Extra features	The BIQU B1 is an advanced 3D printer with a silent 32-bit BTT SKR V1.4 motherboard and ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, offering DIY interfaces (I2C, SPI, WiFi) and dual Z-axis. Its dual BTT B1 TFT35 V3.0 operating system allows real-time monitoring and multiple printing modes, including G-code visualization effects. It stands out for its BIQU SSS (Super Spring Steel), ensuring easy model adhesion and simplified removal, with the possibility of using it on both sides. It includes a filament sensor, automatically pausing printing in case of filament breakage. The multicolored RGB lights integrated into the hotend allow you to view the printing status even at night. Additional notes include the need for a BIQU-specific Type-C cable and extra interfaces for smart filament sensor and BL Touch.	The Anycubic Photon DLP is a resin 3D printer that stands out for its affordability and quality. It uses DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology to cure resin layers with precision, offering resolution of 25-100 microns. Its build volume is 115 x 65 x 155 mm, suitable for modest-sized projects. It includes a 2.8-inch touchscreen, USB and SD card connectivity, and a carbon filter to mitigate odors. It is notable for generating efficient support structures through its custom slicing software. Although it requires care in resin handling and post-processing, it is an excellent option for beginners and professionals who want to explore resin 3D printing with high resolution and ease of use.
