Fifteen failed prints, multiple hardware defects
After fifteen attempts with no successful prints, this resin printer has proven deeply disappointing. The Z-axis plate is misaligned and scrapes the vat refiller, the build plate arrived warped and not flat, and the ACF film tore after three prints. The vat refiller does not function, plate adhesion is poor even after sanding, and residue is falsely detected on clean components. Wireless printing and the slicer are positives. Support has since offered parts or a replacement, but the unit is not recommended at present.
Pros
- + Wireless printing
- + Good slicer software
Cons
- − Z-axis plate misaligned and scrapes vat refiller
- − Build plate arrived warped and not flat
- − ACF film tears easily
- − Vat refiller does not work
- − Poor build plate adhesion
- − False residue detection on clean components
- − No successful prints after 15 attempts

Solid large-format resin printer with working vat heating after updates
This large resin printer handles several large models on a single plate, a capability not possible with a smaller Saturn 3. The build is solid, the flip-up cover is excellent, and Wi-Fi connectivity and the screen and app interfaces are well-advanced. Early automatic vat heating failed, turning off at temperature, but after firmware updates through 4.0.9.8, heating works well. During a 21-hour print at 18 C room temperature with the vat set to 30 C, temperature dipped to 26.5 C during burn-in layers, then held between 31 and 31.5 C. ACF film was replaced with PFA/FEP for greater resolution.
Pros
- + prints several large models on a single plate
- + solid build
- + excellent flip-up cover
- + good Wi-Fi connectivity
- + well-advanced screen and app interfaces
- + vat heating works after firmware updates
- + stable temperature during long prints
Cons
- − initial vat heating did not work
- − vat heating turns off while the light is on

Excellent Entry into Resin 3D Printing
Setup is simple with all tools provided, and the intuitive menu with print preview makes this printer friendly for beginners. Print quality is highly precise and consistent, with tight tolerances suitable for robotics connectors, prototypes, small-scale production, and figurines. The cover effectively contains resin odor, though open resin still requires ventilation and a mask. The recessed glass LCD protection can make cleaning spills difficult, and the touch screen controls are slightly out of calibration. Performance remains stable with proper build plate and FEP maintenance.
Pros
- + Simple setup with all tools provided
- + Intuitive menu with print preview
- + High quality, precise, and consistent prints
- + Entry level friendly
- + Cover keeps resin smell out
Cons
- − LCD screen protection makes cleaning spills difficult
- − Touch screen controls slightly out of calibration
- − Mishap clean up

Excellent Resin Printer With Minor Slicer Issue
The Photon Mono M7 delivers excellent print quality, with a figure test print coming out great and supports that are easy to clean up. Using High-Speed resin, four print jobs each finished in just over an hour, the fastest at 52 minutes. Setup is straightforward and no fault indications have appeared. The high-speed resin has a stronger odor and the printer is slightly louder than a previous model. The Anycubic slicer's hollowing function is unreliable, so Chitubox is used instead. Light and medium supports adhere well and prints remove easily from the build plate.
Pros
- + Excellent print quality
- + Fast print times with High-Speed resin
- + Easy support cleanup
- + Simple setup
- + No fault indications
- + Good plate adhesion and easy print removal
Cons
- − High-Speed resin has a stronger odor
- − Slightly louder than previous model
- − Anycubic slicer's hollowing function is unreliable
