The Mono X is also substantially quieter than my original Photon. For some, this might be a welcome improvement, especially if you keep your printer in a separate room. However, you can monitor prints using the Anycubic app to see when a print is finished. You will still have to save your prints to USB, as the sliced files can’t be sent directly to the printer over Wi-Fi. The Mono X also comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, though it’s not a feature I use. Levelling has also been made a little easier and will definitely save some hobbyists time and frustration. The dual linear rails on the Z-axis offer added stability compared with older resin printers like the original Photon or Elegoo Mars. In addition to the faster curing times and longer lifespan, Monochrome LCD screens use less energy. The same print would have taken over 8 hours on my original Photon! It printed in just over 5 hours on the Mono X, at a layer height of. Here’s a cool little shrine model I made for a Kickstarter campaign I did last year. The increase in print speed is actually very noticeable, and I originally thought my slicer had made a mistake when I saw the estimated time on my first print. Monochrome screens not only last longer (allowing up to several thousand hours of printing before needing to be replaced), but also enable much shorter cure times than the RGB LCD screens on older models. The monochrome LCD screen is a welcome upgrade. However, there are a few other improvements that took me by surprise. The size increase alone was enough to justify picking up a Mono X. The build plate is wider than the length of my original Photon. The most noticeable feature of the Mono X is the larger build volume.

XY Resolution: 50 microns (3840 x 2400 pixels) There are potential issues to be aware of, but overall, the Mono X is a great printer and a welcome addition to my collection! Specs In short: The Mono X is an excellent printer, both bigger and faster than its predecessors, and also boasts a few interesting new features. This is my review and guide on getting started for anyone interested in the Anycubic Photon Mono X. So, I didn’t hesitate when I found a good deal on the Mono X. I’m a big fan of Anycubic and have probably logged several hundred printing hours on my original Anycubic Photon. Anycubic announced its own addition to the space in September, the Anycubic Photon Mono X. The golden age of resin printing is finally upon us! With the announcement of the Elegoo Saturn in 2020, large-volume resin printers have been all the rage.
