| Class | BEDSLINGER | COREXY |
| 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] | Voron Trident, current revision R2. Sold as "Voron Trident R2 3D Printer Kit by LDO"[3] |
| Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry) | Not documented | $1,274.99 for the LDO kit at Fabreeko, on pre-order with a mid-to-late September ship estimate, checked Aug 2026. Fabreeko's live product feed shows the Trident kit at $1,199.99 and unavailable, so the figure depends on which variant is selected[3][4] |
| 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][5][2] | Two size variants on the LDO kit: Rev D 250 mm and Rev D+ 300 mm. Distinguished from the Voron 2.4 by the Z system: Trident has a fixed gantry with three Z motors lifting the bed, while the 2.4 lifts the gantry on four belted Z motors. Colour options black, space grey, blue[3][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| Market position: superseded?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 |
| Physical & Frame | ||
| Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable | 235 x 235 x 250 mm[1][2] | 250 x 250 x 250 mm or 300 x 300 x 300 mm depending on variant. Sortable value is the 300 mm kit[3] |
| Frame construction & material | Not documented | Aluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame, self-assembly[3] |
| Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lid | Open frame[1] | Not documented |
| Kinematics & Motion Hardware | ||
| Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other) | Cartesian bedslinger[1] | CoreXY with a fixed gantry; three independent Z stepper motors raise the bed and perform bed levelling[3] |
| Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlash | Not documented | Three independent Z stepper motors under the bed[3] |
| Stepper drivers (exact model e.g. TMC2209; UART/SPI; sensorless homing?) | Not documented | LDO Leviathan board: 5 x TMC2209 plus 2 x TMC5160 HV-capable drivers[3] |
| Speed & Acceleration | ||
| 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 name | Direct-drive extruder[1] | Bondtech Integrated Drive Gear Assembly (IGDA) with a Clockwork 2 motor[3] |
| Hotend & Nozzle | ||
| Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?) | Not documented | E3D Revo High Flow with a 60 W heater[3] |
| Heater cartridge power (W) | 60 W heating block, quoted by AnkerMake as reaching 200 °C[1] | 60 W (E3D Revo High Flow heater in the LDO kit)[3] |
| Heated Bed & Surface | ||
| Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sided | Scratch-resistant PEI-coated magnetic build plate[1] | LDO bed heater with a pre-installed magnet sheet and edge-to-edge heating[3] |
| 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] | Omron inductive probe supplied; Klicky-mod parts also included in the kit[3] |
| Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence) | 49 points (7 x 7)[1] | Not documented |
| Electronics & Power | ||
| Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist) | Not documented | LDO Leviathan control board; Nitehawk SB USB toolhead board with an integrated accelerometer[3] |
| Firmware & Openness | ||
| Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary) | Not documented | Klipper[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-drive | Wi-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 |
| LED chamber/toolhead lighting | Not documented | COB LED chamber lighting included[3] |
| Calibration Routines & QoL | ||
| Assembly level & time from unbox to first print | Assembly kit; AnkerMake quotes about 15 minutes[1] | Self-assembly kit[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.
