An FDM and photopolymer 3D Printer manufacturer since 2015, Shenzen-based Anycubic is a worldwide company known as an established researcher, vendor, service provider, and developer of 3D printers. Its range of products address a variety of industries and applications, including the Photon Mono 2 discussed here. The company has successfully been able to branch its lines of 3D printers to appeal to the needs of hobbyists and industry professionals alike, and is now one of the most popular 3D printer brands on the market.
Features of the Photon Mono 2
The Photon Mono 2 is one of the desktop SLA 3D printers in the company’s Mono line of resin 3D printers. One of the most important features of the printer is that the company themselves have marketed the Mono 2, along with others in the range, as the “perfect choice for resin 3D printing beginners.” They make this claim due to the straightforward aspects of the design, which features a 6.6-inch 4K LED screen, decently large print volume for a printer its size at 165 x 89 x 143 mm, and of course, the low price tag which can encourage more hesitant buyers to give resin 3D printing a try without sacrificing quality in an inexpensive machine.
The Mono 2 also features a replaceable anti-scratch film for the LCD screen, and a laser-engraved aluminum build plate, ensuring that those high-quality prints stay safe during printing and removal for post-processing. Like all other machines in the series, the Mono 2 is configured to work optimally with Anycubic’s Photon Workshop slicing program. The printer is available for sale as a single unit, or in combination with Anycubic’s AirPure and washing and curing stations for a total ranging from $209 to $370.
