Anycubic Photon M3 Plus compatible resins & parameters

The Anycubic Photon M3 Plus resin 3D‑printer is designed for users who need a larger build area without sacrificing optical precision. With its 9.25‑inch 6K monochrome LCD (5760 × 3600 px) and a pixel pitch of roughly 34 µm, the M3 Plus offers a wider XY footprint while maintaining the fine detail reproduction expected from modern MSLA systems. This makes the platform suitable for engineering prototypes, dental models, functional components and small‑series production workflows where both accuracy and throughput matter. For users working across multiple systems, the standard Anycubic Photon M3 resin settings can be found in our dedicated M3 parameter overview.

The upgraded LightTurbo LED array provides a stable and uniform irradiance field across the full 194 × 122 mm build area. This uniformity is essential when working with advanced photopolymers, especially those with higher pigment concentrations or tighter cure‑depth tolerances. Combined with the high UV transmission of the 6K LCD, the M3 Plus delivers predictable polymerization behavior across the full range of Liqcreate materials. If you require settings for larger format machines, see our Anycubic Photon M3 Max resin settings for cross‑system exposure comparison.

Because the M3 Plus operates with a stronger light engine and a larger vat volume than the standard Photon M3, exposure energy, peel forces and resin flow characteristics differ noticeably between materials. Each Liqcreate resin family—tough, flexible, dental, casting, composite and high‑temperature—requires its own exposure strategy to achieve dimensional accuracy and mechanical stability. All validated Liqcreate settings for the Anycubic Photon M3 Plus resin workflow are listed below, based on in‑house testing at the Liqcreate R&D laboratory, or simply download the Chitubox parameter file for the Anycubic Photon M3 Plus. All Liqcreate resin profiles for supported 3D‑printers are available in our complete resin settings database.

FAQ – Anycubic Photon M3 Plus resin settings

Why does the M3 Plus require different exposure settings than the standard Photon M3? The M3 Plus uses a stronger LightTurbo LED engine and a larger vat, which influence irradiance distribution, cure depth and peel forces. These differences require resin‑specific exposure tuning.

Are Liqcreate resins fully compatible with the Photon M3 Plus? Yes. All Liqcreate materials are optimized for 385–405 nm curing and are compatible with the M3 Plus optical spectrum. Each resin family requires its own exposure and support strategy.

Does the larger build area affect dimensional accuracy? The 6K LCD maintains a 34 µm pixel pitch, but the increased peel forces of the larger vat may require adjusted lift speeds for flexible or high‑viscosity materials.

Can I transfer settings from the M3 or M3 Max to the M3 Plus? No. Differences in light output, vat size and mechanical behavior mean that settings are not interchangeable between these printers.

How do I troubleshoot over‑exposure on the M3 Plus? Check for surface gloss, dimensional swelling or loss of fine detail. Reduce exposure in small steps and verify that bottom‑layer adhesion remains stable.
