Photon P1

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

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

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

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

Short answer is no, Anycubic wants you to buy the P1, which is really an M7 Max split into two vat areas, or one depending on how you use it, I will say that it does appear to be well built and high grade materials, but the M7 Pro is also quite nice and great for professionals. The slicer had the ca

Nice, ill look into them eventually. Found an anycubic p1 NIB on Fb for cheap. Been loving it.

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

They are still struggling a bit - Elegoo's prices just ate their lunch. Now the anycubic P1 has all the bells and whistles. Good news is - consumers win.

Personally i wouldnt recommend heygears because of the locked ecosystem, currently they dont support 3rd party resins, which is a dealbreaker to me. Its nothing like filament where basically, pla is pla is pla, and so on for other materials. With resins nothing is standard, every resin is basically
