Anycubic Photon Mono X vs Artillery Sidewinder X2

After several failures I found the build plate was warped, I checked the build plate on a granite countertop and it wabbled from side to side. The WiFi features only works with their mobile app, not with Photon Workshop and is only useful to monitor your prints, you still have go to the machine to load files to print. The delete function on the mobile apps deletes the file you select but only from the mobile app not from the USB stick so when you restart it the file shows up again. Another issue was every time your network assigns a new IP address to the printer you must add another profile in the mobile app, as you cannot delete or edit the previous profiles

I would not recommend this printer. It's extremely finicky and has broken down requiring parts 3 times since purchase. Only 6 months. It's now a brick

The EPAX seems like the best choice, but it’s over my price range once I factor in other stuff like the curing station. The 4K printers seem to be underproduced and only one of the companies even has parts for sale. It might just be cheaper and better using a big 3d printer company to print out my stuff, but I'm not sure on their prices.

Any filament bundled with printers is going to be around 10€/kg in value if you are lucky. Better to buy a fresh roll rather than get confused why old wet filament of the cheapest blend prints like poop and replace your entire extruder trying to diagnose the problem.

I've owned a number of these printers for work. They are cheap enough to initially purchase, but if your printer stops working, be prepared for lengthy delays before its back up and running. I received this new printer from Amazon and its screen wasn't working. It took me 2 weeks of back and forth with AnyCubic IT before they agreed to send me another monitor and another month to receive it

Let me be clear: on the channel. We actually have three x ones, we genuinely love them, they've been workhorses, they do really high quality prints an...

I used anycubic gray resin 405 microns...leveling the bed is a simple task, and there's nothing else for configuration

Ease of use encompasses everything that is from when you get the printer in the box to getting that first print. You know, can you give this to your g...
