Customer Ratings & Reviews

My first 3d printer and I love this printer. I like the camera and light added so i can check print on mobile app. The only thing that bugs me about this printer it's loud but thats not the worst thing. Its really easy to setup and to start printing. The wuality of this thing is really nice it feels soild and heavy. The peice is a little steep but I was lucky enough to get it on sale. Definitely worth the high price tag.

I recently purchased the Ankemake M5 3D printer for my 9-year-old, and I'm thrilled with it! The print quality is outstanding, producing highly detailed and precise objects. The printer is high-speed, making it perfect for both hobbyists and professionals. The built-in camera and AI monitoring are fantastic features, allowing me to keep an eye on my prints remotely. Thanks to its user-friendly design, even my 9-year-old figured out how to print with it. The only minor downside is the lack of SD card slots, but overall, the Ankemake M5 is a game-changer in 3D printing!

I LOOOOOOVE IT! This 3D printer is amazing! I had doubts but that was my own fault with software editing and doing what I needed what was best for my prints to come out right and they all did! With YouTube videos and a little bit of time and knowledge into this sucker! I love it and I was able to make custom prints for my HO SCALE TRAIN MODELS! Especially a New Mexico rail runner station and the camera helps when I’m far away and the point is 2 hours or more I can go out and about to do what I need while the printer is doing the work for me and when I get home BOOM done but only thing I’d love for this printer to have is a shut down mode when your print is done and your a few miles away and the machine stays on which would be cool to turn it off when I’m far from the machine so then machine can cool down but anyways 5 STARS and those that have been complaining about it with awful prints. It’s just because they have to edit the way it needs to print and adding support to the 3-D printing so for those that are new beginners, please watch videos and remember to add supports to your projects because if the print is gonna go overboard, it needs to have supports.! Thanks anker make! Also I made a breaking bad vehicle from the show which shows THE RV!

The printer is functioning well overall. However, the AI detection feature is currently not operational. I’ve completed several prints with it, and while the software is being gradually updated, improvements are expected over time. It’s important to note that this is not a beginner-friendly printer. Achieving high-quality prints requires manual adjustments and a solid understanding of 3D printing settings. That said, I was able to launch a small business using this printer AA_3dprintz on Instagram so despite the learning curve, it has proven to be a valuable tool with the right effort and experience.

This is my first 3D printer so I have nothing to compare it to. That being said, this is the best printer for beginners and still has many features that an expert would probably like as well. If you are wanting to buy it mainly for the AI feature then you will be disappointed as using it will cause a ton of notifications and failed prints so it needs some work still. I love the auto leveling feature and it's ease of use all around. Another good thing is the smart phone app, you can easily print from anywhere. I would but this again for sure. I did but it during a Best Buy drop so it was a good bit cheaper then. Was also nice that it came with a small roll of filament and the took kit is extremely nice as well, would suggest printing the tool kit holder so it does not get lost as it will probably be very handy.

This machine is amazing. It’s relatively quiet, and the quality of 3D prints is exceptional. The software is easy to use and relatively good for new users. We’ve run through three reels of PLA and had zero problems (a few bad prints were due to poor model design and not the M5. Extremely pleased with AnkerMake.

As my introduction to 3d printing, I was scared, but it has been easier than I ever expected. The setup was a breeze and the touch screen makes it even smoother. It has been a learning curve getting into the more intricate projects, but the printing is consistent and smooth and the program makes it even easier for beginners and readily available expert settings for the more advanced. It came with a small starter spool of filament to try right out of the box, which was great, and its own tool kit for any necessary adjustments. It's been a steady and reliable workhorse for all my projects.

This is the 3rd AnkerMake printer I have bought in the last 6 months. These printers are awesome!! They do exactly what I need them to do. Very affordable price as well. The slicer program is very user friendly as well. Overall great product!

This is my first 3D printer I have ever been around let alone used. I spent quite a bit of time reading about 3D printers and the different products available out in the market. Some of what i read made me concerned as im not very mechanically/technically inclined and i was worried about setting up the printer and using the software. (The horror stories some people had with some other 3d printers that i read about were well… Horribe…). I purchased the AnkerMake M5 through BestBuy as i figured the totaltech membership could be a godsend in this situation if things went wrong. The printer arrived well packaged and the best two words I could think of to describe it is that it is OUTRIGHT AMAZING. I pretty much have it running non-stop and i don’t understand how I previously have had gone through life without the AnkerMake M5. It was extraordinarily simple to setup and the ease to find and print items on the M5 has been so painless and trouble-free that i almost feel like i should be paying AnkerMake every time i print something (not a paid advertisement fyi… just a well deserved excellent review for an excellent product). I do think the totaltech membership and the benefits that membership provides is worth buying the M5 through BestBuy. But the M5 does come with additional accessories (such as nozzles and silicon covers as free gifts) when it is purchased directly from AnkerMake’s website. I wish i got those as well when i made my purchase from Best Buy. But i’m not losing sleep over that…I’m only losing sleep over the joys of using this 3D Printer.

I never knew I wanted this, it was a gift for my birthday and I absolutely am hooked. The set up is super easy and the design is very clean and user-friendly. My prints have come out quickly and I really haven’t had a hard time at all. I enjoy this and it’s quite a addicting, actually. Highly recommend.

Ive been around 3d printers for a few years now but never seen one so fast. I was skeptical as was my engineer dad. Needless to say I’ve been very impressed with the printer and the quality of the prints. Only had one small, easy to fix issue feeding the filament into the extruder. The filament got caught in a small gap between the print head and tubing.

Fast printing, great quality, easy to set up and begin using. Definitely worth the purchase!

The M5 3D Printer is the one i have been waiting for. The speed is unmatched(5x faster i dont think so) but definitely fast. I have noticed some of the reviews disappear her which i think is odd. But i will address some of the concerns of low ratings i read before they were gone. This printer like others reacts completely different with different filament brands. I have adhesion issues with HATCHBOX Pro filament , the resolution is change to expert mode adjust the bed temp to 80 at start 60 during print. Up the temp to 260 for the initial row and 220 through out the print. Change the initial layer from .14 to .16. Save the settings a different name. This will work for HATCHBOX Pro and Overture Pro filaments great. Standard HATCHBOX filaments work great with the default PLA+ settings . Hope this helps folks with issues. I have had this running for about 8 hours a day for the last week with some outstanding results.

Great little 3d printer. Easy to use and works really well. Had some filament jam issues, but im sure that was just user error. Was a easy fix. Fastest 3d printer that i own.

This machine has opened new doors for me, taught me so much and I’ve started a small business from what I’ve created with it! Makes it super easy for new comers like me to make some dreams come true. Revolutionary product right here if you ask me, oh and also the app through your phone that controls this as a whole? EASY PEASY. Such a blessing to my life and I only wish I got one sooner. Wish I had two !!

This 3D printer is a very reliable machine. Easy to set up and quality of prints are up to my standards. I can’t thank enough my favorite store to purchase tech BEst Buy! Never failed me in regards of the tech I need. Happy with my purchase so far!

I was totally new too 3D Printing but after doing some digging and comparing, this machine was a perfect way to get started with my new hobby! This has been a SOLID purchase from making toys for my nephews to jewelry for my wife and everyone is always eager to see what I'll print up next! I've been recommending this printer since the day I purchased it!

The printer is decent for a beginner but will be returning because of some issues that have made it a bit of a hassle to use. Issues include that it constantly disconnects from WiFi and you have to power it on and off to reconnect. Also filament gets easily stuck and is difficult to remove to switch colors. The motor is also extremely loud and we can hear it between 2 closed doors on opposite ends of the house. Not exactly something you want if you have a big print job that has to go through the night. Otherwise the software is good for beginners learning about 3d printing and is relatively easy to learn.

New to 3D printing and this printer has been a great first. Easy setup, instructions, and great prints with default settings. Still a ton to learn, but it has been fun. Be warned though, this will lead to buying a lot of extras. Lol
