uses a pair of fans that push out 1.3X the air output volume of other printers at max speed. The cooling avoids stringing and helps quickly cool down your model.
The integrated die-cast aluminum alloy structure and Z-axis design increase the weight of the base, reducing the center of gravity of the machine. The design makes printing more stable for fast speed and turbo acceleration. This also reduces installation errors for the base, improving printer accuracy.
PowerBoost™ 2.0 is an upgraded motion control system with a powerful stepper motor, double-belt driveshaft, and an S-smoothing algorithm that gradually increases the printing speed and acceleration of M5—without sacrificing print quality.
Developed based on the Pressure Advance and Input Shaper algorithms in the Klipper firmware to reduce inertia and jerking, and suppress vibrations during high-speed printing.
With the new algorithm, the pulse frequency of the stepper motor is adjusted in real-time based on motion planning to increase power release by 30% compared to PowerBoost™ 1.0.
Never compromise on stable quality even when you're printing at 5X speed. AnkerMake M5 frees yourself from sanding with smoothness in every thick layer.
With a redesigned ultra-direct extruder, you feel the intricate details after a 5X faster print. The shortened distance between the extruder and nozzle reduces errors and enhances control. At the same time, an algorithm fine-tuned with more than 2,000 tests in the AnkerMake lab analyzes and matches extrusion.
The foundation of high-speed printing starts with the enhanced multi-stage gear system with a 9.37 reduction ratio putting out 0.8 N·m of torque. The strong twisting puts pressure on the melting chamber to make extrusion faster.
The 60W heating rod quickly raises the nozzle temperature to 392°F (200°C) with 1.5X the efficiency of other printers. The heat makes sure the filament smoothly discharges while printing fast at 250 mm/s.

Give your print accuracy with 7x7 auto-leveling. Advanced algorithms calculate a virtual height map to get the print started right. The only time you need to do any tweaks by hand is when you upgrade something major like the nozzle or PEI soft magnetic steel plate.
Avoid tangled cables and multiple stray devices with a neat, cohesive design. M5 consists of the base and the gantry frame, plus the Z-axis design hides any dangling wires from your view.
You've got your choice of how to find out when something changes with your 3D print. See an LED light 33 ft (10 m) away, hear a beep, or get an app alert.
No matter how big or small, removing a print is now easy with just a slight bend of the scratch-resistant PEI soft magnetic steel plate after it cools down. And with the heatbed's magnetic design, you can easily remove and put the print sheet back.
Make the most common tasks easy with a smart, colorful LCD touchscreen. You can also switch to Night Mode to help your eyes when you're working late.
Supersize your prints to a whopping 235×235×250 mm³ and watch M5 handle the job fast at 5X speed.
Never waste a moment or an ounce of filament again with low filament and error alerts. M5 scans before and during the print to ensure your print comes out exactly to your specifications.
It doesn't take a degree to assemble M5, just 15 minutes from the time M5 arrives at your door.
Keep your print going with safe storage during power outages. If the power goes off, the printer saves the current layer, then resumes the print when the power comes back.
