As far as head-to-heads in the 3D printing world go, Elegoo Mars vs Anycubic Photon is a classic showdown anyone scoping out the best entry-level resin printers<\/a> has come across. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These 3 machines have everything you need to get started with resin printing at a very fair price – but after using them, I’ve discovered a couple of important differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ease of use<\/strong>, you can’t beat the Photon Mono 4K<\/a>. Anycubic\u2019s streamlined software <\/strong>and adjustable power<\/strong> make it a more straightforward <\/strong>3D printing experience than the Elegoo options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re more confident using 3D printers, the Elegoo Mars 3<\/a> has a larger build volume<\/strong> than the Photon Mono 4K – so you’re less limited in the size of prints you can tackle. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for the best value<\/strong>, you might consider the lower-spec Elegoo Mars 2 Pro<\/a>. <\/strong>If you’re okay with a lower-resolution screen, it is a super affordable beginner choice <\/strong>for a first resin 3D printer.<\/p>\n\n\n
