Anycubic Photon P1
Mid-range
The most machine per dollar in resin this year: a heated vat, force sensing and the biggest plate at this price, which is what prints a squad or a tank body in one run rather than three.
It is the newest platform here, so the long-term failure stories are not written yet, and Anycubic has the weakest support record of any brand on this site once they are. The dual-tank trick reads as a gimmick, and the site’s own two published tables disagree about what its release mechanism is even called.
Best at: Plate size and a heated vat for mid-range money.
Worst at: Having no track record, on the brand where that matters most.
