We cannot get the diff. lock system to work - major mods needed (seems to be a common issue) and it is wickedly expensive for a plastic chassis and very thin body.

    Awesome, thanks for sharing, love to see each iteration of my model, as it inspires for more improvements in the future :) Little update since the last time, I made a new version, that apart from other changes, addresses the same issue you had with the rear overhang. The reason why I originally modelled it like this was to keep the original geometry and hardware from the kit. Newer model further improves compatibility, but also adds modularity, which allows for more customisation.

    I just got the m5c. The sale was insane on it. I'm still trying to dial it in as most my prints are failing. Whenever I print something from the app it's fine, but when I print it from the slicer it doesn't work. it's still really solid and when the prints work they are way better than my old printer.

    Are you using the old slicer or have you moved to the newer Ankermake Studio. Just set some TPu to print here. Try turning your build plate over (just in case its dirty).

    That is awesome!!! I have one that I converted, threw my own axles under it, and has powered ramps and landing gear. It works well, but it is super short, which is ok, I like the way it turned out (a video of it is on my channel). I am in the process of building another, I have a new trailer (with ramps this time), and I want to extend it out a ways. How much did you add to the middle? How did you cut it? Looking for a good method to get it square from the get-go.

  • @ModelMarvels
    @ModelMarvels4 ай бұрын

    Thanks. we will check yours out when we get the chance. Don't worry to much about cutting the trailer straight although a sliding mitre saw would make life easier, as you will be able to hide an uneven cut when you lay in the new deck piece or even recover the whole deck. It's long gone now but measuring from the video we cut in 2/3 the length of the original deck (so if the deck was 30cm we added in 20cm roughly). Hope this helps.

    HI. Disagree. In the Uk the Ankermake is often discounted to around £330, the Bambu A1 is £509 with the AMS Lite and still £369 without. If it were not for the large build plate on the Bambu it would be going back. The AnkerMake produces equal if not better prints (certainly more often) than the Bambu. It is early days for the Bambu and we have only completed about 40 hours of printing but we are not liking the vibrations the Bambu causes in everything around it - a 10kg laser printer on the same heavy duty stand is getting vibrated beyond belief. Also bambu only accept returns of boxed unused items. In short don't believe the hype of all the paid promotions out there.

  • @redavatar

    Plastic by itself is not a bad thing. It brings down weight on the print head ergo less artefacts on your prints. Plastic on the body is irrelevant since it doesn't impact print quality so I wouldn't actually hold that against it. I was initially interested in the M5c as well and very nearly ordered it but with the A1 Mini being announced the temptation of multi colour prints was too high - I now have both the A1 Mini and the A1 and they're really wonderful printers. After printing for 5 years on various machines, this is the first printer where I hit print & don't even bother checking the first layer.

  • @ModelMarvels
    @ModelMarvels7 ай бұрын

    No argument here, although all the use of plastic does mean the A1 shakes a sturdy table enough to cause other items to "walk"; the Ankermake is just so solid! Both printers are a step above the likes of Tronxy, Elegoo and other bed slingers. I think these are printers number 13 and 14 in a long list and both are excellent, they just take slightly different approaches to achieve the same result. Looking forward to printing the same filament at the same speed on each machine to see which wins. The Bambu workflow is really good but pipped by the Ankermake (at least it was until they replaced their Beta slicer with the Studio version). Both machines print flawlessly although I am already noticing an issue with prints not releasing from the bed on the Bambu. First printer was the Eaglemoss Partwork, back in 2015 which seems a lifetime ago - glad things have improved, hehe.
