A pro-level 3D printer for home-studio money? Surely not!
The Anycubic Photon M3 Premium is one of a new generation of 8K resolution printers, in this case with a screen that is 7,680 x 4,320px. This sounds impressive but there are factors that can make a 4K or 6K produce better results. Higher resolution can sometimes mean harsh areas of a print, where the natural diffusion of the curing light gives an almost stepped appearance, like non-anti-aliased parts of a render.
The machine itself is larger than a lot of other resin printers and weighs more too, which has the benefit of making it secure and less susceptible to heavy foot traffic causing problems. This larger size is for a reason. The print volume is large for a resin printer at 25 x 22 12cm, so larger models don’t need to be split. The other reason is that the M3 premium has two air filters to banish the resin fumes. This is a big deal for many, who are sensitive to resin vapours.
The resin tank is large too, to ensure there’s no need to top up resin mid-print, which can lead to a visible mark. This tank has a new type of film, which is designed for better performance. I can’t testify to that but it did appear that there was less of that typical peeling sound you get with some machines.There are many types of resin on the market from many manufacturers. Some are water washable while others need to be rinsed with isopropyl alcohol.
As a keen miniature painter, I’m always on the lookout for crisp detail and smooth surfaces, as painting really highlights any surface imperfections. Using both water washable resins and craftsman grade results were excellent. I prefer the feel and look of craftsman resin but it comes at a higher cost and in reality, both performed excellently. The painted model you see here needed no work other than pulling off the supports and lightly filing the nubs.
