Photon P1

Generally speaking the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k is the best option for most people. I investigated and wrote the original post explaining the 3-bit grayscale deficiency and it is still present. I also bought a S4U 16k and subsequently worked out a dithering method with UVTools to restore a significant por

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

The dual color/material is just one configuration of the printer. You can also use it with 1 large vat and 1 large build plate. Then it makes a lot more sense. There is also nothing stopping other brands of releasing an aftermarket split vat / build plate. https://store.anycubic.com/pages/photon-p1-

Did it start to fail at the back and split moving forward like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/resinprinting/comments/1n8gh14/help_with_st_flex_black_70a_parts_of_print_stop/ If so it is partially because the resin stretches and the tilt stroke of the S4U is shorter at the back than the front.

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

I've recently bought an Anycubic P1 and it has a temp controlled resin vat. Night and day difference with prints! So yes, temperature consistency is super important.

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

I run an anycubic p1. Best resin printed ive ever had.

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
