Anycubic Photon Mono 4 Resin 3D Printer – 7" 10K, 17 µm

The Photon Mono 4 is Anycubic’s affordable way into high-resolution resin printing. A 7-inch 10K monochrome screen gives 17 × 17 µm XY resolution, fine enough for tabletop miniatures, jewellery masters and small detailed parts where an FDM printer would show its layer lines.

The build volume is 153.4 × 87 × 165 mm (2.2 L), and layer heights run from 0.03 to 0.15 mm. Anycubic rates it at up to 50 mm/h with standard resin and 70 mm/h with high-speed resin. A parallel matrix light source provides even exposure across the screen, the Z-axis runs on a single linear rail, and the laser-engraved build plate helps prints stay put.

Levelling is a simple four-point manual process with the supplied levelling paper, done once at setup. Files load from USB, power-loss resume protects long jobs, and a hinged cover makes the vat easy to reach. The printer measures 230 × 235 × 391 mm and weighs 4 kg, and it pairs with the Anycubic Wash & Cure 3, which takes printers up to 7.3 inches.
