WE NOW HAVE AN INSTALL SCRIPT (YAY!)...
This repository holds the latest version and updates to AnkerMake community profiles initially developed and maintained by @just-trey. We have decided to continue to support these profiles to allow users an alternative to the official profiles provided by AnkerMake. You can install these profiles alongside the built-in AnkerMake profiles. Why not install both and see which one you prefer?
Please note that the FAST included is not the max acceleration and speed the M% can perform. Higher speed can be achieved by adjusting the speed and acceleration. We found the setting (thanks @Xelinor) provided to be the best compromise for quality vs. speed.
We have z-lift disabled by default as it impacts print times. If you find your nozzle scraping surfaces or plan on using ironing, enabling z-lift is highly recommended. We recommend a .25 z-lift height.
I have spent about two weeks tuning these profiles (while working a regular full-time job as well), and there is not enough time to ensure everything is perfect. Most of my tests have been run using PLA+ AnkerMake Gray filamentt. Please let me know if you find or dial in any setting that produces a higher quality or better result for any setting. You can fork the repo and make a PR, or if you are not comfortable with that, find me on the AnkerMake community discord and share your config with me. I am @just-trey.
- The speed multiplier (ex x1.8) is not correct.
- Changing speeds via the touch screen or app after printing starts is not working
The configuration authors strongly believe there is no "one size fits all" profile. These profiles provide an excellent base to get started, but we highly encourage users to learn and adjust their slicer settings to suit their use case.
You have 3 ways provided to install the profiles:
- Scripted Install
- Manual Install
- Import Profiles (only recommended for installing into AnkerMake_alpha slicer and Super Slicer)
For all options, be sure to download PrusaSlicer-AMCE-Profile.zip
We now provide Bash and Powershell scripts to make installing/updating these profiles easier.
Run ./install.sh or ./install.ps1 to install/update the profiles.
- Extract the zip files (Our example uses the download directory)
- Open the terminal/PowerShell window
cd ~/Downloads/PrusaSlicer-AMCE-Profile- On windows, depending on your Execution policy, you may need to change the execution policy to run the powershell script. Use the following to change
the execution policy for the current terminal session only by opening a powershell prompt in the current directory and then typing
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process - run
./install.sh(mac/Linux) or.\install.ps1(windows) - Add the printer
- Open PrusaSlicer
- Under the Help Menu, choose "Show Configuration Folder" (keep this folder open for the next several steps).
- Close out of PrusaSlicer
- Extract the zip file to a location of your choice and open the folder.
- Copy the "vendor" folder to the Configuration folder you opened in step two.
- Add the printer
- Extract the zip file to a location of your choice and open the folder.
- Open the AnkerMake Alpha slicer
- Go to File -> Import -> Import Config Bundle
- Locate 'AMCE_config_bundle.ini' in the extracted zip location and click open.
- On the printer setting panel, select 'AnkerMake M5 (0.4 nozzle) @AMCE', then choose the filament and Print settings you would like to use.
- Open PrusaSlicer and you should now be able to add a new AnkerMake M5 CE Printer. (printer Settings tab → Printer drop-down → Add/remove printers
- In the Configuration Wizard, choose Other Vendors:
- Select the AnkerMake CE Checkbox
- Select AnkerMake CE FFF under the left menu
- Ensure the check mark next to the 0.4 mm nozzle is enabled.
- In the left Navigation, select Filaments and then select all available filaments.
- Once you have added any other printers or made changes, click Finish on the Configuration wizard.
Printing files via wifi is supported but not directly from PrusaSlicer. You may print via wifi using the AnkerMake Slicer.
- Slice and save your gcode to a location of your choice
- Make sure your AnkerMake M5 printer is on and connected to wifi
- Open the AnkerMake Slicer
- Click on the Device tab
- Click on the My Computer icon and select your sliced file.
- Click print underneath the device details.
I want to give special thanks to @dmbaio and @TheMasterOfTech for ideas, input, and inspiration and @spuder for some PRs that make all our lives easier.
