Anycubic Photon Mono 4K: An excellent high-resolution resin printer an ideal entry-level resin 3D printer. The Anycubic Photon Mono 4K is the newest member of the budget-friendly resin 3D printer series released by Anycubic and it is an improved version of the original Photon Mono. Specifically the XY resolution is now increased to 4K 3840 x 2400 from the 2560 x 1620p of the previous Mono resin 3D printer. Does this actually matter that much to warrant an entirely new device It does matter because you get more pixels in the same area as the first Photon printer so the models should be far more detailed there is a huge difference between 2K and 4K. And if the price remains roughly the same then the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K should be a great replacement for the roughly five-year-old resin 3D printer. That being said the Photon Mono series was and still remains suitable for newcomers since these resin 3D printers are not that expensive and if anything goes wrong its not too difficult to either repair or completely replace the device. Also the Anycubic Photon 3D printers are actually able to create some really good models a performance that was only possible a few years ago with devices that easily exceeded 1000. Anycubic Photon Mono 4K At 15.1 x 8.9 x 8.7 inches 38.3 x 22.7 x 22.2 cm it wont occupy that much from your table but dont let that fool you a resin 3D printer will occupy your entire desk with all the accessories needed for cleaning the models afterward. Its also not really bedroom-friendly due to the fumes and the risk of contaminating your stuff with uncured resin. In any case the build volume is not that big 6.5 x 5.2 x 3.1 inches 16.5 x 13.2 x 8.0 cm but it should be enough for small and medium-sized models then again larger models are usually printed in separate parts so it may still work just fine with the Photon Mono 4K. So yes the 4K version is the same as the original Photon Mono in terms of design which means that theres a black base and a yellow UV-blocking transparent top cover. Unlike the more expensive Anycubic models the top cover needs to be completely removed its not just a lid but the good news is that the 3D printer does have a sensor that will not allow you to start the printing process unless it detects that you added the cover. The Photon Mono did not have a fan despite having some cut-outs that may suggest otherwise and it seems that the manufacturer has kept the Mono 4K fanless as well. This does mean that it should be more silent but you will still be able to hear the movement of the elevator Z-axis. The good news is that its surprisingly quiet with just that characteristic low-volume squealing noise C since the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K will not end up in your bedroom a garage is a more likely room it wont matter that much how noisy the printer is. The Anycubic Photon Mono 4K should be able to handle pretty much anything you throw at it and the 4K resolution does help with the details.
