Nice tutorial, awesome work and also I’m also interested in the green Robot please, I heard you mention that if you don’t forget you would share the information to print one if you didn’t forget, lol, thank you 🙏🏼
Got mine the other day, so your video was timed well……nice and clear tutorial. One thing I noticed that yours didn’t do was when I connected to the WiFi network it prompted me to update my firmware which I did…..now whenever the M5 pre-heats the extruded head rocks back and forth along the X-axis……before I did the update it was stationery. Any one else experience this? And oh yes I also have same problem with feeding in the filament……. Cheers
Thanks a lot your video helped to do the auto level since the nozzle was jamming but after loosing the nozzle and the plate a bit everything was fine. Of all reviews this is the best one!
straight to the point watched the whole video and you covered all the questions i had in my mind about this printer very excited to get mine and start creating and seeing what this printer can do!
Who is us? Are you the gatekeeper of the 3d-printing community? Tell us what kind of magical equipment you're using as you are obviously a professional and way too advanced for this printer, but hey, as long as it brings in more users. This kind of arrogance is what keeps "newbies" away from the hobby.
@@woltervandenberg us as in people who have a little more knowledge than a brand new user. stop being offended over nothing. i use a basic machine because i taught myself how to use a slicer. i dont meed the machine to do all the work for me but i can see how it could be attractive for people who want plug amd play.
So the random little z axis drop on the screen side of the gantry and the bed bumping into the frame 2 times before print starts is a normal thing? I thought my printer was broke lol
I must say... WOW!!!! What a video intro!!! After viewing your entire review, went back to see it again. And... it impressed me MORE on review! That is like major studio production quality!! That MUST have taken you much effort, paired with your mad skillz. Top shelf, Vlad!! Appears to be an impressive, maybe, turnkey 3D printer setup for someone who does not "love" the learning experience that can present itself. You presented the printer well here. Man! That was an hour review! Anker was VERY fortunate that you reviewed, and so attractively, presented their product. But, hey, Anker seems to have done a pretty good job as well. Seems like a tightly coupled 3D printing package.
From my experience from work where I operate industrial 3D resin printers, those connection retention screws for the USB-C connections are not overkill; the amount of connector pin fatigue I see is astounding.
Hej First of all thank you very much for the ver informing and complete video that you have made here.I really learned alot from your video, but I really have trouble connecting to the printer with my computer and my phone is a very old phone!!! does that mean that I can not connect to the internet then!!!? Please help for I have done everything possible , without any good result yet , thank you
Great video, informative and well put together. Would have been nice to hear the difference when lowing the fan speed after the update. Have you been able to make it less annoying? 😊
Did you notice during homing that it goes to the far left and the nozzle doesn’t touch the build plate and it hits the cooling fan and kind of shift the whole thing for a second that’s what mine does and I saw yours did the same thing do you think that’s an issue?
Thanks for this! Received my 3DP a week ago, but have only done single extruder prints with it so far (though it does seem to be noticeably better than the original 3D module). Was wondering how you prepare a model for 2-colour and this showed nicely how to load up two models and align them in Luban. Results looked disappointing, but did you use the Breakaway PLA for the white colour when it is formulated for use as support material? I've been disappointed by the reliability of the machine given the high cost, but fortunately support is good and they have sent me a replacement touch screen and a replacement controller quickly and without quibble.
An $800 bed slinger with POM wheels like cheap Ender and so much ghosting? Resonance compensation would somewhat salvage it, but I doubt it has one. I think they are late to the 3d printing game with this one.
Wheels are PTFE, for what it's worth - not POM. Definitely a poor value proposition at $800, especially against the $700 Bambu P1P. I backed it at $430 on Kickstarter and have been pleased with it at that price, but there have definitely been a lot of issues to work through that make me think it wasn't ready for primetime - especially not at the price they're asking. In its current state, it should cost $450-500. All that being said, once you make up for the factory's poor QC (adjust belts, properly tighten bed wheels, replace flimsy stainless steel hotend screws with 12.9 alloy steel ones, etc.) it prints magnificently. Not as fast as the P1P, but faster than its other non-Bambu contemporaries, all with easier assembly and operation. It would've been a massive hit... at $500... if Bambu didn't launch after them and completely blow up their spot lol
@@PixelatedFancyLads PTFE? So it is an even less rigid motion system. :) I don't understand how you can justify the $500 price point, though. The Sovol SV06 prints magnificently out of the box for $250 + it has a proper motion system with linear rods. Combine that with Klipper and you will be amazed at what results you can get. And comparing the P1P to Anker's 3D printer, I am sorry but it makes M5 look like it was made by armchair engineers, haha!
Thanks Vlad, but 10 years in the 3d printing world…..I recommend Prusa to newbies who aren’t engineers/makers…..perfect prints from day one on hundreds of experiences…..my recent addition of an Anycubic Kobra Max to my predominantly Prusa FDM/SLA farm, awaiting the Prusa XL( delayed by supply chain ), exemplified how far behind many printers are in firmware/tuning. I volunteer 15 hrs/wk helping people with non-working, mainly inexpensive printers……..never Prusa😎 Love Anker…..have dozens of their power banks in use for years.
Hey I work in dental, not trying to promote the company I work with, but I'd check out HeyGears(if you care about FDA cleared materials and printers). To be fair, I'd check out Formlabs, Sprint Ray, and Desktop Health. Me personally, I really like our desktop printer Chairside Pro.
Vlad- another great detailed video! Thank you for the time and effort that you put into your reviews. As far as the M5 I was truly impressed with the build quality and design through the first part of your video. Unfortunately things went downhill fast when you got to the printing. To put it simply the print quality is poor. The ringing at all speeds is unacceptable for a printer at the price they want for it. If my 2 Super Racers put out that kind of print quality I would get rid of them and take up a new hobby! Gerry
Interesting printer… can you do a video taking it out of the box and setting it up? I’m curious what is involved in getting it from boxed up to printing.
$799 for this is pretty ridiculous and anyone who would spend that should just opt for the same priced Bambu p1p. With that said, this printer AND the p1p should be under $499.
Too Pricey for my taste... it works out at £749 for the UK ordering from their web site since it is Not on Amazon UK. It is up there with the other super pricey 3 D Printers by Prusa. Only brought by users whom are well off. even Prusa Filaments are pricey. Not a choice for the normal users since this printer and Prusa's are so high priced. Maybe a good printer, But at that price too high for most users to afford.
From what I can find, £749.00, way way over priced. And watching their video of the printed kid's toy, that is obviously not 3D printed, I think this one is a miss.
what are you talking about lol it's a traditional bed slinging 3d printer. It's cheaper then the bambu labs X1 and for what you get out of the box (unique form of ABL, camera, built in software, AI that can detect when 99% of your prints fail, all metal hot end, nice touch screen, wireless use, prints as fast as klipper, and more) that is not a bad price at all. Prusa is selling bed slingers for 1000 dollars that dont even have half these features yet I bet you fanboy over them lol. Anker and Bambu Labs are both well worth the asking prices.
@@RuskiVodkaaaa I am with you there. Thats the right think to say for someone who knows the market. The ghosting is bad !! I dont think can play some way thru settings with input shaping but is looking bad,can mess a lot of your prints.Bambu labs has this problem also but they trying and fixing thinks. For many people looks expensive but I ve spend more then that in a popular 3d printer and cant get even near that.
@@RuskiVodkaaaa I have an old AM8 that I built years ago,, has everything this printer has apart from the cam, you could make a cam with and old phone over wifi, and have done in the past. the speed can get pretty close to what this can do. And why waste so much money when you could get one that has a lot bigger build plate. When you see the bullsh1t video they put out, put me off straight away. you want one, go get it. A lot of printer manufacturers are now completing with each other, and at the price of this one, they need to drop the price.

Great unpack and review video mate, thanks ! I am going to buy one oh can you give the link for the Robot printfile , i love him so much

Thanks for this video. I just got this printer and I am 100% new to 3d printing. Very helpful
Video quality, clear explanation and details are excellent. Thanks. I hope we can find you on every subject we are curious about.

this has literally no advantage over the bambu p1p
at 800 dollars no newbie will buy it though they will buy 200 dollar ender
The back cover i originally thought was a backup battery. That would be neat so during an outage it would still work

They should have put linear rails on the x axis
Great video, informative and well put together. Would have been nice to hear the difference when lowing the fan speed after the update. Have you been able to make it less annoying? 😊
Thank you for sharing the unboxing experience. It helped me box my unit back up so I could return it.
I was just thinking the same thing.
The machine is beautiful, prints are great, but extremely loud, among other issues I am having.
just checking you can only change one of the belts on the y
Another tip on threading the filament is to straighten around 2" at the lead. Never snags on me.
Thanks for this. Do you know if it switches off after printing when left overnight please? Thanks.
I just ordered mine and it should be in on Wednesday, March 1st. Too bad I was late with the Kickstart program, I would have got 2.
Did you notice during homing that it goes to the far left and the nozzle doesn’t touch the build plate and it hits the cooling fan and kind of shift the whole thing for a second that’s what mine does and I saw yours did the same thing do you think that’s an issue?
You're gonna make me buy one ughhhh
I hope I will get respond to it, what if you have not internet at home for your update, one can use USB to printer your vector images, is that right?
Great review
Didn't take it apart to see whats inside I wonder why.
That was a quick good video today

$800 with no enclosure or linear rails :/

New marlin firmware supports input shaping to correct for resonance, but the M5 is using an older build of marlin without support for that 😢
trust me the price is worth it aswel as reliability, quality, and speed.
best review! thank you!
all the wheels and belts not being adjusted properly at the factory is going to be a deal breaker for new users..
This printer any good or worth buying

Love Anker…..have dozens of their power banks in use for years.
i had the prusa mini it was the dearest yet worst printer i ever had quality was terrible
Thanks for the review, but who, in their right mind, would pay the amount the company is asking for? Explicitly for a 235x235 printer.
So is it faster
I WANT ONE SO BAD!!
Since i cnt afford it, Im consuming videos of it xD
Why don't most of these printers have 90-264v PSUs? They all seem to have a voltage selector that could be an accident waiting to happen. 🙂
Vlad, you sent me the wrong file. It was of a rocket. I'd like the vase one please.
not sure what vase your talking about but here are a bunch to choose from: www.thingiverse.com/search?q=vase+&page=1&type=things&sort=relevant

What is the best type of anycubic printers? I will use it in the dental field

Best looking bed slinger printer and some cool features but sub par prints at any speed. Too expensive for the quality of prints.
Interesting printer… can you do a video taking it out of the box and setting it up? I’m curious what is involved in getting it from boxed up to printing.
Isn’t that what video we’re watching?
@@straybricks would you look at that! Ask and ye shall receive
It almost sounds like it's using compressed air instead of a fan.
Geez. Did Anker send you the “Colossal Academy Award” intro?
You need to leave well enough alone, instead of finding problems that don't exist.
why do you review this and not the bambu p1p?
$799 for this is pretty ridiculous and anyone who would spend that should just opt for the same priced Bambu p1p. With that said, this printer AND the p1p should be under $499.
🔥💕👍
be pain to stop the print midway - it will be actively trying to avoid you
at this price... just get the Bambu Lab P1P...
Great printer if you can get the filament going ! Absolutely the worst printer to load
