Anycubic Photon P1 3D printer review: A huge step up for the company, and while aspects are simplistic, I can't argue with the print quality

The Anycubic Photon P1 is an enthusiast entry-level professional resin 3D printer that has been designed for makers and engineers looking for the next step-up. The Photon P1 sees Anycubic finally improve its resin 3D printer design. Focused around a 14K LCD, the machine features a ball screw Z-axis, heated resin vat, and Wave Release Technology, all in a relatively compact machine. But it’s the option for the dual-material printing with the optional kit that many will find of the most interest. Through the test, I managed a near unheard of 100% success rate on 20+ prints, and the quality from the 14K screen was exceptional, even with a low workshop temperature; the heated vat kept everything running at optimum temperatures. Print speed, however, is slower than the M7 Pro, and the build plate lacks a quick-release, but otherwise, this is an impressive machine.
