So I purchased this as my first printer and I have been nothing but continuously impressed.I’d wanted one for a while and for my university final year engineering project, it made sense for me to have easy access so I bit the bullet and purchased this.Of course I did my research before and this just seemed to tick all my boxes.Firstly, the build quality is excellent for this price point with heavy duty plastics and metals that make it seem much more premium in both feel, weight and looks.The assembly process was incredibly easy, and once built that was basically it.The app is great and the slicer impressed me with how versatile it is.Print quality is as good as can be expect if not a little better, I was blown away by some of the things this little printer could do for the money.Had some issue with bed adhesion with a Wood PLA, but I’m fairly certain that’s an issue with the cheaper PLA itself or my settings moreso than the printer or plate.All in all, I would (and have) recommend this printer to anyone looking for a first printer, and it’s a cherry on top that it’s just a nicely finished product.

I've always considered 3d Printing to be extremely complicated to get into , i took this out of the box and had it connected to my phone in 20 minutes , and then my laptop shortly afterThere is a QR code on the back of one of the vertical axis support (actually there are 2 ignore the white one at the base ) that's about 4 inch up from base which you connect to from the phone app software ,once that's done you can then tell your printer the details for your Wi-Fi setup and your pc/laptop will then be able to find it you can also connect directly by USB-C but only if you don't have wireless...The only thing to really let this down the the infeed for the ribbon/tape its a wee bit flimsy but easy to get used to considering how little I had to pay for it in black Friday deal .IT is buy far the best value for money for an entry level printer , and looking at some of the reviews it can go toe to toe with some of the higher end models as well

As a starter 3d printer the ankermake M5C is a brilliant introduction into the 3d print world. Easy to assemble and setup and link to your Wi-Fi, PC and dedicated phone app, it means you can be making your first 3d prints within an hour. I have used this extensively since my purchase and can honestly say the process is seamless and the results, after some minor tweaking of the print settings, have been excellent.I only hope they make an updated printer with a larger print volume as my last project was limited in scope due to the 220 x 220 print bed area.

Makes cracking good prints but the annoying thing is every time i start to use the printer i get an error that the usb cable which plugged into the extruder is not connected causing it not to heat up, so every time i,m having to unscrew the cable give it a wobble then it works fine.

Bought on the spur of the moment due to a 'black friday' deal. I've had a learning curve, as this is my first 3d printer, and I had zero experience on what to expect. Absolutely no regrets purchasing the ankermake m5c. Easy to set up and easy to use. It's been very enuoyable and satisfying to learn how to, then design my own parts on Tinkercad then see them turn into reality on the printer. Lots of helpful youtube videos if you look. Lots of free deseigns on websites like thingiverse I've made useful parts from thingiverse e.g tool holders for tools and more. Thoroughly recommend the machine and a lot of fun. The most useful machine I never realised I needed.!

We bought this printer for my son for Christmas. We bought it on the amazon deals day in October but didn't open it until boxing day.Unfortunately the printer will not work at all. We have tried every troubleshooting video on the ankermake site but nothing has worked. My son is very disappointed not to be able to use his main christmas present. Anker no longer seem to have support on their site. No one is answering our emails and no other form of communication seems to be available.I can't return the item any more as we have passes the month mark. All we want is a working printer that is fit for purpose but this at the moment was a very expensive mistake causing an upset child.

Christmas present for my 12 year old son. Printer was easy to set up and app is easy for him to use. Seems to print quite quickly and the results are really good - very few fails. The speed and precision can be adjusted easily from the app. I would recommend this 3D printer
