I have the Mono 4k since Dec and have been super happy with it. It's priced well, produces excellent prints and where it counts, like the Z rail and the LCD screen, it has not stinged on the parts.

Just getting back into 3d printing and the Mono 4k is going to be my go to... gave up a year and a half ago due to my shed being broken in to and having 2 Mono X stolen, wash and cure and my Photon S (which I left resin in) wrecked, police didn't even take it seriously!
I just bought this printer with the cure and wash station on sale for $275. I was hesitant at first after making the purchase but now after watching this video I can't wait for it to arrive so I can start using it.
After liestening to you for 5 min, I forgot I'm watching a printer review and found myself lost in a bedtime story with orcs and elves thanks to your heartwarming voice. :) Thank you. ***I just bought the printer and wash/cure station for testing/prototyping a few projects. Still setting it up while watching. :)

Just pushed the button on ordering a Mono 4k and saw this review after that decision. Nice!! Goal is to get a great printer for small details (into scale airplane model building) for a decent price. Feel pretty confident that this one will serve me well, even more so after seing your review. Thanks!!
Many thanks for that review. I got mine with Wash and Cure Plus back in December, but still had not tested it. Waiting for some more equipment to arrive. What is the best resin for casting with the stones (cubic zirconias) in it? Maybe you should do a video of that topic as well. Regards!
Glad to hear you're enjoying it Peeter. In theory any of the castable resins will be fine, but I admit I haven't tried it yet. I do intend to give it a go 😁
I have this printer for a year now, the only issue I have with it, is build plate. Very small, bigger models did take me 5 printing sessions. I was lucky enough to have ZERO fails that wasn't my fault (I forgot to refill resin once, and second time I didn't notices my mini was floating). The quality is so good that I have problems to find something clearly better. I was thinking about Mono X 6Ks, but the quality jump is not that high.
I´ve been using the very basic anycubic Photon. I still really enjoy using it and dont see a need to upgrade as long as it works as it should be. I also very like the small product measures of the metal casing and (and thats a big AND) the way I can open it. I dont need a big free place on my table to put the lid aside. I can just lift the front up and it stays there. This is so freaking handy. I absolutly dont want to set the lid always with two hands beside to get access to the print. I would always prefere this printing build and also would always pay more for this.
Excellent review mate! There has been rather a dearth of reviews of this fine printer... Best kept secret for sure! Not willing to wait for the Elegoo Mars 3 as I so needed a 4k printer and I needed it Yesterday! Well November yesterday! So I pulled the trigger on the AnyCubic Photon Mono 4K and once I figured out the settings (thanks to your recent vid on resin testing!!!) I am just perfectly delighted with the results I am getting. It beats the prints I was getting when I used to order prints off a FormLabs 2!! Seriously! I create fine detail historical/nautical inspired jewelry cast in pewter and the Mono 4K is spot on delivering for my purpose! So I concur Mr. VOG sir. A well presented and well deserved (by AnyCubic) review!
I used this with 1.8 exposure time on normal layers about 32 on plate layers, and it does a great job. I will say thought my voxel prima is about as good at 2k.... With allot of tweaks of course.

Yeah I remember that one. Lots of cleaning. People don’t realize how time consuming 3d printing actually is. I have friends asking me if I can print them random dollar store items… lol
My local Microcenter has these for $149.99 US, so I picked one up. Even the manufacturer has them for $189! I haven't printed anything yet, but I can't wait to get started!
I have this printer and love it. I will say, the little grooves on the front are a pain to clean if you spill some resin. Also the Fep film on that vat isn't replaceable like normal, you need to buy a replacement from anycubic (or buy a 3rd party vat).
That's very important. I've managed to pierce FEP first day and was unpleasently surprized that you can't replace it yourself, and it uses preinstalled FEP with plastic frame. The printer is great, but i would recommend buying 3rd party vat.
I've been using this since the end of December and have been pleased. The only print failures I've had were from poor supports or temps too cold for my heated enclosure (single digits) My only regret is the build size and not splurging more for the mono x.
I waited months for a review, and last week i bought a Mars 3, cuz i wanst sure if the Mono 4k would be good enough. :'D So yeah, it was interesting from Anycubic, they kept the Mono 4k in the shadows. It was there, but you couldnt see it from the Mono X 6k. Thanks for the review!
I bought this and the UV curing/washing station back in december as my first resin 3d printer, I think I got both and two liter bottles of resin for about 500 dollars, which I thought wasn't a bad deal. The quality of the prints are very good, I've been using PLA-like resin for the most part. My Fep is getting close to unuseable (rookie at work) so I have ordered a few spares for the future. Can't say I noticed this scratch protection film you mentioned either, have to look around for that. Overall the results have been great, my biggest gripes were that I had to disable the lid sensors because it kept failing to notice when the lid was on. No big deal as it doesn't really impact the products. More annoying is a problem I still have with the washing station. The stirrer had a tendency to stop spinning on high RPMs unless I shimmy the tub up at a small inclination with a pencil or something the same thickness. Normally I'd think it would have been the opposite, but here it appears I have to keep the magnets a little bit further apart to make it work well. Overall I'd recommend this for people who'd like to try resin printing for the first time. It's got great details for a good price!

I couldn't print anything properly lately, for example I set to print a space marine helmet, legs, a bolter, 2 arm parts, and the only things that have printed properly are legs and the bolter, the rest was slightly less 1mm thick blobs that I had to scrape off the fep with a metal spatula cuz the plastic one was useless. I've leveled the build plate, did some testing with the exposure time, cleaned the resin in the vat, all useless. I don't know what to do.
i am the middle of doing my review on the 4k its an awesome little machine. not as fast as the mono 2k due to the new advanced settings with the slicer allowing for a gentle pull of the fep allowing us to capture them fine detailed parts. my review should have been out but i have been hit 2 times with food poisoning due to allergies to garlic. achhh. only just getting back on my feet again. but yes i love this machine. very impressed with the price and the quality of the prints. the machine is well worth the price we pay. hope you are well my good friend i will have to message you soon. might have another project casting project for you soon. :)
I'm fairly sure I've received a mask and gloves with every printer I've had to be honest. The screen protectors are new, and are well worth having and fitting.
At least they learned to include a screen protector, i still hate that the mono x didn't come with one, but they already had the easy alignment of the vat with the mono x, why those brackets are back is really odd, so much easier to lift the vat
This is supposed to print fast compared to the photon S but it took me pretty much the same time to print 30mm object, nearly 6 hours at 2sec për layer compared to 6sec on the S!
@@vogman it didnand now im torn between the mono se and the mono 4k haha. Would you mind having a quick look if the resin vat from the mono is the same size as the mono se? The deciding factor for me is the possibility of getting a nice fep frame that i can replace the fep in. I dont think im willing to pay 20 bucks for 2 fep frames from anycubic haha. Thanks in advance vegoilguy
So for others that may be trying to find this out. On reddit people say the sovol vat should work. And i saw a few people that said the vat of the photon would work as well. So i ordered the sovol and the 4k mono im thinking maybe ill make a quick amateur youtube vid to show if it works
Awesome review. Noticed that they have also released the 6K printer and looking forward for a review soon. PS I'm a newb using Mono 2K to print 1/24 parts for model cars. Cheers! :)
Thanks for a great review! Could i ask you.. what CAD program did you use to create these ogers and jewelry, specifically that big ring?? Would love to know!
I get bored printing the same thing and folks get bored seeing it, so I vary my prints to help show people the excellent models that are out there, as well as demonstrate the capabilities of the printers. It's not fair to compare printers just on the basis of a single print, so the video reviews are a useful aid.
Mine I am so mad at it , I could spit nails .. I cant get it to read files off of the USB . It reads the factory stuff just fine . But if put in a file on the flash it will not read it . I have fought it for a month now , and still no prints .
I have been painting 28mm minis for years now and I decided to get a printer , i m thinking between Anycubik mono 4K and coming soon Phrozen mini 8kS .. any advice guys ? For miniatures printing
One small question for someone who JUST got theirs delivered today. What percentage of isopropyl alcohol should I get for when I am cleaning the prints?
So I am doing my first print with a small miniature 30mm. I got a chart on the website for water wash resin and these are the settings. Layer thickness: 0.05 Normal exposure time: 2 off Time/s: 0.5 Bottom exposure time: 40 Bottom Layers: 6 Anti-alias: 1 Z Lift Distance: 6 Z lift speed: 4 Z retract speed: 6 With these settings its saying I have 63 hours to print this thats crazy, is this right? help lol. can i pause and change settings
Rather dumb question but where is the vent for the fumes located on it? Mainly wondering as im looking to make this my first 3D printer, and i would like to ensure good ventilation for it.
Just picked up a mono 4k last week. Waiting on the wash and cure station to arrive but I'm excited to get going. Anyone have any tips for settings using elegoo abs style resin?
hmm. single rail. does it have the same wobble as the mars 3? tbh i chose elegoo over anything for Resin printers due to their support. apparently my mars 3 will arrive tomorrow. wish me luck on my first resin printer. also was wondering what resin i should get. anycubic resinn is cheap but it smells. at least what ive heared. how is creality water washable ones? ive seen no reviews for them. in my country i only get these two brands.
Mr. VOG can make a video about where to get stuff to print on resin printers? I got both FDM and resin printers but rarely used the resin ones... and also can you talk to anycubic about adding a touch calibration to their firmware? I got two Mono S printers and they use the same front lcd with same interface, I had to replace the front lcds 2 times on each printer bc the touch goes out of calibration. (Very common on resistive touch panels...) As far as I read online many people are having the same problem... people even put videos on youtube and reddit showing this problem. Maybe they listen to you. Thank you
It's mostly this 4k version we all use in the armour hobby really it's excellent can't fault it only the slicer but the student 360 is a great free download to use with it!
@VogMan can you please help me with the slicer from them included what setting configuration do you select? My friend has the 2k it's saved on pwmo the 4k reads pmwa so we don't know what one it could be? I have heard the 4k reads the same as the mono X? But I really don't know?

Oh no wonder AnyCubic didn't seem to talk about this thing, because just a few months later (aka now) the 3M Resin Printers are here for not too much more money!
I bought my mono 4k a few months ago , and I haven't been able to print a successful print yet. Just shapes of resin either stuck to the bottom of the vat or to the build plate. Been trying to get help on Reddit but no one seems to know what's up. I just wanna print cool minis !!

It will come with Anycubic PhotonWorkshop, but it's supported by ChiTuBox, Lychee and probably others 😁 As for resin settings, you'll find some on Anycubic.com for their own resin brands www.anycubic.com/blogs/news/resin-settings-for-anycubic-3d-printers#photonmono4k
I’m planning to buy this printer soon. I’m completely new to 3d printing and I have a doubt, is the printer itself enough for printing? Or do we need to have the wash and cure ?
This really is a great starting printer. It prints brilliantly, but the mess isn't for everyone, so it's good to start small. You can start by just dropping your prints into a jar of IPA and swilling this around. Then shake it off and let it dry. BUT you will need a UV curer. I bought a nail varnish curer for a few pennies and placed this over a foil covered box. It's the cheapest way in. I'm pretty sure I cover a bit of everything in the video. It might be worth a look. ruclips.net/video/kL9TCjtPbw4/видео.html
Is it necessary to buy the wash and cure part too? I don’t really know much about resin printing. They seem decent when they come out of the goo, do they need extra cleaning and curing or can you just rinse them with water and set it out on the table for a day or so?
Hi Andrew. Yes, most resin prints need washing off is alcohol, though there are some resins that are water based. Prints also need UV curing. This video should help you with a variety of curing and cleaning options... ruclips.net/video/kL9TCjtPbw4/видео.html
@@vogman to be fair, better and worse is just opinion. The important bit is that your voice comes across clearly, which it does. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos btw.
I've just started using a Photon Mono x 4k printer and the results are really surprising, the detail of the figures is really satisfactory and I also use the Craftsman resin so your settings help me a lot :) Just wondering, what is your advice with ventilation? I've been really worried about working without a mask (I do have gloves though) and I wonder if I should open the windows only when I take the plastic shell out (the yellow protector). Thanks for the review!
Great to hear! Hi Tom. Would you mind sharing your user experience here vegoilguy.co.uk/3drp I'm collating data on all makes and model of 3D printer to share with the printing community. Good input should give us all useful data 😁
i have a few questions if anyone could help me, i live in a 2 rooms apartment, i have space to place the printer in my room but im worried about the possible toxic fumes it makes, i also sleep in this room, could i place the printer in a closed balcony? im worried the moisture and light there will affect the prints and the printer itself and idk what to do,i could also try to encase the printer into some kind of closed cabinet with fans that take fresh air from outside and get rid of fumes outside as well through some tubes. Im thinking of buying it but i dont know, what would you recommend me to do? thanks a lot
Yes, that's fine. I regularly sand prints and they get coated in fine dust. A dip in alcohol usually works. A little warm soapy water does the trick too 😁

I have the Mono 4k since Dec and have been super happy with it. It's priced well, produces excellent prints and where it counts, like the Z rail and the LCD screen, it has not stinged on the parts.
Thanks for the feedback 😁
What programs do you use to print? CAD? How would you recommend someone get into this?
hi did you replace the fep already? if so did you buy a mars vat and buy fep sheets or directly buy preinstalled fep frames from anycubic

Screen protector comes pre installed, they include a replacement one.
So people are telling me... but it doesn't look any different to me 😁😁😁

Hello. What UV power is installed on the 3d printer? 100? 80?
Hola, excelente review! Una duda, el FEP es reemplazable? No tiene ventilación para los olores?
Mine I am so mad at it , I could spit nails .. I cant get it to read files off of the USB . It reads the factory stuff just fine . But if put in a file on the flash it will not read it . I have fought it for a month now , and still no prints .
Which one would you recommend mono 3 or mono 4k?
Hello , nice review.
Did you create custom setings or did you use pre-instaled one ?
$100 off right now, for $189 I don't think I can go wrong
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll place a comment on the Community page 😁😁😁
I have been painting 28mm minis for years now and I decided to get a printer , i m thinking between Anycubik mono 4K and coming soon Phrozen mini 8kS .. any advice guys ? For miniatures printing
I´d love a comparisson between this and the mars 3 ;) , want to decide between those two
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the review. Next time ask them for a discount code please.
One small question for someone who JUST got theirs delivered today. What percentage of isopropyl alcohol should I get for when I am cleaning the prints?
Good video! About the print quality do you thing is it the same as Elegoo Mars 3?
I have an anycubic and I have had many printing problems, with what uv percentage did you make those figures?
So I am doing my first print with a small miniature 30mm. I got a chart on the website for water wash resin and these are the settings.
Layer thickness: 0.05
Normal exposure time: 2
off Time/s: 0.5
Bottom exposure time: 40
Bottom Layers: 6
Anti-alias: 1
Z Lift Distance: 6
Z lift speed: 4
Z retract speed: 6
With these settings its saying I have 63 hours to print this
thats crazy, is this right? help lol.
can i pause and change settings
Rather dumb question but where is the vent for the fumes located on it? Mainly wondering as im looking to make this my first 3D printer, and i would like to ensure good ventilation for it.
Just picked up a mono 4k last week. Waiting on the wash and cure station to arrive but I'm excited to get going. Anyone have any tips for settings using elegoo abs style resin?
Can someone tell me how to get the resin to stick to the plate my husband has tried 3 times and it’s not sticking
hmm. single rail. does it have the same wobble as the mars 3? tbh i chose elegoo over anything for Resin printers due to their support. apparently my mars 3 will arrive tomorrow. wish me luck on my first resin printer. also was wondering what resin i should get. anycubic resinn is cheap but it smells. at least what ive heared. how is creality water washable ones? ive seen no reviews for them. in my country i only get these two brands.
There's no Z Wobble that I could detect. It's very sturdy. And in fairness the wobble issue has also been sorted on the Mars 3.
Mr. VOG can make a video about where to get stuff to print on resin printers? I got both FDM and resin printers but rarely used the resin ones... and also can you talk to anycubic about adding a touch calibration to their firmware? I got two Mono S printers and they use the same front lcd with same interface, I had to replace the front lcds 2 times on each printer bc the touch goes out of calibration. (Very common on resistive touch panels...) As far as I read online many people are having the same problem... people even put videos on youtube and reddit showing this problem. Maybe they listen to you. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to share it.
@@vogman appreciate it
i would like to have seen print results comparde to elegoo mars 3 and phrozen mini 4k
I read that some of these already have an lcd protector attached, and that it comes with an extra. Was this true for you?
It's mostly this 4k version we all use in the armour hobby really it's excellent can't fault it only the slicer but the student 360 is a great free download to use with it!
It's a brilliant entry printer that exceed expectations. I've always loved it 😁👍
@VogMan can you please help me with the slicer from them included what setting configuration do you select? My friend has the 2k it's saved on pwmo the 4k reads pmwa so we don't know what one it could be? I have heard the 4k reads the same as the mono X? But I really don't know?
Muy buen vídeo. Muchas Gracias.

Hi. Thanks for you video.I just bought this printer. Is it necessary to update the printer firmware?
i like your videos, succinct and helpful.
Glad to hear it!
Oh no wonder AnyCubic didn't seem to talk about this thing, because just a few months later (aka now) the 3M Resin Printers are here for not too much more money!
Thank you dear for excellent video suite ! :)
Thank you too
hi,,i want to ask, which one is better in the print result,,,Anycubic DLP photon ultra or photon mono 4k ?
Could someone help me find this in a full on kit of just the essentials please :)? I am not great at finding these things.
I bought my mono 4k a few months ago , and I haven't been able to print a successful print yet. Just shapes of resin either stuck to the bottom of the vat or to the build plate. Been trying to get help on Reddit but no one seems to know what's up. I just wanna print cool minis !!
Hey friend. Were you able to sort it out? If so please share the knowledge. I just got mine :(
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching 😁😁😁
I'm sorry if this is a repeat question - What slicing program do you use for this?
I bought it on the pre-order as my first printer :) haven't been disappointed by it yet! Hoping they update the firmware though so that the AA works
Thanks for the share 😁

I'm collating data on all makes and model of 3D printer to share with the printing community. Good input should give us all useful data 😁
It's on sale for 189 for Father's day. Would you consider that a good value?
Hey VOG, is there a resin that allows you to do lost resin casting with aluminium? Nice review!
What is the photo 4k setting in the anycubic slicer to pick? It's not listed so we don't know
It will come with Anycubic PhotonWorkshop, but it's supported by ChiTuBox, Lychee and probably others 😁
As for resin settings, you'll find some on Anycubic.com for their own resin brands

Can anyone explain me what is the difference between photon mono 4k and photon s msla?Which one is better?
I that one and I love it so much
😁👍👍👍
I’m planning to buy this printer soon. I’m completely new to 3d printing and I have a doubt, is the printer itself enough for printing? Or do we need to have the wash and cure ?
This really is a great starting printer. It prints brilliantly, but the mess isn't for everyone, so it's good to start small. You can start by just dropping your prints into a jar of IPA and swilling this around. Then shake it off and let it dry. BUT you will need a UV curer. I bought a nail varnish curer for a few pennies and placed this over a foil covered box. It's the cheapest way in.
I'm pretty sure I cover a bit of everything in the video. It might be worth a look. ruclips.net/video/kL9TCjtPbw4/видео.html
Great video! I have a bug with mine Mono4k : the Z axe don't renitialize the zero. I have to do by myself manualy.
Sorry to hear that.
New to 3d printing. Does the dust come off easily?
Is it necessary to buy the wash and cure part too? I don’t really know much about resin printing. They seem decent when they come out of the goo, do they need extra cleaning and curing or can you just rinse them with water and set it out on the table for a day or so?
Hi Andrew. Yes, most resin prints need washing off is alcohol, though there are some resins that are water based. Prints also need UV curing. This video should help you with a variety of curing and cleaning options... ruclips.net/video/kL9TCjtPbw4/видео.html
Hi sir can i ask you about print smoth skin
Did you do something to your audio recently? It sounds better, though could just be me.
Actually I have got a new microphone. You must have a very discernible ear. I've been worrying it was sounding a little worse 😁😁😁
@@vogman to be fair, better and worse is just opinion. The important bit is that your voice comes across clearly, which it does. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos btw.
I've just started using a Photon Mono x 4k printer and the results are really surprising, the detail of the figures is really satisfactory and I also use the Craftsman resin so your settings help me a lot :)
Just wondering, what is your advice with ventilation? I've been really worried about working without a mask (I do have gloves though) and I wonder if I should open the windows only when I take the plastic shell out (the yellow protector).
Thanks for the review!
Great to hear! Hi Tom. Would you mind sharing your user experience here vegoilguy.co.uk/3drp

How about the mono x?
i have a few questions if anyone could help me, i live in a 2 rooms apartment, i have space to place the printer in my room but im worried about the possible toxic fumes it makes, i also sleep in this room, could i place the printer in a closed balcony? im worried the moisture and light there will affect the prints and the printer itself and idk what to do,i could also try to encase the printer into some kind of closed cabinet with fans that take fresh air from outside and get rid of fumes outside as well through some tubes. Im thinking of buying it but i dont know, what would you recommend me to do? thanks a lot
is that safe to work with this printer in home room ?
how long does it take to print a miniature? Im really considering getting this printer
Thanks for review!
Did you try to turn AA on?
What is stock firmware version?
In truth, the prints on this machine have been so smooth, AA hasn't come into it. The photos show what I mean.
Amazon UK has a £50 voucher for the Mars 3 right now...
That's good to hear. Thanks for the share.
Hi. Quick question; how would you deal with the dust? Would it be a simple case of just washing it? Thanks.
Yes, that's fine. I regularly sand prints and they get coated in fine dust. A dip in alcohol usually works. A little warm soapy water does the trick too 😁
