Extra features 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. The Ender 3 V3 KE, an advancement in the Ender line, achieves print speeds of up to 500mm/s with its touchscreen and WiFi connectivity. Although it has a slightly smaller print area than the SE model, it makes up for it with superior print quality. Its robust design, high-quality components, and intuitive wireless control are appreciated, although Creality's mobile app lacks practicality and does not have a closed system. It stands out for its linear track on the X-axis for stability at high speeds and the hotend that supports up to 300°C, ideal for high-temperature filaments.
Support for multiple colors and materials (AMS and CFS) NO NO

Conclusion

In comparing the Anycubic Photon and the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE, several key factors indicate suitability for different user needs and preferences.

The Anycubic Photon, although significantly more affordable, offers high-resolution printing thanks to its DLP technology, making it a solid choice for those primarily focused on detailed, smaller models. Its compact build volume caters well to intricate projects but may limit larger prints. The Photon is user-friendly with its touchscreen interface and is ideal for beginners venturing into resin printing. However, it does not feature power-loss recovery, which could be a drawback for longer print jobs.

Conversely, the Ender 3 V3 KE, released more recently at a higher price point, presents a larger print volume and faster print speeds, making it a better option for users needing versatility in project sizes. It supports a variety of materials, which enhances its capability for diverse printing tasks. The printer's advanced features, including power-loss recovery and improved connectivity options, make it more reliable for intense usage. Its robust construction and ability to handle high-temperature filaments position it as a professional-grade option.

In summary, the choice between these two models ultimately depends on individual needs: the Anycubic Photon is ideal for those seeking affordable, high-resolution prints on a smaller scale, while the Ender 3 V3 KE is preferable for users looking for a versatile, durable printer capable of handling larger projects with more advanced features. Each model offers distinct advantages that cater to different segments of the 3D printing market.
