The Anycubic Photon M3 Max occupies a clear position in the large‑format MSLA segment and is frequently selected by users searching for reliable and repeatable Anycubic Photon M3 Max resin settings for engineering, dental and high‑volume prototyping workflows. Users comparing the M3 Max to other printers in the Anycubic ecosystem often evaluate the Anycubic Photon M3 Plus as a mid‑range alternative, or the newer Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max for next‑generation 14K performance. As the largest printer in the M3 series, the M3 Max is designed for oversized components and batch production, making accurate resin parameters essential for dimensional stability, surface quality and predictable mechanical performance.
The system is built around a 13.6‑inch monochrome LCD with a native 7K resolution of 6480 × 3600 pixels. With a 46 µm pixel pitch, the M3 Max provides a balanced combination of large build volume and sufficient XY precision for functional parts, dental models and industrial prototypes. Its upgraded matrix light engine delivers uniform irradiance across the full 298 × 164 mm exposure area — a critical factor when printing engineering and dental resins where consistent polymerization directly influences accuracy, warpage behavior and layer bonding.
The 298 × 164 × 300 mm build volume enables large single‑piece components or multi‑part production runs. A laser‑engraved build plate improves first‑layer adhesion, while the nFEP film and long‑travel Z‑axis help maintain stable peeling forces, even with higher‑viscosity materials. These characteristics make the M3 Max well‑suited for Liqcreate’s engineering, dental and specialty resins.
This page provides the validated Anycubic Photon M3 Max resin settings for all supported Liqcreate materials, including exposure times, lift parameters and support recommendations. Almost all Liqcreate resins have been fully validated on the M3 Max. For users working across multiple printers, the complete overview of resin compatibility is available in the Liqcreate master database sheet. If you need assistance with resin selection or exposure tuning, you can always contact our engineering team.
