Key Features and Performance: Right off the bat, the AnkerMake M5C impresses with its setup process, which is straightforward even for beginners. What really stands out is its speed—this printer operates noticeably faster than many others I've tried, without sacrificing print quality. It supports a variety of materials, which is great for experimenting with different projects.
Build Quality and Design: The build quality feels solid, reassuring users that it can handle continuous use. Its design is compact, fitting well in limited spaces, which is perfect for home use or smaller workshops.
Pros:
Fast printing speeds
Easy setup and operation
Solid build quality
Compact design
Cons:
Could be noisy during operation
Initial cost might be a bit steep for hobbyists
Conclusion: The AnkerMake M5C 3D Printer is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to dive into 3D printing or upgrade from a slower model. Its quick printing capabilities and user-friendly design make it a standout product that's worth the investment for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Note to people with adhesion issues: clean the build plate with dawn dish soap in hot water between material swaps and every week or so if printing a lot. I marked one side as “PETG” and the other side as “PLA” because the residues cause issues with each other that alcohol doesn’t remove. Dawn dish soap is the best ever PEI build plate cleaner
I’ve checked in from time to time to see how the industry was coming along, it seemed like it finally got convenient a few years ago. Before a couple years ago, it was still either expensive or time-consuming to get into 3d printing.
When I saw that Anker had launched a new FDM printer company, I knew that this could be my way to get into the hobby, I’ve owned nearly 50 sets of headphones and earbuds in the last 15 years and just by chance, I came to only buy Anker products, they’ve always stood behind their products and I’ve always been satisfied with them.
REVIEW: On cyber Monday 2023, I pulled the trigger on an M5C by AnkerMake.
I was originally going to get the more expensive, slightly larger, and more feature-dense M5 flagship model until I read many reviews of people that had both. Many of them had said they didn’t use the camera feature on the M5 for timelapses, and the excellent printing experience negated the need for the AI print failure detection that detects spaghetti messes (when a print comes loose, the filament makes a large bush of plastic until you stop it or it “finishes” the print)
Those reviews and the fact that the lower-cost M5C comes standard with an all-metal hot end (allows higher temperature/stronger material to be printed) was all I needed to know.
Despite being new to the hobby, I had always planned on printing functional parts more than artistic work, and the materials that are the strongest need higher temperatures to properly print (up to 300*c)
Unboxing and setup were a breeze. All the tools needed to assemble and run the printer are included in a nice little toolkit. Assembly consists of screwing in about 6 stainless Allen screws and some removal of foam shipping braces.
I downloaded the app and scanned the QR code on my new printer and allowed the app a few Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections and then it was done! I checked for new firmware and it updated once.
The main method of finding and printing pre-made shared models is directly from the AnkerMake app. The app is awesome, if your printer is turned on and ready to go in standby, you can start a print from anywhere with your phone or on the desktop app.
I haven’t gotten into designing my own models yet, but I am looking forward to it. You can use the new AnkerMake Studio (based on PrusaSlicer) or the older app called AnkerMake slicer. You can also use Prusa to design and slice files for the printer, but you will need to download the correct profile for the M5 or M5C (they might be the same?) and using prusa, you can save your new print files to a thumb drive and put it in the printer to start a print.
My first print was a cascade style wallet made of silver PLA material. It turned out perfect! The machine does all the work, if you keep your filament dry and keep the build plate clean with rubbing alcohol,!the machine will turn out print after print flawlessly.
I’ve already made about 60 prints and have only had a few failures and 2 of those were due to me not cleaning the build plate. The third was from operating in a cold basement, I built a cardboard enclosure around it and haven’t had an issue since.
ISSUES:
Hardware:
The only issue so far I’ve noticed is that the main hotend cooling fan has started squealing on startup when cold. I will ask support about this and update this review.
Software:
The app was updated recently 12/20/23 and it has made it somewhat buggy, trying to load files from my phone’s local storage shows a message that the printer is busy. It also keeps bringing up models that were already finished and asking me to rate them and telling me that the print is complete, even when I already had completed the print hours before. Will update after talking to support.
I've not yet had it a week and because of it's speed, I've printed over 20 objects on it with zero issues. You can literally slice a model from your couch, send it to the printer (with filament loaded and a clean bed) and just send it. You can track it on your computer or phone and see when it's done.
This is what 3D printers should have always been for home use. I still want to use my Ender 3, but why when this one works so well and can print 5 to 8 times faster with better results and zero hassle?
This printer is a true masterpiece. I look forward to years of easy, quality prints if it holds up.
Well, they pushed a firmware update and almost every print fails now around the 2nd or 3rd layer. It's a great printer when it works. They can't leave well enough alone and now it barely works. I'm slowly beginning to hate this company.
I'm almost done with Anker. I've never had soooooo many prints fail midway before these idiots. It's so well built, but sooooo poorly managed, that it just doesn't work now.
If I didn't pay so much for it, I'd cut it up into pieces. I've almost wasted the same amount in plastic as I paid for it. Avoid it like the plague!
Update: Still having horrible issues. It fails for some reason as soon as it starts to lay the infill. I've tried PLA, PETG, ABS in both easy and expert modes and it keeps happening!!! The only things it can make now is a giant mess on the print bed. This never happened once before their latest firmware update. Now it's 95% of prints. I guess I'll just have to wait until the next firmware update comes along SINCE YOU CAN'T REVERT BACK TO THE FIRMWARE THAT WORKED!!!!
Update: Ankermake support has been great with my issue. They supplied me with new parts that fixed the problem. I'm going back up to 5 stars on this one. I really like this printer and I'm glad they stand behind it. They respond promptly and helped me every step of the way. I look forward to more of their 3D printing products in the future.
Top reviews from other countries
Only problem i encountered was the extruder slightly hooking the supports it was printing, sometimes creating missprints. But you can easily ajust the y axis on the app (phone) and it does take care of it. The automated supports from the apps do work but it sometimes creates more then truly necessary.
Overall a great machine for anyone who can think by themselves and learn a thing or too, while easy enough for a first time machine.
First printer I’ve owned that successfully completed a working torture test.
My only problem is some filaments don’t print well, and the Z Offset can be very close to the bed. These aren’t massive issues and nothing a manual offset adjustment and filament drying can’t fix.
Also, this thing prints fast. Minimum speed from preset profiles is 250mm/s which is incredible.
Overall, this is the best printer I’ve ever owned and I hope it stays that way because I’m loving being able to actually use a printer. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good printer, especially beginners.

As advertised, the Fast mode proves significantly faster compared to my old Creality Ender 3, completing most prints in about 5 to 6 times less time. The only drawback is that, unless a model is optimized in the Ankermake application for fast speed, it demands a higher level of build plate adhesion. In Easy Mode: Fast, it would be beneficial to have Raft added by default; otherwise, there's a considerable risk of print failure. Additionally, the auto-leveling feature is a standout aspect that I particularly appreciate.
