Photon P1

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

Nope. That they can't be used together was something just more recently that has started showing up in their materials. During the AMA, they had said "Not yet-still in internal planning." Evidently the decision was made to not make them play nicely with each other, which is a little messed up, in my

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

If you would have spoke to me a few months ago i would have had good things to say about support, but now is a different story. I'm not sure if it is due to them being busy with new releases or if it's just the new normal, but support has gotten horrid. Bad enough to the point I canceled my preorder

Yeah, idk Anycubic is kind of a shit company in many ways but the hardware is decent if you can deal with the frustrating firmware and non-existant support. The P1 has a good build plate and levers instead of screws which is a step up. I wouldn't say it's messier than Form - though the Form wash has

You're the kind of person I'd recommend the Kobra S1 for: someone with a fair amount of experience with printers, who can fix problems without a ton of hand-holding and can deal with less-than-stellar software and quirks. It can output great prints, with some effort, as long as you don't get a lemon

it's meh. the heater only heats at the beginning - so if the print is more than an hour, it's useless. the pump is kind of a joke - but it works if you fiddle with it and tilt the printer back when it is removing resin. the firmware was never updated - so there's no telemetry (it could work with tel

Yeah it's all compromise all the way down basically. I was hopeful that the P1 could be a great budget machine but at the same price point as the S4U I just don't see it. I'm not super familiar with AnyCubics track record but I'm not holding out hope they patch it to be truly excellent rather than j

No, I do not know everything. I know this issue because of multiple reports of others owners. But I'm sick about bad advices around there when it can modify the printer. One question, ten different answers. Sanding the plate is one which can do permanent damages, I'd never suggest that. I'd rather c

Anycubic Photon P1 Max is releasing next month, or at least the pre-order for it. Thats the direction I will be going in after their extremely poor responses.
