What reviewers found
Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro
- TechRadar (4.5/5): Scored 4.5 out of 5. High speed resin printed at 170 mm/h versus 130 mm/h on the previous model, and the clean function cleared about 80% of failures. Needed re leveling after about 4 kg of resin; auto refill tapered off below half a bottle. Source
- Basic Tutorials (91/100): Scored 91 with a Gold award. A print that takes about half a day on an FDM printer finished in under an hour with high speed resin, and it handled an 80 degree overhang. Supports sometimes failed to stick on flat areas and the touchscreen and software had flaws. Source
Creality K1C (2025)
- Tom's Hardware: Editor's Choice. A speed Benchy took 13 min 53 s at 300 mm/s and ABS and nylon parts printed with no warping. Cons were the poor filament path and needing glue stick on the PEI plate. Source
- Tech Advisor: Called it a strong, reliable printer for beginners with impressive print quality and a useful built in camera, but noisy at high speed and frustrating for filament changes. Source
