About this item

  • Entry-level 3d Printer, Photon Mono 2 features a 6.6-inch monochrome LCD screen with a resolution of 4096*2560, which is more than enough to show off the details of character figures as well as some miniatures. Also upgraded the size of the screen protector to avoid machine damage caused by resin leakage.
  • Upgraded Print Volume, compared to the previous generation Photon Mono 4K, the Photon Mono 2 has increased the actual printing area by 20% under the same machine size, to 6.49 '' x 5.62 '' x 3.5 '' (HWD), to meet as many printing needs as possible.
  • Reducing Layer Lines, the upgraded LightTurbo matrix can provide stable and uniform parallel light sources, effectively reducing layering and eliminating grid lines. Therefore, the printed model has a smoother surface and better expression of details.
  • Print Platform Upgraded, Photon Mono 2 uses a laser engraving platform with excellent flatness that can increase the adhesion of the model and greatly improve the printing success rate.
  • New Slicing Software, The new version of the slicer 3.0 has enhanced and upgraded core features such as slicing, punching, support adding, shells extracting, and model arrangement. And a more straightforward slicing process and a user-friendly interface

    RIGHT OUT-OF-THE-BOX PRINTINGThis printer works right out of the box. Period. Unboxing to set up was about 15 minutes. Figuring out which file to print FIRST took more time.SPEEDTWO print speeds are pretty much given; standard (with normal resin) and fast (with high-speed resin). The default settings for the FAST print had the test model done in about 17 minutes; this would normally be about a 4 HOUR process with traditional printers. The default standard print of the test model still comes in at an impressive 1 hour. This is due to the usage of the ACF over the old-school FEP and even newer nFEP. Do NOT be alarmed with the “matte” finish! This is also the same type of film used by the M3 Max and works flawlessly!RESIN TYPESThe high-speed resin from Anycubic is STINKY. Maybe even a little more so than usual. But, it works GREAT. May have to look at more ventilation or moving the printer to a more open area to reduce the smell.Using Anycubic's Craftsman, which I also use in my Photon Ultra, makes for a much finer detailed print overall, even with slightly increased speeds and layer line thickness.INCLUDED HEATER AND AIR PURIFIERDon’t expect miracles with the purifier. It’s a simple fan system that does its best to circulate the air inside the chamber, but let’s face it; resin is stinky. I used some odor-neutralizer in the carbon filter to reduce the odor.The HEATER works wonderfully! The entire unit is self-contained. The heater and purifier are one piece with its own power cord/source. Rumor has it that this unit WILL be available as a standalone purchase in February.WI-FIA little buggy at the beginning but once it’s detected your network and connected, it works flawlessly. The procedure requires you to download the Anycubic Cloud App to start. This also allows you to monitor and print from your phone. Once the app has detected the printer is configured to the network, then you can add the printer to the home network and the process is seamless.AUTO PLATE LEVELINGPlate dynamically levels every single print with this option enforced. This mitigates possible failures due to improper build plate leveling. This is done right out of the box during the initial equipment check. You also have the option to manually level the plate, but that seems to be only for specific errors or situations; most operations will not require this at all.VAT CLEANING MODEEasy to use. Use the Lychee Vat Cleaner Tool to assist. No longer need to empty vat, remove particles. Place LVCT in the corner of the vat, utilize the vat cleaning option (10, 20, or 30 seconds…20 worked fine for me), and peel the cured resin out. All foreign particles and failed pieces are trapped within the cured resin and can be removed all at once.FOREIGN OBJECT DETECTIONWhen the plate is lowered, if it detects even the tiniest foreign object in the vat, it stops and raises. An error is displayed allowing you to investigate as needed.OBJECT FAILURE (ZERO PEEL FORCE)If the printer senses that the print releases with zero force, it stops the build process, allowing you to investigate. This saves a LOT of time, frustration, and most importantly, resin. Rather than having to wait until the plate reaches a certain height to visually inspect the piece, the printer senses the release forces. When those are zero, it throws an error, stopping the print, raising the plate, and allowing you to visually inspect the piece. You can resume or cancel the print at that point, depending on your situation.INTELLIGENT RELEASESo, I had no idea about this when I first read about it, but today’s print testing made me aware of this feature. Intelligent release, according to Anycubic, calculates the forces of the build plate lifting and retracting…and, if possible, ADUSTS THE HEIGHT DYNAMICALLY. How I found this out was from a print with an initial build time of 8.5 hours. I accidentally used the Default Resin profile, even though I had High Speed resin in the vat. Oh Well…no problem, I’ll be home all day to monitor things. But as time went by, and when I would turn to look at the print progress (also keeping an eye for failures and other errors that may pop up) I noticed the progress was a lot faster than anticipated. End result? The 8.5 hour estimated build (from Photon Workshop) finished in 5 hours and 53 minutes. Without me adjusting anything. The printer figured I was using high speed resin, did some auto adjustments, and increased the variables…and my print was done 2.5 hours faster than estimated.PRINT DETAILSSo, let’s really face it; humans really can’t detect the difference down to 14K resolution. So folks who are either very excited for this OR naysaying and stating that it isn’t TRULY 14K…well, settle down. Most resin printers being sold today are in the 8K and above range, with the Mighty 8K offering that initial 12K experience as an upgrade, and then Anycubic following with the M5S and now the M5S Pro.FACT is…the results are spectacular as you would imagine. I was impressed with my little Anycubic Photon Ultra back in the day (my first resin printer and STILL going strong and impresses me every single time). Then moving into the Mighty 8K, I noticed some subtle changes in quality. Then on to the M3 Max and was impressed with how well it compared with the Mighty 8K…and the build size was incredible.So, having a pretty sizable mid-range build volume here at 14K is equally impressive.Now, will YOU see the difference between what you may have been using and what the M5S Pro offers? Maybe. But honestly, I couldn’t. NOR could I notice that “softness” that others are talking about due to the matte ACP film of the vat. The M3 Max has the same film and I never noticed a change in quality over my Mighty 8K. Now, that doesn’t mean that I’ve switched some of my extra on-the-fly vats for all of my printers over to nFEP. I have to admit, I loved that little “upgrade” from the traditional FEP and the slight increase in speeds I achieved were also a plus. But, I’ve also been experimenting with the ACF on my Photon Ultra and now, with the M3 Max and the new M5S Pro having this ACF installed, again…impressed with the speed increase and not affected by this so-called “softness” of details others are talking about. To me, EVEN IF there were some loss of sharpness, I would much rather have the peace of mind on my other printer’s building process that comes with the ACF installed than be nit-picky over something that most people really can’t detect with the naked eye.ISSUES/OBSERVATIONSOne of the FIRST things I noticed off my successful first print was how hard it was to remove the supports from the test print. You can notice in the first image (Test Print) the marks and left over material along the bottom. This thing was BAKED to the build plate and the supports were, in turn, BAKED to the model itself.Trial and error led me to destroying several other test prints from excessive exposure and baking the supports or build itself to the build plate. Thus, looking at not only modifying exposure settings but also support settings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My first SLA printer with INSANE detail! Great printer, but NOT for beginners.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020
    I’ve owned multiple FDM (PLA filament) 3D printers over the past 4 years I’ve used for commercial and prototyping. The quality of the prints was okay, but not necessarily the needed quality for smaller models. I’ve been waiting for an SLA printer to become a little less costly as many on the market are well into the $1,000’s. Thankfully, the demand for less expensive SLA printers has pushed a handful of printers under the $500 mark. I ended up buying the Anycubic Photon after watching a bunch of YouTube videos.

    PROS:

    - Build volume is a good size especially on the Z-axis.

    - Easy assembly right out of the box. All you have to do is put the build plate on.

    - Calibration was relatively easy, but instead of the directions given with the printer, I used the Flint Read method you can find on YouTube.

    - The touch interface is nicer than the ones I'm used to with my FDM printers. I like how it shows you the progress layer-by-layer.

    - This printer has a door on a hinge which was a deciding factor for me. Other ones had a bulky shell that you'd have to remove every time you finish a print.

    - Clean-up isn't all too bad once you get the hang of it. (more info on that below)

    CONS:

    - My only issue was with the slicing software. It really is bare bones. I ended up using Chitbox instead with better results.

    - Not particular to this model, but for all SLA printers... it can get very messy if you don't know what you're doing. The resin is known to be toxic. You need to wear gloves!

    - Again for all SLA printing, there is post-print processing needed! You need to wash the prints with isopropyl alcohol and then cure it. You need to wear gloves!

    PACKAGING:
    It came well packaged with a good amount of insulation. The only issue I had was that the stepper motor wasn’t working properly. I reached out to customer support, and they helped me through it. It turned out that one of the wires for the stepper motor backed out likely during shipping. I fixed it quickly and was printing within minutes.

    PRINTING:
    The first couple of prints failed for me. They were falling off the bed into the vat. After some YouTube videos, I figured I had the settings wrong. I changed the bottom layer exposure for the first 3 layers to 100 seconds, and that fixed the issue. The settings differ from other brands and types of SLA resin.

    As for quality, I cannot stress enough who incredibly detailed the prints to come out. I printed the Eiffel Tower as a torture test. It was printed at 0.05mm layer height and 15-second exposure per layer. The post-print was cleaned in isopropyl alcohol and cured with ultraviolet light.

    IMPORTANT:
    This should go without saying, but I wouldn’t consider this printer to be one for beginners and definitely not for kids! This goes for all SLA printers. The resin is toxic and can get messy. You need to wear gloves when handling uncured prints, and there is a bit to post-processing the prints. I certainly would not trust a kid with these tasks. If you are looking for a 3D printer for your kid, look into FDM printing.

    For SLA, you will need to buy a couple of extra things. Stock up on +91% isopropyl alcohol, nitrile gloves, Tupperware ONLY used for cleaning (never again food), and ultraviolet light for curing.

    All-in-all, it is a great SLA printer. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has experience with FDM printers looking to step up to SLA. If anything changes down the line, I’ll update this review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly great printer
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2021
    I've been 3D printing for over 5 years and printing with another companies resin printer for the past 18 months. I was spoiled by its ease of use, but it was also expensive to operate so I didn't use it as often as I would have liked. Curiosity finally got the better of me and I picked up this Anycubic Photon Mono just to see what these little LCD printers are really capable of and I can safely say I'm blown away by the print quality. Once you have a process that works, its very easy to use. Just expect a learning curve.
    When I was waiting for the printer to arrive I submersed myself in all the YouTube videos on the subject that I could find. Turns out this was a good thing AND a bad thing. Based on all this new found "knowledge" and thinking I knew better, I forged my own path for my first print and sadly it was an utter failure. Based on the videos I had watched I started ordering resin trays and FEP film but due to my inexperience, I ordered all the wrong things. Long story short after a comedy of errors and a half dozen failed prints I finally hit upon a winning formula that I've been able to readily duplicate across half a dozen successful prints now.
    The printer gives you most everything you'll need to start printing right away. Everything except the resin, and depending on the type you get you may also need isopropyl alcohol to clean the print which for some reason is still hard to come by. I bought the Anycubic Craftsman resin and have been super happy with the quality.

    Some of the things I learned during my first couple weeks--
    --When you have a failed print, make sure to clean out the resin tray otherwise the next print will be adversely affected
    --Some of the resins are extremely bad smelling, some protection is recommended
    --You will eventually have to replace the FEP film, however the most popular videos on YouTube show a product and process that is out of date.
    --There is definitely a learning curve you can only get past by experience. All the video watching in the world can't prepare you for every little hiccup, especially when so many videos contradict those of other channels.

    So like everything there are pros and cons, so from my perspective, here are mine--
    PROS
    --Printer is super easy to use and setup once you know the process
    --Very inexpensive to operate relative to high end solutions
    --High quality print results that surpasses expectation
    --Comparatively fast, prints an entire layer in one go, taking just a couple seconds of exposure
    CONS
    --Initial learning curve, you need to understand burn-in layers, exposure times and lift speed and half a dozen other settings, yet none of these options are really clearly explained, nor is it covered how they affect the final result.
    --It can take a couple hours before you can see if there's anything on the build plate, I wish there was a way to know earlier if a print failed.
    --There are so many options for resins available, yet there is very little data on what settings you need for a particular printer/resin combo so some educated/guessing will be necessary.

    All in all, I'm super happy I took the chance on this printer, as I've done so much printing, trying different things now that I would never have considered with my other printer mostly due to speed and cost. I'm sure next I'll be looking to upgrade to its big brother.

    1.0 out of 5 stars 初期不具合が出たならば無条件に返品・交換をする事をお勧めします
    Reviewed in Japan on April 29, 2023
    購入直後から不具合が多発しました。先ず、レジン供給機のモーターが周り続けて故障、予備にと思って別途購入しておいた部品に交換後、販売元へ連絡し該当部品を無償送付してもらいました。その後、数回印刷すると今度は液晶パネルが故障、再度販売元へ連絡するとメーカーサイトのサポートへ連絡するよう指示があり、メーカーサイトのサポートへ11月末日に英文で連絡、日本の正月、中国の旧正月等を挟み交換部品が到着したのは、なんと3月でした。液晶パネルを交換後、数回印刷すると再び液晶パネルが故障、販売元へ連絡し商品交換を希望すると購入から4か月経過しているので交換は出来ず、部品交換対応するので再度液晶パネルを送るとの事。この4か月間は交換部品待ちで商品が使えなかったのに。。。交換するなら本体マザーボードと液晶パネルの交換を希望し、1か月後に交換部品が到着、ようやくまともに動作するようになりました。この間、別のM3Plusをもう一台購入し使用しましたが、そちらは全くの無問題でした。販売元のサポートは良いですが、メーカーからの部品供給は1か月以上かかるので、このメーカー商品は初期不具合が出たならば無条件に返品・交換する事をお勧めします。

    2023/8/24追記
    その後も再び不具合が出て、タッチパネルも交換、さらに本日再び液晶パネルが故障しました。今回は連絡しても液晶パネルは3か月保証だとの一点張りで、部品代を請求してきました。液晶パネルが3か月保証なんて話は以前には無かった話です。ここ最近の製品には液晶パネルは3か月あるいは6か月保証と記載されるようになりましたので、保証内容を変えてきている模様です。液晶パネルにこれだけ不具合が出続けた事を考えると、このメーカー、商品の液晶パネルには問題があるのかと考えられます。ただ、同じM3plusをもう1台、M3Max,M3Premia等も使用していますが、不具合の出るのはこの商品だけで、他は何も問題が出ません。

    2023/9/5追記
    交渉の末、なんとか無償で液晶パネルを送って貰いました。交換用の液晶パネルは、中国本社からの発送で10日程で届きました。当然ですが、液晶パネル交換後は正常に動作しています。
    私は、不具合の出ないM3Plusも保有していますが、この不具合連発の商品と何が違うのか徹底的に調査してみました。結果、プラットフォームを上下に動かすアームのホーム位置とプラットフォームの高さ調整する金具に欠陥がある事を見つけました。というより、正常に動作している商品の方が稀なのかもしれません。
    アームをホーム位置にした時にプラットフォーム金具が上と下それぞれ数ミリ動かせるか確認してみてください。
    不具合の出る商品は、ホーム位置が低い為、上には動かせますが、下には動かせません。この事は、プラットフォームが液晶パネルを強く押している事を意味します。市販の磁石式鋼板パネル等を付けた場合は更に条件は厳しくなり、液晶パネル破損となるでしょう。
    液晶パネルに不具合の出る方は、レベリング調整時にプラットフォームが液晶画面との間に入れた紙がホーム位置にした時にある程度紙が動かせるか確認してみてください。全く紙が動かせなければ、液晶パネルを加圧状態ですので、いずれ液晶パネルが破損するでしょう。
    この件について、メーカーへ問い合わせましたが、レベリング調整のビデオを撮影して送れの一点張りで、本日現在回答が得られていません。
    私は現在プラットフォーム側の取り付け金具の高さを数ミリ低くした物を3D印刷して使用しています。金具の高さを低くする事でプラットフォーム取付金具の調整範囲が広がり、正しくレベリングが出来るようになりました。
