ANYCUBIC 14k Resin 3D Printer Photon Mono M7, 150mm/h High Speed Printing, Upgraded COB Source System and Intelligent Detection, 8.78x4.96x9.06 inches Printing Size

This any cubic mono M7 is an amazing resin 3-D printer. One thing I like about it is the wireless app works perfectly no hassles with connectivity so that’s a big plus you can print right from your PC or your phone app with ease. The machine has a very nice touchscreen with a clear display. The build quality is very nice and I always get super nice prints with very little issues from this M7. You can use the optional Anycubic heater. It’s kind of a tight fit, but it does fit inside if you’re using materials that need to be printed at 25° or higher but it’s a great printer. I always get great prints out of it works very well so if you’re looking for a resin printer, I would definitely say this is a great machine because the quality being able to use the PC or an app to transfer files is great and it’s just a hassle free nice printing printer at a good price. And typically once you level the build plate, I don’t ever have to level it for quite a long time.I love it so much. I bought one to have as a back up if anything ever happened lol

Picked up the Anycubic Mono 4K recently, and honestly, it’s been a great experience. This little machine punches way above its weight for the price, it’s a total workhorse—prints come out clean, crisp, and surprisingly detailed for a budget-friendly setup.Setup was straightforward, and I was up and printing in no time. For anyone new to resin printing, this thing makes a great starting point without feeling like you're sacrificing quality. It’s got solid build quality, and the monochrome screen helps speed up print times while extending lifespan.Only real downside? It’s USB-only, so you’ll need to transfer files with a thumb drive. Not the end of the world, and am currently seeing if I can get octopi to work with this (Will update here when I get around to it.)If you're getting one, I highly recommend grabbing a wash and cure station too. It makes the whole process way smoother and cleaner, especially if you're printing regularly. Just makes the whole hobby more enjoyable and less messy.All in all, I’m really happy with the purchase. Great starter printer, does exactly what it’s supposed to, and just keeps going.

I won't put you to sleep with too much jargon, here are the main reasons I like it:[EASY SETUP]It's as easy to set up as any bare bones resin printer. Tram the buildplate to the screen (the same thing you do with any resin printer, which is incorrectly called "leveling") and you're ready to print.After testing, resin exposure settings are almost identical to the Anycubic M5s Pro, you may even be able to knock off 0.2s of normal exposure time. So if you own that printer you'll have less settings that need twerking.It prints Cones of Calibration v3 perfectly, there is no Z-axis squishing.[LIGHTWEIGHT]The printer body and resin vat are made of plastic so it's a lightweight machine. The cover is tinted dark and feels like a big thin tupperware container, not the same as the sturdy M5s Pro cover for example. It can be disconcerting if coming from an all metal machine, but I haven't noticed any issues with the build quality.The aluminum buildplate has a cool etched design to improve grip on baselayers, and has ACF film installed to improve the release of normal layers. It's also feather-light, despite being slightly bigger than the one in the Elegoo Mars 3 it replaced.[QUIET OPERATION]I'm surprised that despite all the plastic this printer is one of the quietest I've used. Everything is taught and moves smoothly, giving the impression that it's going to work and everything is going to be okay. It's a huge difference compared to the previous Elegoo and AC printers I've used that always have some bit that rattles or grinds.[INTELLIGENT RELEASE IS AWESOME!]Basically this automatically adjusts the Lift Height on the fly, making sure the model detaches from the release film and then immediately lowers it again for the next layer. Depending on the model, this can save you a ton of time.It's not a bulletproof feature, sometimes it fails to detect the release force with viscous resins for example, but with some heating for those kind of resins it works as expected.As far as I know, Anycubic is the only company who adds this feature to their affordable range of printers. Other companies start adding it at like the $1000 mark.The printer also has some other new useful features found in current resin printers, like debris detection, tank clean, wifi, etc., but I don't use those. They can be turned off.I have some nags about the printer, but none of them are dealbreakers at the discounted prices.[EXTRA VATS ARE EXPENSIVE]The printer uses plastic resin vats but Anycubic charges $40 for them. Other companies charge that much for similar all metal ones. If you switch colors often, you absolutely need a few extras though. Also remember not to wrench down hard on the vat screws so you don't crack something.[USB PORT IS ON THE SIDE]This can make it tough to reach/plug the USB stick if you're using an enclosure. Consider a USB extender to move it to the front.[SCREEN PROTECTOR INCLUDED, BUT...]You don't have to use the included screen protector, personally I don't like them because there's always some obnoxious bubble or dirt that gets under there. There's no reason Anycubic themselves can't do this at the factory to save us the trouble. I suspect they know what a pain it is to install them cleanly so they don't want to bother with it.See, I'm just nagging now lolAlmost every Anycubic printer I've used over the last 5 years has been defective in some way. Customer service ranges from helpful to making up excuses that don't make sense for the defects. This time though, I'm relieved that the Photon Mono 4 is one of the best I've used, and sets the bar for all others in this size and price range.If you want tips or just want to chat, search for "Underground Junk Hole" and you'll find my resin 3D printing guides and settings.
