Anycubic’s latest Photon P1 includes a ton of tech and AI features, making it stand out as one of the most feature-packed prosumer-level printers in its $699 price range. It’s also one of the most user-friendly resin printers I have used to date, and priced within the range of similar-sized alternatives, making it a hard printer to beat.
The resin scene has been slowly adding new tech to printers to help users get the best printing experience out of the box, and I think that Anycubic has hit that on the head with the Photon P1.
Some of the features we found the most useful while testing are its Wave Release Technology, the heated vat function, and the Intelligent Assistant. Combined, they make the resin printing experience that much easier and more enjoyable.
Currently on sale for $549, the Anycubic Photon P1 makes it an even more attractive option for resin printing hobbyists and takes a spot in our best resin 3D printers list for its versatility and usability.
