Anycubic Photon S vs Flashforge Creator Pro

I had nearly 10 failed prints, each time the print not sticking to the build plate. Luckily I purchased extra resin, and after swapping out the resin, I finally found the source of my issue. This product shipped with expired resin. After changing out the resin my prints seem to be a lot less error prone

I also see a lot of people reccomend the Prusia mk3s. OP, these are great printers but I want you to understand what you are paying for when you buy the printer. The I3 (bedflinger) design is one of the cheapest designs on the market and a Prusia mk3s probably costs about $500-$600 (US) in parts but the rest of the cost is people checking all the electrical components to see if they function properly, research and development into new iterations and for extensive, high quality customer support. If you buy the prebuilt then you will also be paying for someone to put the printer together and run a ~2 hour test print to make sure the thing works

PROS- 1. Easy set up compared to a lot of the printers on the market 2. Amazing print quality 3. Comes with a flash drive that has the slicing software for windows and mac (I have tried it on both my windows and mac pcs and it works) 4

11. Try to print things vertically. Vertical printing is always more accuarte. Even if some instruction states to print something flat, always flip it vertically

(The white lattice structure was printed on the Photon and the green on the Photon S) Accessories: Both printers come with identical tool sets and power supplies. However, the Photon S also includes 500mL of that beautiful green resin while the old Photon doesn’t include any resin. In conclusion, this printer is quite impressive for its price. However, after using both the Photon S and original Photon, I would recommend that you buy the Photon

I really wanted to like this printer but for the price, its just not worth it. You can get more functionality from a Chinese cloned printer that costs less than half the price of the creator pro.

The AnyCubic Photon seems to have really set the bar so very high for affordable quality resin printing and has been a solid contender for a while now, and has a lot of community support. The "S" model takes it to the next level and with the solid reputation of the Photon and the AnyCubic's service and support, my decision was easy. I was surprised also at how good their liquid resin is. I've tried others and see no reason to switch

I have been using this machine a lot for nearly two weeks now and I'm very happy with it. Details: I needed a 3D printer not as a hobby, but because I need to prototype enclosures for electronic devices. As such, I wanted something reliable, that would work right out of the box with minimal fussing. I also wanted to be able to print using ABS and be able to print supports with soluble material
