Good while it lasted. The printer does mostly as promised and was gave prints of a better quality than expected, but after I had to replace the LCD screen a couple months ago, it hasn't worked and is too much of a hassle to try and fix after my SECOND replacement screen also didn't work. No amount of firmware resets, cable jostling, or turning it off and back on again has done anything to help.
The Anycubic Photon SE is an amazing resin printer! I had it for a couple of weeks, and I never had to level it since the first day. It’s very precise with its dual Z-axis and never had a layer shift. The printer is build heavy duty; all the metal makes it sit solidly on my table. I already printed over 20 prints of everything from porcupine to giraffes and jewelry hearts. I’m amazed with the details of the prints and I had no fail prints. I’m a long time FDM 3d printer user who always have to make sure the filament does not get jammed or run out; the resin printing is much easier. When I first started, I printed very small objects for jewelry and found out the prints were so brittle that they broke when removing the objects from the build plate. Then I bought the Anycubic’s Craftsman Resin and the prints come out so much better; they are not brittle and are flexible enough to not break when removing the prints from the build plate. Additionally, the resin has hardly any fumes, and that was a big plus for me! I will definitely recommend Anycubic’s Craftsman Resin to anyone.
Awesome printer!!! I received my Photon Mono SE at the end of October 2020 and it has consistently produced successful prints with great detail. The Photon Workshop slicer that comes with the printer is easy to use. The auto support feature works amazingly. It cut adding support time down considerably. I also have been able to use the entire build plate area. With some creative placement, I can print off 4 to 5 figures with multiple optional pieces. I would definitely purchase another Photon Mono SE or the Photon Mono X with a bigger build plate.
What an amazing little printer. First, the build quality is amazing. This thing sits on the desk and is so sturdy. Easy to work with and print with. I highly recommend this printer. Wish that Anycubic was working something larger with this same quality. Waiting for Elegoo Jupiter but only because Anycubic doesn't have a super large resin printer. The photon SE hands down just does a nicer job than the Elegoo Mars 2P that it sits beside. Nice work folks!
