Photon Mono M5s Pro

I dont know about them But mine is the Anycubic M5s pro wich has auto leveling etc. And it costs around 300 bucks Wich for a 3D printer is pretty affordable

You are fighting 2 issues here (as is typical), leveling, and lack of wait times. Iirc, the M5S Pro is an auto leveling printer, so you’re already off to a bad start. These printers don’t actually level, something ‘floats’. On Anycubic printers it’s the LCD. So no matter how much you level the build

Look for a printer with some form of assisted levelling, a load sensor to detect fails. As a foundation these two imo are really the only quality of life features to come to resin printing since mono screens. A nice bonus feature to look for is exposure calibration. If the printer you end up on does

Just my two cents. I have the ultra 16k and have had zero issues with the drip tray and zero issues leveling the build plate. As far as screen replacement, I did a screen on my anycubic m5s pro and I had to take a significant amount of it apart. I'm not sure why that's such a deal breaker. It's defi

Just don’t rely on their “AI” detection. It’s a joke. Remote viewing is great though. The reality is it takes so many layers just to get the build plate above the vat even if they fixed their AI detection you’re still quite a way into a print before you would even know if you had a failure. I’m not

I went from the Anycubic photon m5s pro to the Saturn 4 ultra and I don’t see myself ever going back to Anycubic. I actually went to print something on the M5sp to try and calibrate it as well as I had the Saturn and the boxes of calibration failed and stuck to the ACF. That kinda sealed it for me
