Anycubic Photon and Photon S compatible resin & parameters

The Anycubic Photon and Anycubic Photon S were once the most widely used entry‑level LCD printers, and one of the most common questions from users is which anycubic photon resin delivers the best print quality, accuracy, and reliability. Because these printers use a low‑power RGB light engine, they require resins that cure efficiently under limited light intensity. Most Liqcreate materials are compatible with the Anycubic Photon series, and our exposure parameters are optimized specifically for this class of low‑power LCD hardware.

While some third‑party resins will work on this printer, not all of them are engineered for the Photon’s weaker light output. This is where Liqcreate’s Premium resin range stands out: these materials were developed from the ground up to perform exceptionally well on low‑power LCD printers like the Anycubic Photon, resulting in significantly shorter exposure times, improved surface quality, and higher print success rates. Whether you are printing prototypes, functional parts, dental models, or high‑detail miniatures, choosing the right anycubic photon resin has a direct impact on accuracy, speed, and overall workflow efficiency.

For users upgrading or expanding their setup, we also provide validated settings for the newer Anycubic Photon Mono series, which uses a more powerful monochrome LCD system. If you need assistance selecting the best resin for your application or want help fine‑tuning your parameters, our technical team is ready to support you. Contact us if you have any questions. In this link you can find settings for the newer Anycubic Photon Mono series. Or simply download the Chitubox settings for the Anycubic Photon.
