Photon P1

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

P1 and s4u16k side by side in my garage right now. P1 wins. With some caveats. I'm gonna post a comparison at some point. Build quality, build plate, vat, heating system, door, all better than the ultra. I got the p1 for 550 and the 16k for 500. It's worth the 50 bucks to me. This is saying somethin

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

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

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

What is your budget? With resin have you considered all the other things you need outside the printer to use the machine safe and effectively? I have taken the deep dive into resin printing HO scale models including full freight cars. Resin printers ship with the slicer software and there are open s

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

There are maybe 4 or 5 good quality affordable options right now but each has a downside. These are the models I’d consider & why I’d be hesitant. Heygears Reflex RS Turbo - too locked down and upgrading for the heated vat is an extra expense. Messy flat build plate. Anycubic P1/P1 Max - I’m unsure

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
