The AI function can identify most of the printing failures (Such as the first layer of non-stick, spaghetti, plug air punching, split layer printing) during the printing process, in order to store the information for future prints. This can help customers improve printing efficiency and reduce material waste.

• Camera permissions (View online video,Time-lapse video)

6. How many M5 can be added to the App?

No more than 99 AnkerMake M5
 

7. How many minutes between the AI detection and the APP notification

Usually, it will be within 10 minutes. The larger the printing area of each layer of the model, the longer it will take to find the error;
