Anycubic Mono X 6K: Price, Size & Features

The new Anycubic Mono X 6K is primarily just a Photon Mono X with a resolution boost. The Mono X 6K has slightly more build volume, a built-in screen protector, and a bump of the XY resolution from 0.05mm to 0.035mm.

For those new to medium-sized resin printers, the Mono X 6K is a solid pick, but if you already have a medium 4K printer, this does not really warrant a upgrade.

What's New

• The Photon Mono X 6K comes with a screen protector, which is not a default for the 4K Mono X.
• The Mono X 6K also comes with a textured build plate, which supposedly provides an increase in resin adhesion for the first layer.

Specifications

• 9.25" Monochrome LCD (5760 x 3600 px)
• Metal Vat
• XY Resolution: 0.034mm
• Build Volume: 197 x 122 x 245mm
• Layer Thickness: 0.01-0.15mm
• Printer Size: 290 x 270 x 475mm
• Power Consumption: 120 W

Pros

• Screen protector built-in by default.
• Adjustable UV power from 30-100%.
• Marginal build area increase over the regular Mono X, 192 x 120mm to 197 x 122mm.

Cons

• The Mono X 6K's screen replacement cost is $145.

Final Thoughts

• The Mono X 6K will be a perfect option for large or batch jewelry casting, commercial products, non-painted figures, or anyone with splash cash to get higher quality prints, even if the printer brings diminishing returns.
• If you do not need the build volume of a medium resin printer, we recommend going for the Photon Mono 4K or Mars 3 in order to save money and determine if MSLA is right for you.
