Features of the Photon D2

The Photon D2 is a desktop DLP resin 3D printer capable of printing at larger volumes than some other variants in Anycubic’s line, with a build area of 130.56 x 73.44 x 165 mm. The printer boasts high precision and accuracy in its prints, with the use of a DLP system made by Texas Instruments coupled with its own branded line of high-quality resin. The manufacturer states the printer has over a 20,000-hour lifespan and a low energy consumption level to go along with its relatively quiet print functions, measured at just 35 db.

Additionally, the laser-engraved build plate features better adhesion and easier removal of any parts made in the machine. The Photon D2 is available for sale as a single printer, or in combination with its AirPure washing and curing station for a total of $680 to $700. The D2 offers several advantages due to its increased accuracy and build volume making it the ideal printer for hobbyists as well as professionals in industries such as dental, fashion, or prototyping.
