The Anycubic Photon P1 represents a new direction within Anycubic’s compact MSLA printer range, combining consumer‑level pricing with hardware characteristics typically found in professional systems. Equipped with a high‑intensity 405 nm light engine, a reinforced Z‑axis assembly and a fast‑cycling exposure system, the Photon P1 is designed to deliver stable curing behavior, predictable dimensional accuracy and consistent performance across a wide range of Liqcreate 405 nm materials. These characteristics make the Photon P1 suitable for engineering components, dental models, jewelry patterns and general‑purpose prototyping workflows where repeatability and optical stability are essential.
Thanks to its strong optical output and optimized parallel UV matrix, the Photon P1 can process both fast‑curing standard resins and more demanding engineering or elastomeric materials. Users transitioning from earlier Anycubic systems will notice improved uniformity across the build plate, reduced cure gradients and more reliable layer adhesion—especially when working with flexible, high‑viscosity or high‑energy resin formulations. For users comparing the Photon P1 to larger or more advanced platforms, the Anycubic Photon Mono 4 Ultra and the Anycubic Photon M7 Max provide useful reference points for differences in resolution, irradiance distribution and resin behavior across the Anycubic ecosystem.
If parameters for your resin are not yet available, the validated Photon Mono X settings provide a reliable baseline for dialing in exposure values on the Photon P1. For a broader overview of compatible printers and materials, the Liqcreate resin setting database contains validated parameters for nearly all monochrome MSLA systems, including compact, mid‑range and large‑format printers. For direct assistance with exposure tuning, resin selection or unlisted materials, our engineering team can be reached through the Liqcreate contact page.
