Anycubic’s new Photon M3 is an entry level resin 3D printer that doesn’t skimp on quality. It’s a little larger, little brighter and has a bit more resolution than Anycubic’s previous beginner machine: the Photon Mono 4K.
The Anycubic Photon M3 includes everything you need to get started as soon as you unbox the printer. You get a metal scraper for the build plate, a cheap plastic scraper for the FEP film, a screen protector (not shown), paper funnels, disposable gloves, disposable masks, a set of Allen keys, a power cord with adapter and a printed manual.
The Anycubic Photon M3 requires the same safety precautions as other resin printers. Uncured resin is dangerous, and the solvents used to clean your prints can be irritating to the skin. Use gloves and safety glasses when pouring resin and handling uncured prints.
Make sure the room you use your resin printer in is well-ventilated to avoid inhaling fumes. Spilled or dripped resin should be immediately cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol. After printing, make sure to wipe down your printer and bottles to remove smudges of uncured resin. Always keep your resin tightly sealed and safely stored out of reach of pets and children.
The printer comes mostly assembled. You only need to remove the LED screen protector used for shipping and apply the fresh one provided. Screw in the vat and build plate and you’re ready for calibration.
Like all 3D printers, the Anycubic Photon M3 requires calibration before its first print. Leveling the build plate is fairly straightforward and only takes a piece of paper and an Allen wrench.
To level the machine, remove the vat and then place the piece of paper provided by Anycubic on the LCD screen. Loosen the four adjustment screws on the sides of the build plate. The build plate should wiggle freely.
Next, test the UV light. Raise the build plate up (Move Z) until you can see the LED lights inside the machine. Press Tools → Detection → and select an image and the amount of time it should flash. Press next and you should see the image. If, for any reason, you don’t see the full image, contact service for help.
The Anycubic Photon M3 has a design typical of smaller desktop resin printers. It has a square base made of dark plastic and a brightly-colored transparent plastic cover. The machine feels solid and is made of metal where it counts – on the Z axis and around the LED screen.
It has a single yet sturdy Z axis rail and makes a pleasant hum when traveling up and down the rail. Otherwise the printer and fan are remarkably quiet.
The build plate is laser etched for just the right amount of grip, and I had no problems removing prints with the metal scrapper provided. The top of the plate sloped without any crevices to catch stray resin.
Unlike its FDM printer cousins, the Anycubic Photon M3 reads files from a USB stick rather than a microSD card. The port is located on the side with the power switch, situated where you’re unlikely to drip resin.
Navigating the menus on the color touch screen is easy because there are only three sub menus: Print, System and Tools. The Print menu displays thumbnails of all your models on the USB stick. System is for selecting language and displaying information you might need for service. Tools is where you move the Z axis, test the LEDs and level the bed.
One thing I find truly refreshing about the Anycubic Photon M3 is its build size. This printer might be the smallest of the M3 line, but the build size is larger than other entry-level printers from other manufacturers due to its generous width.
The Anycubic Photon M3 ships with a copy of Photon Workshop, its custom slicer. The printer can only read .pm3 files which can be made with Photon Workshop and Lychee Slicer, which has three tiers: free, pro and premium.
Photon Workshop is the only weak point for this printer. The auto supports don’t always give you full coverage, risking failed prints. Personally, I find the Magic Supports of Lychee Slicer, a free app that works witht he Anycubic Photon M3, more useful.
All slicing software for resin 3D printers gives you the ability to add supports, hollow your model and add drain holes – which is much needed to save on expensive resin.
Always run an exposure test to find the best settings for your printer setup as brand and type of resin, plus room temperature are all variables. A good test can be found at Siraya Tech’s website.
Once sliced, .pm3 files can be loaded on the provided USB thumb drive and plugged into the port on the side of the machine. Touch the Print button, select your file and then press go.
Before you can admire your prints, you’ll need to wash them with Isopropyl alcohol and cure with UV light. I like to give prints a 30 second hand rinse in a container of 95% Isopropyl alcohol, then a 2 minute rinse in the Anycubic Wash and Cure(opens in new tab), which is sold separately, and retails for $249 at Anycubic.com.
Completely dry the print with a hair dryer on cool – IPA left on the print will turn white. You can also let the print air dry in a place away from sunlight.
Supports are easier to remove before curing because they are softer. Clip the supports off with side cutters and use tweezers to remove stubborn supports. Remember to always wear gloves while handling uncured prints.
Your IPA should never be flushed down the drain, especially after being contaminated with uncured resin. Instead, keep using the resin until it’s too dirty, then leave the container open to evaporate. The remaining sludge can be cured with UV light or the sun before being thrown away.
Finally, here are some D&D type miniatures I printed in Siraya Tech Fast(opens in new tab), in Navy Grey. We have three Elf Rangers from MZ4250, available for free on Printables.com. They took 2 hours and 41 minutes to print at a 2 second per layer exposure. They are super detailed, right down to the knuckles on their hands.
The Anycubic Photon M3 is a well-built resin printer with excellent, 4K print quality. Its smaller size makes it easy to handle while taking up less space on your workbench. It has the widest build plate of any hobby level resin printer, giving you more room for printing beefy models.
Priced at $299, the Anycubic Photon M3 is proof that high resolution resin printers are getting more attainable for the average maker. When I compared test prints from this machine and the $599 Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, I was hard-pressed to tell the difference without breaking out a magnifying glass. The Anycubic Photon M3 has enough fine detail to make impressive gaming miniatures, art prints or Etsy shop wares.
I can’t really recommend Anycubic’s Photon Workshop to beginners, especially with Lychee Slicer and its Magic Supports available for free. But, if you buy the printer, you can always use this alternative software.
If you want to spend a bit less money on a machine that has an easier leveling system, full metal body and integrated air filter, but lower resolution check out the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, which is one of our favorites. However, if you want high-quality resin prints at a very reasonable price, the Anycubic Photon M3 is hard to beat.
As 3D printing continues to become cheaper and more accessible, resin 3D printers have become a popular choice for anyone interested in making highly-detailed models that wouldn’t be feasible using a filament-fed, FDM 3D printer. These MSLA (Masked Stereolithography) resin 3D printers typically have a single axis of motion, and this simple mechanical system means these machines can regularly be found for less than $300. With so many models on the market, we’ve made this list to help you find the best resin 3D printer for you.
The best resin 3D printers are capable of making high-resolution models by curing a liquid resin using a UV light source. This MSLA process uses a masking LCD to selectively block the UV light on a pixel-by-pixel basis, allowing these printers to create models that have a resolution of down to .035mm on the XY axes.
This high resolution comes at a price, as parts made on a resin 3D printer require post-processing after printing, and UV resin requires caution when handling. Because resin requires gloves and a mask to handle, we recommend beginners or anyone with young kids consider one of the FDM (fusion deposit modeling) printers on our overall best 3D printers page.
Why you can trust Tom"s HardwareOur expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.Mono or RGB LCD? The type of masking LCD on your resin 3D printer can have the single largest impact on your overall print speed. Because they are commonly used in other electronics, RGB masking LCDs are cheaper, but slower because they don’t allow UV light to pass through efficiently and need more exposure time per layer. For example, the RGB LCD on the Creality LD-002R requires 9 seconds per layer, while the Mono LCD on the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro requires only 2.2 seconds per layer.
How much build volume do you need?Most resin 3D printers have smaller build volumes than FDM 3D printers, so you may find yourself limited by this relatively small build volume. If you are interested in printing large parts, you’ll want to look at a large format resin 3D printer such as the Elegoo Saturn or theAnycubic Photon Mono X.
2K, 4K, or Beyond?A resin 3D printer that uses a 6.08-inch 2K screen like the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro is capable of an XY resolution of .05mm as well as a layer height of .05mm. For context, this means even a relatively low-resolution resin 3D printer is still capable of making extremely fine details that simply wouldn’t be possible on an FDM printer. If you need even more resolution, a 4K screen is capable of making finer features, but is typically more expensive.
Post Processing Equipment? Resin 3D printers create parts that require post-processing before they are completely finished. Typically, this workflow involves rinsing the parts in a solvent to dissolve any excess resin on the surface of the part, followed by a cure cycle that uses UV light to fully polymerize the part. This process can be done manually by submerging the part in a solvent and using an inexpensive UV light for curing, but some manufacturers have created post-processing equipment like the Elegoo Mercury X that automate the process and reduce the mess.
The Anycubic Photon M3 is the best all around resin 3D printer we’ve reviewed. It produces crisp details with 4K+ quality that rivals more expensive machines and has a wide build plate allowing it to make larger models than competitors in its class.
A sample print of a unicorn was extremely detailed, with the ridges on its horn and its mane appearing really sharp and free from layer lines. It was also a full 180mm tall and printed in 10 hours.
The etched build plate works really well at holding models tight during printing, but also allows for easy removal when they’re done. The metal vat has a convenient pour spout, and Anycubic includes a screen protector for the LED light source to prevent accidental drips from ruining your printer.
If you’re ready to throw some serious cash down for a decent-sized resin 3D printer with quality that will knock your socks off, the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K is here for you. Its roomy 218 x 123 mm build plate can accommodate an army of gaming miniatures or a gift-worthy superhero statue. Priced at around $600 at press time, this printer isn"t cheap. But in return for the premium, you get crispy details, prints that practically slide off the build plate, a built-in webcam and a machine that’s WiFi ready.
We enjoyed navigating through the Mighty 8K’s menus, thanks to its large and easy-to-use touch screen display. There’s little need to consult the manual – the printer walks you through an onboard tutorial to handle leveling and your first test print. Want to rerun a test file at a different exposure? No problem – the Sonic Mighty 8k will let you change exposure settings and more right inside the printer. I found this extremely helpful while dialing in a new resin.
The Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K size is closer to what we see in FDM printers, without being so large that it dominates your workshop. The quality and extra wiggle room would be a worthwhile investment for someone running an Esty shop or an artist wanting to showcase their work. We were able to print 12 very-detailed gaming figures at once and the process only took 4 hours and 2 minutes.
The Creality Halot-One Plus is the flagship of the Halot line of MSLA resin 3D printers, offering an impressive set of features while still coming in at a prosumer-friendly price of $399. Unlike other printers in this price range, the Halot-One Plus includes Wi-Fi connectivity and a slicer app which allows users to quickly process models and prepare them for printing almost effortlessly.
The large 7.9-inch Mono LCD provides 4K resolution (4320 x 2560), fast per-layer cure times (3 seconds per layer), and a solid dual linear rail Z axis to allow for fast and accurate printing. The Halot-One Plus also includes an integrated air filtration system which reduces the amount of odor when printing, a surprising addition not typically seen at this price point. Finally, the 5-inch LCD interface allows users to adjust settings mid-print (including exposure time), and also provides an accurate estimate of remaining time during a print.
It’s only available for pre-order right now, but when it’s available, Elegoo’s Jupiter printer will offer a combination of great quality and a huge build volume. And, despite its $1,300 price, the Jupiter is actually a great deal for its size, given that competitors cost closer to $1,000.
Where the $499 Saturn provides a 192mm x 120mm x 200mm volume, the Jupiter provides a ton more, going all the way to 277.8mm x 156.3mm x 300mm. And the print quality is pretty good as we found when outputting a detailed model of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
The Anycubic Photon M3 Premium set an impressive standard. Offering both high resolution and large build volume in a single machine, it effectively does the work of two separate printers and still comes in cheaper than buying them individually.
The 10-inch 8K masking LCD provides an ultra-high 0.0285mm XY resolution which allows even the finest details to resolve on printed models. We were particularly impressed when we printed a model that had a tiny, open book on a pedestal; the words on the pages were sharp and legible (though one might need a magnifying glass to see them).
The 219mm x 123mm x 250mm build volume allows users to print large models with high resolution, or simply pack the oversized build platform with multiple small parts to produce many in parallel. Featuring integrated dual air filters, a laser-etched build platform, and a razor-thin NFEP vat film, the Photon M3 Premium is easily capable of handling anything you can throw at it.
If you’re looking for a reliable 3D printer to start your journey with resin printing, the Elegoo Mars 3 is a great place to start. The printer has outstanding 4K resolution for beautifully detailed models and a simple leveling system to get that first layer to stick perfectly.
Beginners should factor the high price of resin when considering their first printer, and the Elegoo Mars 3 only needs 350ml to fill its vat. The build volume is average for its class, with plenty of room for gaming miniatures and models.
If you’re looking to create small models for table-top gaming, or just display, the Elegoo Mars 3 Pro is a great choice, thanks to its great build quality and high resolution. The Mars 3 Pro has an XY resolution of 35 microns (0.035mm) which allows you to show intricate details in even small objects.
When we printed mz4250"s Red Dragon model, fine ridges on the tail and bones in the wing were sharp, without any visible splotching or errors. Even the spines and beard on the head were crystal clear. Its LCD screen provides a 4098 x 2560 resolution for prints, which is higher than the 4K resolutions of competitors like the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K and AnyCubic Photon Mono 4K.
Unlike the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K, which is very competitive in this area, the Mars 3 Pro doesn’t suffer from any build quality issues.It’s easy to level and even has a built-in air purifier that, in our tests, mitigated but did not completely remove the resin odor that all MSLA printers emit. With a price in the $300 - $350 range, this isn’t the cheapest resin printer on the market, but it offers great quality output and strong usability for the money.Round up of today"s best deals

Once considered to be complete science fiction, 3D printers are not only here to stay in everyday life, but there’s a best 3D printer for each budget and use case, too.
Anycubic, known for its stylish 3D printers with yellow cases, is a great example of this, with multiple printers available across different price points. Some, like the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K, are ideal for beginners, while the Anycubic Photon Mono X is a solid advanced user option as it offers larger build options. Then there’s the Anycubic Photon M3 Max, which can print items up to 13 x 11.7 x 6.5 inches in size.
The best part is that all three of them are currently discounted at Amazon, with 30% off the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K(opens in new tab), 20% off the Anycubic Photon Mono X(opens in new tab), and $260 off of the Anycubic Photon M3 Max(opens in new tab). Each includes Anycubic’s Photon Workshop software, too.
If you want to dip your toes into the world of 3D printing, then the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K – especially with this 30% discount on Amazon – is a great place to start.
You can now save $90 at Amazon on the Anycubic Photon Mono X which offers a larger building size over the Mono 4K. This means that you can save a lot of time by printing multiple models of the same size all at the same time.
The Anycubic Photon M3 Max printer is capable of producing impressive levels of detail. With a rather lovely 20% off, you can save $260 on this monster 3D printer.
The cheapest option, the Mono 4K, takes its name from the 4K screen included in the base. It prints quickly, with a single layer taking just 1.5 seconds, and a 4.7-inch model being ready in around 2.5 hours.
The Mono X printer is a fast, quiet option that can be controlled via an app or the integrated display, and a new UV cooling system makes it more efficient with heat, too.
The Photon M3 Max offers a 13.6-inch display for previewing your builds before getting to work, and it can print objects up to around the size of a number 5 rugby ball (that’s the manufacturer’s comparison). It includes resin, so you can get started right out of the box.
Each of the three printers has a user review score between four and five stars, with all being praised for their ease of use and build quality, as well as the results from printing.Today"s best 3D Printers deals
The recommended maximum printing speed is 20 mm/h. This printing speed can affect the quality of the print, so make sure this speed falls within ranges you would like.
You"ll get a 115 mm x 65 mm x 155 mm in the Anycubic Photon, so make sure everything you want to print fits in this. You can make do by making your print in pieces, and then assembling, however, sometimes you"ll just need a larger build area.
