Photon P1

The tilting vat, and self leveling build platform especially have their drawbacks. The tilting vat causing weird failures, generally on prints with large cross sectional surface areas. And the auto leveling build platform just smushes the first few layers, so printing directly on the build platform

As an owner of small print farm I can trully recommend Anycubic P1. Due to special wave film on LCD screen it combines speed of M7 series and standard NFEB release film. Also it hase easy to swap LCD screen and fast swap release film (altrough its pricey) . For unexperienced users there is a lot of

Among the consumer <$1k (USD) printers Elegoo is the most consistent by a wide margin. Anycubic is a bit of a distant second with a higher rate of dropped balls and self-inflicted failures. Phrozen and Uniformation have significant consistency issues and QA problems not commensurate with their premi

DLP is a dead end. Texas Instruments is the only manufacturer of DLP technology and they don’t care about the resin printer market. The LCD makers don’t really care either, but there was more of a push for smaller pixels/larger LCDs. I would wait a year on the P1. Anycubic’s QC record with the curre

The auto leveling is the big drawback. In your shoes, I would buy the Phrozen 12k or the Saturn 3 12k (both are currently on sale). If you have the money, the GK3T, hey gears (but only an 8k screen and locked ecosystem currently), the anycubic P1 and the Phrozen 14k are all highly regarded. 14k scre

If you're going Anycubic the P1 Max is coming out soon with good initial reviews(Fauxhammer). Also, the Jupiter 2 is apparently still coming out from Elegoo(COPIUM). Still, you can check out the P1 Max reviews which all look good. Im considering getting one if the Jupiter 2 still isnt out yet.

I was totally confused with the marketing so I asked Anycubic. The reply I received today was that the P1 by default comes with the single large vat and build plate. If you want to use the dual vat/build plate for some weird reason (I say weird as I can't think of a personal need for that), then you

Cant speak on the cure/wash station. Have had my anycubic p1 for a month or so now. Its my first resin printer since the first elegoo mars came on the scene. The build plate being flat isnt a big deal to me, just dont have a fan going when you scrape the excess resin off itll splatter. Im in florida

1 - My top recommendation is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra either 16k or 12k. Pros and cons of each: 16k has a heated vat which is good for unheated spaces as well as better for engineering resins with higher viscosity which print better heated. 16k only has 3-bit grayscale / 6 usable shades of gray (12

Feels like it is probably rushed because anycubic announced the p1 max and then delayed it to march. Which that felt rushed also because this was announced last year but delayed multiple times. Feel like they both are trying to be first to market with a large printer that actually has a resolution t
