The Anycubic Photon M3 Premium waas only available for a short time and quickly became a capable small-sized MSLA printers for users who need consistent dimensional accuracy, stable curing behavior, and compatibility with a wide range of engineering and dental materials. As part of the M3 platform, the machine is designed around high‑resolution exposure hardware, making it an excellent candidate for fine‑detail Liqcreate materials. Many users searching for Anycubic Photon M3 resin settings discover that the M3 Premium behaves differently from earlier M3 units due to its upgraded optical engine, improved light uniformity, and slightly higher pixel density.
At the core of the Photon M3 Premium is a 10.1‑inch monochrome LCD with a native 8K resolution (7680 × 4320 pixels). This results in a pixel pitch of 28.5 µm, enabling extremely sharp XY reproduction. The printer uses a parallel light matrix with a high‑intensity LED array, engineered to deliver uniform irradiance across the entire build plate. Combined with the monochrome LCD’s high UV transmittance, the system achieves short exposure times even with more viscous or heavily pigmented engineering resins.
The build volume of 219 × 123 × 250 mm provides enough space for dental models, functional prototypes, and small‑batch production parts. The dual‑linear‑rail Z‑axis and precision lead screw reduce Z‑wobble, which is particularly important when printing flexible Liqcreate resins that reveal even minor mechanical inconsistencies. The resin vat includes a replaceable nFEP film, which supports stable peeling forces.
In this article, you will find validated Liqcreate resin settings for the Anycubic Photon M3 Premium, including exposure times, lift speeds, and support recommendations. Only a selection of materials has been fully tested so far, but based on the printer’s optical characteristics and its similarity to other M3‑series machines, all Liqcreate resins are expected to be compatible. Users who want to experiment with non‑validated materials can safely start from the Photon M3 Plus resin settings, as both printers share comparable irradiance levels and LCD transmission behavior.
For users requiring assistance with calibration, exposure tuning, or support optimization for specific Liqcreate materials, technical support is available at info@liqcreate.com.
