Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)AnkerMake M5C. AnkerMake has since been rebranded eufyMake[1][2]ANYCUBIC Photon Mono M5s[3][4]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$399 as stated on eufyMake's own M5C write-up, checked Aug 2026; that page is a buying guide rather than a live cart listing. 3DJake shows the machine sold out and no longer stocked[2][1]$609.00 on store.anycubic.com, with the compare-at price also $609.00, but marked Sold out, checked Aug 2026. 3DJake also shows it sold out and delisted[3][4]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Cheaper counterpart to the M5. It is smaller (220x220x250 vs 235x235x250), has a higher flow rate (35 vs 24 mm3/s), and drops the 4.3-inch screen, the camera and AI recognition entirely — control is via the app plus a single one-click button. The 500 mm/s figure is a fast-mode claim; the default is 250 mm/s[1][2][5]Older and smaller than the M7 family: 12K LCD (11520 x 5120) vs 14K, 218 x 123 x 200 mm vs 223 x 126 x 230, an LED-matrix light source rather than COB + Fresnel, and 105 vs 150-170 mm/h on high-speed resin. Note Anycubic's spec table lists the machine dimensions in H x W x D order[3][4][6][7]
Market position: superseded? successor announced?3DJake lists it as sold out and no longer stocked; the brand is now eufyMake[1][2]Not documented
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable220 x 220 x 250 mm[1][2]218 x 123 x 200 mm (Anycubic quotes 5.4 L; the table writes it as 200 x 218 x 123 mm in H x W x D order)[3][4]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented460 x 270 x 290 mm (H x W x D per Anycubic; 3DJake writes 270 x 290 x 460 mm)[3][4]
Net weight (kg)Not documented8.9 kg[3][4]
Frame construction & materialDie-cast aluminium-alloy base; eufyMake describes the Z axis as aerospace-grade aluminium alloy[2]Not documented
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen frame[1]Open-frame MSLA with a UV-blocking cover[3]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Cartesian bedslinger with a single Y-axis belt[1]MSLA, single Z axis on double linear guides, straight-lift peel[3][4]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashNot documentedDouble linear guides, 10 um precision[3]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)250 mm/s default; 500 mm/s in high-speed mode (manufacturer figures)[1][2]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)35 mm3/s (manufacturer claim)[2]Not documented
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameDirect-drive extruder[1]Not documented
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)All-metal hotend[2]Not documented
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Up to 300 °C (manufacturer claim)[2]Not documented
Heated Bed & Surface
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedNot documentedLaser-engraved aluminium-alloy build platform[3][4]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)49-point (7 x 7) automatic bed levelling; probe technology not named[2]Levelling-free design[3][4]
Mesh grid size (probe point count — firmware evidence)49 points[2]Not documented
Electronics & Power
Total rated power drawNot documented100 W rated[3][4]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?None. 3DJake's table records "Printer display: None" and eufyMake confirms there is no screen[1][2]4.3-inch TFT touchscreen (control panel — not the masking LCD, see W1)[3][4]
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveWi-Fi; eufyMake also cites Bluetooth for app pairing[1][2]USB Type-A 2.0 and Wi-Fi[3][4]
Camera: built-in / optional? Resolution & framerate (verify — marketing often omits real fps)None. No camera and no AI recognition on this model[1][2]Not documented
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printAssembly kit[1]Not documented
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listPLA, TPU, PETG and others; eufyMake does not publish a closed list[2]405 nm photopolymer resin; no closed compatibility list published on this page[3]
Independently Measured Performance
Dimensional accuracy measurements (third-party, with numbers)Print precision quoted at +/-0.1 mm (manufacturer specification, not an independent measurement)[1][2]Not documented
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCDNot documented10.1-inch monochrome masking LCD at 12K, 11,520 x 5,120 px, 480:1 contrast, XY pixel pitch 19 x 24 um (manufacturer specification)[3][4]
Light sourceNot documentedLED matrix UV light source. Anycubic does not publish wavelength or collimating optics for this model[3][4]
Vertical print speedmm/hNot documented105 mm/h with high-speed resin, 70 mm/h with standard resin (manufacturer claims; Anycubic labels these average printing speeds and does not state the layer height assumed)[3][4]
LCD life & replaceabilityNot documentedSwappable scratchproof screen protector film over the masking LCD. Anycubic publishes no rated screen life in hours[4]
Resin vat & feedingNot documentedUnibody resin vat with scale lines. Capacity not published; no auto-refill and no level sensing stated for this model[3]

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.
