information – You may know Anker from many smartphone accessories and battery packs, but their latest product seems to be heading in a new direction crowdfundingNot content to just enter the hobby 3d printer market, they are releasing a printer that prints significantly faster than competing products in the same price range. The default print speed is 5 times the normal speed of a comparably priced printer (250 mm/s), and they claim better results than the competition on accuracy benchmarks. They also use direct drive extruders, most prefer Bowen style extruders for better control and less bleed/gap in the print.

I was desperate to see how it worked and woke up in the middle of the night with a failed print and just a pile of plastic spaghetti the worst!
Crowdfunding always means there’s an inherent risk of losing money if a company fails to complete a campaign, but personally, I’ve had more success backing projects from well-known brands like Anker. If you do take the plunge, early bird tickets are still $499 and retail at $759 at launch.
