I’m currently tinkering around with the ‘Anycubic Photon S’ to get a first impression. I’m already hooked up and like to buy an SLA-printer for the job. I’m in strong favour for an (Prusa) SL1S because of its speed, the prusaslicer and support. So, although money is fortunetely not a problem, I can spent it only once.

So I’d like to ask about your experience. Anyone using an SL1S and wants to share his/ hers experience?

Only downside I can see at the moment is the (relatively) small bed. A bigger one might come in handy, but it also makes the whole process even more messy (bigger washing provisions, waste, etc.).

So - any users of a big (build) volume SLA printer, like the ‘Anycubic Photon Mono M3 Max’ around who also might want to drop a line?

Thanks a lot for your support, have fun printing!

    On the contrary to a couple of other posts here, I had a Photon Mono 4k that gave me nothing but trouble for weeks until I boxed it up and put it in storage. I must have tried 30 different prints and had success with only two.

    I’m generally very tech savvy, trial and error oriented, and have had a lot of success with FDM printing so I don’t think it’s me. It’s possible I had a bad model but in the time between buying it and first using it, the return policy had expired.

    So of course it’s anecdotal but I’d recommend something other than the Mono 4k.
