AnkerMake M5 3D Printer Claims To Print Five Times Faster,

JAKARTA - Anker, an electronics company known for battery packs and docking stations, is now launching its first 3D printer, the AnkerMake M5 on Tuesday, April 5.

The M5 started out as a Kickstarter project, where people promised money for the development of a product, although in practice, was often treated as a pre-order shop.

For your information, Kickstarter is the largest public funding platform in the world. The mission of this company is to help bring creative projects to human life

Launching Cnet, the company says the M5 can print five times faster than standard 3D printers, with a print speed of 250 millimeters per second. For reference, the best printer, Anycubic Vyper, has an average print speed of around 80 mm/s.

The M5 has a built-in 1080p camera that will record time-lapse videos of the print in progress and make it easy to post to social media.

In addition, the M5 also has a build area of 235 by 235 by 250mm, which places it right in the center of the packaging for a mainstream 3D printer and is equipped with PEI-coated flexible steel sheet.

With the camera, it can help monitor your prints remotely. Anker claims its built-in AI will notify you if a print fails via an app installed on your phone.

This application also allows you to link multiple printers together. AnkerMake even has Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice control to start and stop printing.

Another feature in the M5 is the filament runout sensor to detect when materials are damaged or depleted. The AnkerMake M5 will debut on Kickstarter starting April 6. The initial pre-order price is only US $ 429 or equivalent to IDR 6.06 million. While the final retail price is 759 US dollars or IDR 10.6 million.
