Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)AnkerMake M5. AnkerMake has since been rebranded eufyMake, and ankermake.com now redirects to eufymake.com[1][2]Markforged Onyx One Desktop 3D Printer[3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Paired with the cheaper M5C, which is smaller (220x220x250 vs 235x235x250), has a higher flow rate (35 vs 24 mm3/s) but no screen, no camera and no AI recognition. The M5's headline 500 mm/s is a high-speed-mode figure; its default is 250 mm/s[1][4][2]The defining limitation: the Onyx One prints Onyx only and has NO continuous-fibre reinforcement. The Onyx Pro adds fibreglass, the Mark Two adds the full continuous-fibre range, and the X7 is a much larger industrial machine. Onyx One specifications must never be read from Mark Two or X-series material lists[3][5][6]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?3DJake lists the M5 as sold out and no longer stocked. The brand has been folded into eufyMake[1][2]Not documented

Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)250 mm/s default; 500 mm/s in high-speed mode (manufacturer figures)[1]Not documented
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)5,000 mm/s2 in high-speed mode (manufacturer claim)[1]Not documented
Max volumetric flow claimed (mm³/s)24 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[2]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameDirect-drive extruder[1]Single extruder — plastic only, no fibre channel[3]
Hotend & Nozzle
Heater cartridge power (W)60 W heating block, quoted by AnkerMake as reaching 200 °C[1]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedScratch-resistant PEI-coated magnetic build plate[1]Not documented
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Automatic 7 x 7 levelling; probe technology not named[1]Not documented
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)49 points (7 x 7)[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedProprietary; slicing and print management run in Markforged's cloud-based Eiger software[3]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch colour LCD touchscreen[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveWi-Fi and USB-C[1]Not documented
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)1080p camera with AI recognition and time-lapse[1][2]Not documented
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printAssembly kit; AnkerMake quotes about 15 minutes[1]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documentedOnyx only — Markforged's nylon filled with chopped carbon fibre. Markforged claims parts 1.4x stronger than ABS and heat deflection to 293 °F (145 °C)[3]
Independently Measured Performance
Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers)Print accuracy quoted at 0.1 mm (manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement)[1]Not documented

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
