Anker has released its second 3D printer, the AnkerMake M5C, which is more affordable at $400 compared to its predecessor. The M5C retains features such as automatic bed leveling, fast printing speeds, and a high resolution, but lacks certain features like an AI camera, filament runout sensor, and a screen. It now comes with an all-metal hotend and a one-piece design for easier setup. The printer can be controlled through Anker's beta software and mobile apps. The M5C aims to address some of the issues faced by the previous model, but the quality control remains a concern.
