Anycubic Mono M5S Pro vs M5S

Medium resin printers like the Anycubic Mono MS5 Pro are ideal when you need that extra bit build volume, and it's hard to complain about new features like the resin heater. Once that feature gets into resin printers by default, that's one less thing we have to worry about setting up.

While we generally recommend the more affordable units, if you want to have additional quality of life features then the Anycubic Mono MS5 Pro is ideal, largely because of the heater unit.

The Anycubic Mono MS5 Pro heater comes with "air purification", but this small brick of carbon will not captures resin fumes to any meaningful extent. Resin printers should always be vented when indoors, and filtration should only be used as mitigation. For a safety deep-dive visit our 3D Printing Air Quality Roundup.

Mono M5S Pro and M5S

• The M5S Pro and M5S come with resin runout protection.
• Both come with ACF release film by default.
