r/AnkerMake

Full rewrite of AnkerCTL in Go, currently in testing. I am currently adding Offline mode and possibly soon will be print levelling, easiest way to get started is to log in using the interface with username and password. There is an option to export the machine codes so that if the eufyMake Servers go down you can still connect. You can now connect usb cameras, you can install on a raspberry pi and attach DHT22 sensors into filament boxes to monitor them etc.

Give it a try:

I wish Anker would publish everything about the internals and firmware for the M5 and M5C so that those of us who bought them could continue to use and improve them.

It would go a long way in helping to restore some goodwill that they lost in abandoning these products.

I'm trying to get my printer to talk to Orca and when i find the IP to make my printer talk to the app nothing happens. i don't know what I'm doing wrong and i can not find any documentation on how to get this working.

Hello, my M5C has served me very well for the past year. However I just switched out the nozzle as I've done many times before and it won't stay in. It sits loosely in the extruder, and when I try extruding the nozzle just gets pushed out.

I know the nozzles I'm using are the right size. Would the cause be the threading on the extruder being stripped? And if so is there any sort of fix or do I need to replace the entire extruder head?

I'm fearing for the worst because I know finding replacement parts is next to impossible, but also its been working just fine for me until I replaced the nozzle just today.

The board on my extruder is finished. Replacement is more than a new printer, so I'm hoping someone on this board is near the greater Seattle area and can take this otherwise excellent printer off my hands and make use of its parts.

Hi,

I have recently started getting consistent transmission errors on my M5 (kickstarter edition). I tried unplugging, cleaning and replugging the usb-c cables underneath and to the head but with no luck.

Are there anything else I can try?

I suspect that it started after I began printing PETG at higher temperatures, but it could just be a coincidence
