Dear Ankermake M5 recipients,

To help you better understand and utilize M5, we have put together a brief informational article that we hope will be helpful to you.

Important: Read Before Assembling

Yes, we know that it can be a pain to read the instructions, but we've received some messages about the damage that has been caused due to improper assembly. Before setting up M5, please read the quick start guide.

Note: Please pass the cable under the gantry frame through the bottom plate hole before the silver brackets are installed onto the base.

Download the AnkerMake App and the AnkerMake Slicer

Please download the Ankermake App from the Google Play Store or App Store.

The beta version of the AnkerMake Slicer can now be downloaded from the AnkerMake Software Support page.

Set Up the AnkerMake App and Update the Firmware

After downloading, follow the app operation guide to set up the AnkerMake App and update the firmware. Keep your M5 firmware up to date for the best experience! 

Note: The firmware takes several minutes to update. Once you see a red dot in the right corner, the firmware update is finished. An "Update" window will pop up. Click "Update" to finish, and your M5 now has the latest version.
