The dual color/material is just one configuration of the printer. You can also use it with 1 large vat and 1 large build plate. Then it makes a lot more sense. There is also nothing stopping other brands of releasing an aftermarket split vat / build plate. https://store.anycubic.com/pages/photon-p1-

Apparently we want a split plate because that’s what Anycubic is doing on the P1. And I see ‘we’ as in other people…

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

Kobras are cheaper and very comparable. I use both. While I prefer Bambu over anycubic slightly, the price can’t be beat with it. Slicers are pretty much identical. They are upgrading the ace units, which was by far the weakest point in them. For Bambu? I rub P1 series, P2, and have 2 H2Cs. If money

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.

The Kobra X doesn't move around. It feels fairly substantial to me, and you'd really have to push speeds that frankly bedslingers aren't capable of to get it to wobble like that. I've had mine for maybe about 2 weeks now and I love it. No bed issues, no Clogging, amazing! Top finish and overall the

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

Anycubic has some new kobras that are suppose to be more efficient on waste and faster. Waiting for them to arrive. I have 2 H2Cs (we sell a lot and run about 30 printers). I love them. The waste saved and leaving my prices as is, so I will have a higher markup, will have them pay for themselves qui

I was a bit annoyed when I heard that this was happening after backing the P1 on Kickstarter. I managed to get that for about £350, with the refund and the voucher factored in. Seeing it now I doubt I would have gone for the Max if that had come first. I was willing to risk the £350 but not double t
