Anycubic Photon Mono 4 - LCD 3D printer

The Photon Mono 4 resin 3D printer from Anycubic stands out as an entry-level device offering impressive 10K resolution. Equipped with a 7-inch HD screen, it achieves a printing speed of up to 70 mm/h thanks to its LighTurbo light source, an upgraded parallel matrix lighting system. With a generous 2.2-liter print volume (153.4 x 87 x 165 mm), it accommodates both daily tasks and larger projects, making it suitable for diverse applications. Additionally, it supports a wide range of resins, including water-washable, standard, bio-based, and plant-based options.

Precision is a hallmark of the Photon Mono 4, featuring a 105% improvement in XY resolution from 35 μm to 17 μm. Its advanced 9024 x 5120 resolution ensures each 17 x 17 μm pixel contributes to outstanding detail and dynamic model rendering. The LighTurbo light source delivers a light intensity of approximately 3000 μW/cm², providing uniform illumination (80-90%) to minimize layer lines and reduce exposure time to just 1.5 seconds, enabling smoother and faster prints.

A re-engineered build platform with laser-engraved patterns enhances model adhesion, preventing lifting and warping while allowing easy removal after printing. Every unit undergoes meticulous assembly, calibration, and testing before shipment. Upon receipt, users need only perform a simple four-point manual leveling before starting their first print. The printer comes with essential accessories, including protective gear and basic tools, streamlining the setup process for beginners.
