AnkerMake M5 3D Printer(Renewed), High-Speed, Speed Upgraded to 500 mm/s, Fast Mode, Smooth Detail, Easy to Use for Beginners, Error Detection with AI Camera, Auto-Leveling

I bought this machine "renewed" to save some $ knowing it was potentially used hoping the amazon renew policy was true...that's really where my problem is, the policy states "this product is refurbished and fully functional" that was not the case , when I assembled the machine it's was inoperable due to the previous owner jamming filament between the runout sensor and extruder. That should not be the case in a fully functional machine. It's not a big deal to fix and worth the $100 off but buyer be ware they are not sent back for evaluation.The machine itself functions as advertised. It's extremely impressive how clean it is, fast it run and how accurate the prints come out. The software gui still needs work with its alignment on different size monitors for example my mouse arrow has to be almost 1/2 inch above an icon to get it to highlight and function. The machine does need some adjustments out of the box to give you the best experience like adjustments to belts or wheels as they may be too tight or loose. The ankermake site has a lot of good vids for most situations you'll encounter. Everyone complains about the volume of the fans...to me it's not bad at all just white noise you'll get use too. The machine otherwise is nice and smooth and quiet. If you want fast prints you need fast cooling. The usb c flash drive port is a bad choice in my opinion. Most humans have a standard usb drive having to have a special one just for this is annoying. And creates a real risk with that thing sticking up out of the machine. Sending prints wirelessly direct from the slicer is awesome tho and the machine runs them independently once sent so if your computer crashes after it doesn't affect the machine. You then can make adjustments via the mobile app, machine gui or back on computer app. Overall it's a great machine with room for improvement but as is it does what it claims and is very impressive.

Every print no matter what kind of filament i use ends up a mess and i really couldnt be more upset. I've wasted about $120 in filament and have not a single model to show for it. Moral of the story is dont be cheap, just buy it new. I know i will upon the return.

The printer has very high quality prints and easy to setup

My printer came with a distroyed cable. This is not a refurbished protuct!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased a renewed unit hoping for the best, and had Amazon not marketed it as renewed I would have been hard pressed to tell.While other reviews hint at issues with renewed units, mine was fully functional without any hassle. One’s mileage may vary but I felt it necessary to post something positive to the renewed category of this item.I have been a long time fan of other Anker products such as their external batteries and cables and this product meets those same standards.Online you will find plenty of complaints saying there are better printers, which I am sure is true. However if you’re looking to 3D print basic, practical items with no hassle, I find it hard to believe this item wouldn’t fit the bill.With a community that has developed products such as ankerctl, the abilities of the printer are extended far beyond what is advertised.TLDR: An excellent, simple 3D printer.

A great machine, but the AI camera not good

So far not so good, wrong size screws included in product, I'm sure they would let me return whole thing but thats a huge pain rather than just going and getting correct screws. Just annoying and sloppy on their partupdate: did not get replacments screws from seller, so found some at specialty fastner store. It's assembled but not working, as it seems the filament won't feed through the gears. Have tried all the troubleshooting instructions, which are not great need more detail and pictures, still not working

Does not work, have been working to resolve with tech support. I think buy new
