Photon P1

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

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

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

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

What are your specific maintenance issues? Across 5 different printers, my Saturn 4 Ultras 12k and 16k are easily 95% of my printing because every other machine is more work. Particularly the ergonomics and low drip / mess is a big win over other machines which almost always need a wipe down after r

Thank you for the information on a printer I was curious about but not really considering. I am certainly not tech averse I just don't require it. I will agree with your comment about any cubic support. I have never had a negative experience, other than trying to figure out how to navigate it. It is

I have two of them though, not the 16k variant. They require potentially large investments of time to get good production. The tilting vat is amazing but the build plate is absolutely garbage if it's not level. I had to re-engineer both of my plates technically 4 because I have two plates per machin

The Uniformation GK3 B or Pro models check those boxes as far as vat quick release and easy LCD replacement. They launched in the middle of advertising / feature fraud and quality issues with the GK3 Ultra (13" large format) which killed Uniformation credibility. The couple people I know who have th

I got the M7 Max during cyber week for 599 (lowest price ever so far) so I am slowly getting over the envy for the P1 Max. I have to say though I will follow the reviews closely too. By looks and sounds of it Anycubic is working on the weak points (like the build plate) so the P1 series at first gla
