Resin MSLA~$689Anycubic · released 2026
Anycubic Photon P1
Multi-material resin printing barely exists, which is what makes the P1 unusual: a second vat lets one print use two resins — two colours, or a rigid body with flexible sections — by moving the plate between them. The dual-material assembly is an add-on rather than fitted, so the machine that does the thing it is advertised doing is about $712 rather than $689. Everything else in this catalogue's resin section prints in exactly one material. The panel is the same 14K, 13312 × 5120 unit as the M7 Pro over the same 223 mm plate, so the 16.8 µm pitch and the non-square 24.8 µm Y pixel are identical; LighTurbo 4.0 tightens the optics to under 2° collimation with over 92% uniformity. An industrial ball screw and linear guide hold Z accuracy to 0.02 mm. It is expensive for its plate size, and the dual-material capability is the entire justification — if you only ever print one resin at a time, the M7 Pro is the same machine for less.

Features
- Dual-tank printing with the add-on assembly: two resins in one model
- 10.1-inch 14K panel, 16.8 µm pixel across a 223 mm plate
- LighTurbo 4.0 optics: under 2° collimation, over 92% uniformity
- Ball screw and linear guide, Z accuracy within 0.02 mm
- ACF film, camera, 700 ml vats
What it does well
- Two-resin prints are possible at all — nothing else in this catalogue does that
- Published optics figures are unusually specific: under 2° collimation, over 92% uniformity
- Ball-screw Z with a linear guide is a step above the lead screws used at this size
- Same fine 16.8 µm pitch and large plate as the M7 Pro
Where it gives ground
- Roughly $130 more than the M7 Pro, which has the identical panel and plate
- Two vats mean twice the resin handling, cleaning and disposal
- Non-square pixels: 16.8 µm across X, 24.8 µm along Y
- Dual-material resin workflows are new, and slicer support is thin
- Expensive per litre of build volume next to the M7 Max
- The dual-material assembly is a separate purchase, so the two-resin machine is not the $689 one
