Product details

  • 【9.1 inch 6K Screen】ANYCUBIC Photon Mono X 6Ks resin printer uses a 9.1” 6K mono screen with a HD resolution of 5760*3600 and a high contrast ratio of 380:1, bringing sharper and delicate details. Comes with a high light transmittance anti-scratch film protector, effectively protecting the screen from wearing and scratches while ensuring printing accuracy. One free extra piece included for easy replacement.
  • 【Upgraded LighTurbo Matrix】The upgraded Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source and high-precision textured optical lens provide a stable and even parallel light source, effectively removing optical layers and grid lines to create a smooth and delicate model surface. The max printing speed reaches 60 mm/h, completing your 3d printing models even sooner.
  • 【Stable Printing Sturcture】Photon Mono X 6Ks 3d resin printer adopts dual-linear Z-axis rail and highly wear-resistant POM anti-backlash nuts, restraining the Z-axis' stability to the micron level, effectively eliminating printing layers and ensuring printing details. Laser-engraved platform has better adhesion than sandblasting ones, greatly reducing fall-offs and warping-ups, bringing you an even better success rate.
  • 【Large Printing Dimension】The printing size of ANYCUBIC Photon Mono X 6Ks resin 3d printer is 195.84X122.4X200mm, so you can print small models in one batch to improve the printing efficiency. And the max printing volume is up to 4.76L, making it even more convenient for printing large-sized models.
  • 【Upgraded Slicer software】Anycubic Photon Workshop 3.0 brings you an even better slicing experience in punching, supporting, shelling and layout arranging. Simplified UI interface makes slicing easier. The new model repairing function also helps boost the printing success rate. Free to use permanently.

PROS

+ Large print size for low cost
+ Fast prints
+ High-quality prints

CONS

- SLA printing is still a mess, stinky business
- Slicing software produces inconsistent supports
- Some print failures
