Looking for a perfect 3D printer, Anker’s first 3D printer might end your search. Anker is basically known for its charging products, but now it is entering the 3D Printing business. The name of their 3D printer is AnkerMakeM5 and is a quality product so far. Expanding their area of business to 3D printers is needed when the so-called 3D printers that are available aren’t able to fulfil the requirements of people. Anker claims that its new 3D printer M5 is able to solve many serious issues that other available printers are unable to perform. And the most critical of them is speed.
Anker’s M5 is easy to set up and needs only 15 minutes to start printing. This printer by Anker is designed to consume less time and more output for its users. The primary speed of the M5 3D printer is 250mm/s which is used when the printing work is detailed and needs to be smoother which is five times faster than other 3D printers. Otherwise, it can speed up to 2500 mm/s2 when put to speedier mode to print fast but this speed is for those works that do not need clarity in printing such as prototypes. If you see then the printer is good for both kinds of work, one that needs detailed work and another that needs speed. But if the speed is concerned, M5 has been enabled by Anker to reduce the printing time up to 70 percent than the competition and that is a big deal.
The other features of it that will make you willing to go for this 3D printer are that it has a built-in Al-powered camera that will monitor the printing work and makes the supervision easy for you. With the Anker Mobile app, monitoring the work is a lot easier as you can see live printing on your phone. Its supervision feature sends you an alert on your phone when there is an issue in printing.
