A great little printer and unbelievable value for money. Apart from the smaller build plate its probably better than its more expensive counterpart the M5. I sell quite a lot of 3D printed products and this is now my go too printer for speed and ease of use. Highly recommended.
Only takes a few minutes to set up and seems to just keep going and going with no issues.
I was going to buy several items but saw that clued up people could in fact 3D print them themselves. Having looked into it further I saw there were many 3D printers on the market. I saw good reviews for this AnkerMake M5C on YouTube and because it had a discount, purchased one asap. Upon arrival I was impressed with the quality parts. It is simple to set up as it has auto levelling, which can be a problem if you have to do it manually. The first thing I printed was the famous 3D benchy boat. It is a benchmark test to see how your 3D printer performs. It was very good! You can control the printer via an app on your phone or with an app on your computer. So far I’ve printed about 20 things. You can find the designs easily on websites such as Printables and Thingiverse. Not everything printed perfect though and you soon learn that you may have to tinker with different settings, temperatures and filaments to get desired results. This is the case with most 3D printers. But out the box this AnkerMake M5C 3D printer works very well.
AnkerMake do have their own filament but it wasn’t available at the time so I have been using eSUN which has been very good. I’m still learning about 3D printing and think it is a great fun tool to have.
One Liner:
Best, for beginners and advance enthusiasts.
The good:
The printer is amazing specially after the migration from AnkerMake to Prusalicer, the printer speed and amazing accuracy. Auto levelling is specifically outstanding.
There could be better:
The printer could work on its high level of noise sitting around 50 dB And also could work on the ability to make it more upgradable.
The speed is not always as advertise, which is 500 ms
Compared to others:
Everything considered I can’t think of a better printer for a price, that is less than 500 or dollars it has the ability to print multiple filaments. Obviously you would need to have a way to exhaust the toxic smoke, but also the speed the size and everything else making it a perfect choice for everybody.

Having used the Ender 3 pro as a cheap ‘entry level’ printer, I purchased this as my next machine. Although the filament loading is a little fiddly, the machine performs faultlessly. The app driven control software works well (there is no screen in the machine), The printer will work with most slivers, but requires the proprietary Ankermake slicer software to enable WiFi transfer of files to the printer. Can’t really fault it.
I am sol impress with little robot. This is my second 3D Printer, the previous one had a slight defect. It happens!
Returned and re-ordered a second Ankermake MC 5 3D Printer, and, it is now working a treat. Not once, have I used any adhesive on the bedding, on both sides too! Again, only taking 15-20 minutes to assemble and that is very quick!
I’m very happy with everything, the looks, design and the weight. Also, they have an helpful Customer Support Team, to answer any of your questions or FAQ.
I would definitely recommend the AnkerMake MC 5 3D Printer! Many Thanks.
I got started printing easy things that doesn’t require support in no time, fantastic for first timer. However, once I get into more complicated models there’s a little bit of learning curve to keep printed filament on the bed
The printer looks very good, easy to setup, quality of build is really premium, and it’s not my first or second 3D printer. Speed is amazing and quality of prints with that speed are really impressive. It’s very easy to use for begginers (my wife had a go, and she didn’t even want to try with other printers that I used to have) but also dedicated slicer have a lot of expert options, would say more than enough. Had some problems with it on the begging but that was the moment when I realised that this is really premium product. Customer service is amazing, never had such an positive experience with CS, really helpful, response time very good, I really felt that they care about customer and that’s not always the case with makers of 3D printers. All issues solved, even got a few extra bits for free as a apologise, and didn’t even ask for them. On the down side, it’s a bit too noisy, but on other hand which 3D printer isn’t, and if You want to print fast cooling have to be efficient. Overall very good value for money 10/10
