I can't imagine anyone buying their future printers, UV or otherwise, after they left all their previous customers high and dry without a second thought.

I'm mostly an anker fan; i feel the 10 or so products I have from them are fairly priced and generally a solid choice. I got replacement parts for my eufy robo vac after 5 years - quick, easy and the price absolutely fair. It's still chugging. The cables are solid. after 10 years, the mouse really looks like it wants to go into retirement, but it still works. I got a powerbank once that failed way too quickly, but otherwise...

Personally, i am happy to pay whatever is necessary to get a well-thought through, durable product and am happy to forgo unnecessary whistles and bells. But i'm old-fashioned.

It seems to me that this decision is not aligned with the values Anker otherwise exhibits, and i would think that this was not an easy decision for them to make. Personally, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Could be that they are out of their water with 3d printers and let it be, but i would expect generous support or other compensation wherever they can provide it.

Okay i realize now i am breaking a lance to refute a one-comment bot 🤐

I own a broken M5 and in my dealings with support they offered me 15% off buying a new unit which I don't even know how I would use. I really liked the printer but this experience has taught me to never trust them for anything more complicated than a power bank
