Product details
- Upgraded 500 mm/s Speed: PowerBoost 2.0 achieves smooth power output and increases power release by 30% compared to PowerBoost 1.0 to double the printing speed and acceleration of M5—without sacrificing print quality. Simply upgrade the AnkerMake Slicer, firmware, and the AnkerMake app to the latest version to experience the new speed.
- Precise 0.1 mm Detail: Get precise prints thanks to a new ultra-direct extruder and integrated die-cast aluminum alloy structure. We never compromise on stability or quality—even when printing at high speed.
- Error Detection System: M5 calculates a printing plan and uses extra processing power and an integrated intelligent camera to stick to it—keeping your model matching your design. Save time and filament with real-time notifications that auto-pause prints when errors are detected, including failing to stick to the print bed, spaghetti messes, or extruder jams.
- Integrated Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy: 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.
- Remote Control with Multiple Devices: Whenever the moment of inspiration strikes, you'll be able to access your prints wherever you are. Remote control via the AnkerMake app, AnkerMake Slicer, Alexa.
- 7x7 Auto-Leveling: Give your prints accuracy with 7x7 auto-leveling. Advanced algorithms calculate a virtual height map to get the print started right.

AnkerMake’s first 3D printer is surprisingly fast, boldly modern, and can warn you of print failures too.
