The printer's 10.1" LCD screen has 11520 x 5120 resolution, 19 x 24 µm XY pixel size, 480:1 contrast, 4.7 % light transmittance and an approximately 2000 hours lifespan.

Quality and fast printing

The Z-axis of Photon Mono M5 is very robust. It is supported by high stability and high precision dual linear rails, and a high-wear-resistant POM clearance nut. This combination ensures the precise operation of the Z axis without shaking, layer grain or blurry details. Photon Mono M5 can achieve a printing speed of 20-50 mm/hour.

This, in turn, effectively improves model adhesion, reduces instances of printed models detaching or warping, and significantly enhances the overall success rate of the printing process.

Ease of use and security

Anycubic's 3D printing equipment stands out for its ease of use and is aimed at home use. For this reason, the manufacturer provides the user with its own laminating software, Photon Workshop, which has a multitude of functions to facilitate and speed up the process of laminating models.

With the Anycubic Photon Mono M5, the Photon Workshop software comes with an upgraded version (3.1) and a simplified user interface. The enhanced support algorithm of the laminating software brings about several benefits. It enhances printing stability and success rates, minimizes harm to the model's surface, and simplifies the removal of support structures and the bottom valve.

Since ensuring user safety remains the top priority for these home printers, the Anycubic Photon Mono M5 includes a detachable upper cover constructed from a material that effectively shields against 99.95% of UV rays. This transparent cover enables users to securely monitor the printing process. Furthermore, the Anycubic Photon Mono M5 also provides an additional layer of safeguarding with its pre-applied, replaceable anti-scratch film, enhancing both protection and longevity.

12 K precision, great build volume, fast printing speed and ease of use make the Anycubic Photon Mono M5 3D printer the perfect choice for users who want to produce parts with a higher level of detail and take a step into the world of domestic resin 3D printing.
