Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks - LCD 3D printer

Anycubic is a leading company in 3D printing equipment for domestic use. Their catalogue of resin printers stands out from the rest for its great value for money and ease of use. The Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks 3D printer from the Photon printer family is an updated version of the Photon Mono X 6k 3D printer. Similarly to its predecessor, Photon Mono 6Ks offers a big build volume (4.76 l) and high 6K resolution.

The main improvement is the upgraded LightTurbo matrix light source. Together with a high-precision textured optical lens, the new light source reduces optical layer patterns and grid lines, resulting in even higher quality prints with sharper details. The 9.1" LCD monochrome screen offers a high contrast ratio of 380:1, has a lifespan of 2000 hours and is protected by a replacable high light transmittance anti-scratch film protector (the printer is delivered with one screen already applied and one replacement).

The robust Z-axis is supported by dual linear rails with a 10 μm precision. The wear-resistant POM slack nut prevents backlash and drastically improves the Z-axis stability, even at printing speeds of 60 mm/s. Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks has a unibody resin vat with scaled lines, and the build platform is made of aluminum and laser-engraved for extra platform flatness and excellent adhesion. This design of the build platform reduces fall-offs and warping, significantly increasing the success rate and outperforming sandblasted build platforms.

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 3.0, which has a multitude of functions to facilitate and speed up the process of laminating models (for example, model rapairing function). Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks is also compatible with other laminating software such as Chitubox.

Safety is of paramount importance for these home printers. Therefore, like the other printers in the same range, Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks also has a removable top cover made of a material that blocks 99.95 % of UV rays. This cover is transparent, allowing the user to safely observe the printing process. 

The upgraded light source and ultra-fast printing speed make the Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks 3D printer the perfect choice for users who want to produce big parts or batches with an extremely high level of detail, whether for personal or professional uses.
