Anycubic Photon Ultra is the company’s first DLP desktop desktop printer, and it almost hit the Kickstarter. Anycubic Photon Ultra was first disclosed earlier this year as a teaser – now almost September 14, the launch date for the device on the crowdfunding platform.
Anycubic Photon Ultra works with the same building dimensions with mono photons at 222 × 227 * 383mm. The print dimension is a maximum of 102.4mm (length) * 57.6mm (width) * 165mm (height). The thickness of the layer is listed at 0.01 ~ 0.15mm, with print speed at 1.5s / layer, max 60mm / hour. The optical resolution of this machine will be 1280 × 720.
Benefits of 3D DLP printers through 3D SLA printers include print details, power consumption, longetativity, and fewer requirements for maintenance. It is recommended by Anycubic that while the LCD in a SLA printer is generally assessed for 2000 hours, the DLP machine can last 20K hours. Ultra photons do not require mechanical fans, and power consumption “60% less than LCD”.
We have reviewed several types of 3D printers over the past few years, from a large-scale fenom by Peopoly with MSLA (LCD + LED) to Tiny Elegoo Mars Pro (also MSLA with 28 watt UV LED Lights.) On a more traditional end of the 3D printing end, There is a longer LK5 Pro, too – it’s PLA printing with filament lines.
If all the details are the claims of Anycubic, the Anycubic photon must come out – do the rest of the printer that we have explorbled by a long shot. In the world of 3D printing at home, DLP 3D printing might be the future.
The landing page for Ultra Anycubic Photon can be found in the SuperBacker, with a link to Kickstarter. There are also places there where they encourage registration to subscribe to the news about the unit if you want it.
The first unit of Anycubic Photon Ultra will be available in the “Super Early” iteration and “initial bird”. There will be 100 units of the Super Bird version for $ 399 USD. There will be 2000 further units available at the “early bird” batch for $ 499 USD. The retail price for this printer at the general launch is expected to be $ 599 USD.
