Anycubic Photon Mono 4 review

A 7-inch 10K resin printer with 17 × 17 µm pixels and a stated 153.4 × 87 × 165 mm volume, leveled by hand with a 4-point method.

Pixels and volume, both printed

Anycubic gives 9024 × 5120 pixels at 17 × 17 µm and a build volume of 153.4 × 87 × 165 mm. Many resin listings print only one of those, so this one is easy to compare.

The manual step

A 4-point leveling routine takes a few minutes and holds until the plate is disturbed. It is fine for most owners, though the Mars 5 does it automatically.

A limit worth reading

The listing states that the Anycubic app does not support this printer. If phone monitoring matters, look at the models with Wi-Fi.

Questions makers ask before buying

Does it work with the Anycubic app?

No. The listing says the app service is not supported on the Photon Mono 4.

What does 105% precision increase mean?

It is the maker’s comparison with the Mono 2. The figure to use is the 17 × 17 µm pixel, and that describes the screen, not a part tolerance.

Our score

8.0/ 10

The best detail for the price here, and honest about its limits. Choose the Mono 4 Ultra if you want Wi-Fi and faster printing.
