Printing 3D models can be a time-consuming task, especially for larger or multiple objects. It can take minutes, hours, or even days, depending on the complexity of the design. Manufacturers understand this issue and are racing to create faster 3D printers to tackle the problem. One such company is Chinese-based Anker, who released their first 3D printer, the AnkerMake M5, after a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The AnkerMake M5 claims to be faster than other models on the market, but does it live up to its promises? Make 3/23 tested the device and provides a detailed review of its performance. In addition to the review, the issue also includes an article on how to speed up old 3D printers using Klipper firmware and a Raspberry Pi. The article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure the firmware and maintain print quality at high speeds.
Make 3/23 is available for purchase online or at newsstands. Those looking to purchase the issue can do so until June 8th, with free shipping available. Digital versions of the magazine are also available through their iOS and Android apps. For those looking for a comprehensive table of contents, it can be found on their website.
While 3D printing can be time-consuming, manufacturers are working to increase speed and efficiency. Reviews and tutorials, such as those found in Make 3/23, can help enthusiasts get the most out of their devices and create even more complex designs.
