Exciting Updates on AnkerMake Software
Heyfellow makers,
We know you've been waiting for this, and we're happy to introduce new updates to the firmware, AnkerMake Slicer, and AnkerMakeApp coming this week.
AI Detection Changes
The main thing you'll notice is more accurate error detection, reducing wasted time and filament.
Previously, theAI camera compared every layer of the print with the original file and alerted you if the layers were below standard. Now, the AI camera checks successive layers and only sends an alert if multiple layers are below standard.
In addition, you'll notice atoggle and sensitivity setting that you can adjust. You can also choose if you want your3D printer to pause when an error is detected.
