Anycubic Photon Mono X vs Ultimaker S5

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

That said, I’ve found the S5 the most reliable and requiring the least amount of maintenance.

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.

This is just about the maximum build height that you can get out of the printer. This is a little bit smaller, but a little bit more complex, but toge...

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

It's cheaper to buy a 7k Ultimaker than hire a dedicated person to fiddle with a 250 euro printer. For me the printers are just a tiny part of my work because they are so reliable, we have a Prusa that we don't use because I don't have the time to keep it running.

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

Let’S see what makes it the complete user-friendly 3D printing solution. The Ultimaker S5 features the largest build volume, yet in an Ultimaker 3D pr...

I have actually bought said competitor's printer and it came with a completely level build plate and guess what? My prints are working (learning how to build supports is extremely important so do some research)! Buyer beware. Not sure wth is up with AnyCubic but I'm calling you out. Fix your stuff. Uneven build plates, LCDs that fail after one print

But the ones we've tested haven't printed large objects with the same versatility and in the quality those users demand. Even the Formlabs Form 2, our Editors' Choice professional 3D printer, has a considerably smaller build volume and can print in a much smaller range of colors. (Its peak quality is higher than the S5's, though, and it uses a wholly different printing technology.) The S5 offers enough to earn its own Editors' Choice as a pro-grade, filament-based 3D printer
