ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 4, Resin 3D Printer with 7'' 10K Mono LCD Screen

I got this resin printer because I had a client that needed some things that just required too much detail for a traditional filament printer to handle. I went with the mono 4 because I didn't need large capacity or anything fancy, just an easy to set up and use printer. For it's price, this is a heck of a deal. Set up was easy and I was printing within 30 minutes. Build plate adhesion is excellent, so long as you pay attention when slicing. Resin typically sticks stronger to the bed than you would expect if your'e coming from FDM, so be aware of that. The speed of printing and quality were what I expected, and both were very good. You can achieve resolutions small enough that layer lines are virtually invisible. As for the smell, that's a part of any resin printer and will vary depending on what resin you're using. I ended up putting it in our garage so I can vent it outside and really only notice it when I remove the hood. Of course PPE is strongly recommended.

Great printing 90% of the time. I did experience some leveling issues in the back corner, but was not a big deal. The quality of the prints were very good, especially for the price of the printer, although it had a smaller print size than I was expecting, which had me constantly having to adjust the size of my model. Most of the time the prints were very accurate, although some of the time, especially when I was printing larger things I would experience some warping. And in one specific case when I was trying to print a light saber that came in many pieces it straight up just didn’t print a few of them. I don’t know if this was a printer error or a computer error but something happened that caused like half of the parts to not print. The resin vats did have a tendency of breaking, which was annoying, but not too bad, and may have been my own fault. although it did cause me to have to replace the LCD screen, which surprisingly was not that expensive and I think was only like 25 to 50 bucks. One thing I will say is it doesn’t work great after your friend punches it because they don’t know how to play VR and set up their boundary way too close. Although this is not the printer’s fault, it did give me a good chance to see how easy it was to clean seeing as when my friend punched it. It was in the progress of printing. It is very easy to clean, and if you approach it with common sense is not too difficult to take apart and deep clean.

I’ve used this printer for ALOT of prints and it has not failed me yet. Of course I’ve had to replace the vat and build plate after a while, but other than that the printer itself is pretty tough! Also super super easy to use.

Got this to replace my well-worn photon 4k that unfortunately did not make it past a move. I like the improvements Anycubic has made since then, the prints are definitely more high res, and I'm getting less failures than usual. I can actually move the lid to check on the print and not stop&ruin the print! I had a power outage and had to resume a print, on my old machine it would've failed but this one picked up right where the outage went out and the print came out perfect.

I tried filament printing a few years back, and I just couldn't get it to work very well. The cost of this was reasonable, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. The software is usable. I wish I could move the view a bit easier, but it's not utter crap. I liked that the plate leveling was easy- and a one-and-done. I've printed a few things on here now, and I'm happy with them. My only issue is the prints stick too much to the build plate, but that's likely a setting I'm still honinig in. Here are a couple of the things I printed. First is Uzi Jesus from the novel Dungeon Crawler Carl (great read). I painted him for my brother-in-law as he related to this character. The second print was a miniature I created from Hero Forge. The bigger one is standard game size, the smaller one is 72mm scale for a diorama I build. They all printed great with the water-washable resin from Anycubic. Overall, I'd recommend this for anyone wanting to build some small bits for arts and crafts or some practical builds (I printed a small spade to clear out the snowblower chute, works great).

This was one of the worse experiences I've had with a 3d printer and their company. I bought this printer and less the a month in the screen bruns up. I got a new one a week later it burns up. Next the z axis won't move. I contact support and they waste days only replying to one message tell me I need to fix the printer myself. After requesting a refund they instead offer my 35$ and a quart of resin for the 175$ printer I wasted my money on. I bought the problems to Amazon and they approved the refund. Now despite having sent the printer back on the 12th and them having it in there facility (according to shipping) they have not return my money and insist they are still working on it. I would not recommend this printer to prop you do open with.

The ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 4 is a bit of a mixed bag, offering professional-grade results paired with some frustrating reliability hurdles. If you are looking for a machine that works perfectly out of the box, this might not be it—but if you’re willing to put in the work, the output is stunning. The Good: Precision and Form Factor Stunning Print Quality: When a print actually finishes, the level of detail is world-class. The resolution on the Mono 4 captures razor-sharp edges and intricate textures that make it perfect for high-detail miniatures or jewelry prototypes. Compact & Quiet: This printer is surprisingly stealthy. It runs very quietly, making it suitable for a home office or a small workspace. It also has a very small footprint, so it won’t hog your entire desk. The Bad: Reliability and Setup High Failure Rate: Getting a successful print feels like a gamble. I’ve experienced frequent print failures, often due to the model not adhering or layers separating. Constant "Dialing In": You cannot rely on default profiles here. I spent a significant amount of time tweaking exposure times, lift speeds, and temperature settings. It requires a lot of trial and error to find the "sweet spot" for success. Hardware Longevity: Most disappointingly, the screen that came with the vat failed within the first week of use. While Anycubic is usually good about replacements, having a critical component die that quickly is a major red flag for quality control.

I want to print waxes for lost wax casting of jewelry. The detail was very important to me and the ease of use. On both accounts it is exceptional. Know that to get the full use of the printer you will need a computer to run photon workshop

Stampante veramente ottima

EXCELENTE EQUIPO, LLEGÓ EN TIEMPO Y FORMA, COMPLETA, ME VOLVERÉ FAN DE ANYCUBIC LO SÉ , SOLO DEBERÍAN INCLUIR UNA RESINA AL MENOS POR EL PRECIO

Very poor support service, my lcd stopped working only need after three months, and they are not solving my query about caliming warranty

Impressora incr'vel. Tinha uma antiga photon e esta supera em tudo, desde tempo de impressão, qualidade da impressão e extremamente silenciosa (nem parece que está funcionando). Recomendo

Mobile App dont work. Barcode dont work while connecting mobile app with printer. Always show error message that this CN barcode not supported. Poor configuration process.
