Photon P1

Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

Not sure why anyone would use that plastic crap they send with the printer. Mine goes straight in the bin whenever I get a new S4U and I have 4. I printed a hanging bracket and I hang my plate to drip inside it without taking the plate off completely. The printer has a like a lip under the screen to

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-

Did it start to fail at the back and split moving forward like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/comments/1n8gh14/help_with_st_flex_black_70a_parts_of_print_stop/ If so it is partially because the resin stretches and the tilt stroke of the S4U is shorter at the back than the front. Fixes are roug

That was my guess too, until the Anycubic P1 Max $900 pre-order. We know the J2 has a funky FEP quick swap system, but Anycubic have been dialing in their force sensors for a while now - and apparently have been cooking with the P1 Max, so the J2 has its work cut out if it only offers better FEP swa

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 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

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

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
