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 Bambu Lab P1S stands out for its “out-of-the-box” practicality, eliminating the need for manual adjustments with automatic calibrations such as bed leveling and vibration compensation. It features multicolor printing capability through the AMS system, allowing up to 16 colors when connecting four AMS units. With an advanced control algorithm, the P1S offers fast printing speeds without sacrificing quality. Equipped with modern features such as filament end sensor, semi-automatic belt tension, direct extruder, welded frame and all-metal hotend, along with a fully enclosed chamber, the P1S promotes a superior printing experience, supporting a wide range of materials.

Conclusion

In conclusion, when comparing the Anycubic Photon and the Bambu Lab P1S, it is clear that both printers cater to different user needs and preferences. The Anycubic Photon, with its affordability, is an excellent choice for beginners or those with limited budgets looking to experiment with resin printing. Its compact build volume and quality output make it suitable for modest-sized projects, while the user-friendly interface and efficient support structure generation enhance its accessibility to novice users. However, it lacks features like power loss recovery and multi-color printing support, which limits its versatility. On the other hand, the Bambu Lab P1S represents a more advanced option, designed for users seeking high performance, speed, and a broader range of materials. Its substantial build volume, automatic calibrations, and support for multi-color printing through the AMS system make it ideal for professionals or enthusiasts looking to push the boundaries of 3D printing. Although it comes at a significantly higher price point, the advanced features and superior printing capabilities provide a stronger value proposition for those willing to invest. Ultimately, the choice between these two models depends on individual priorities—whether it's cost-effectiveness and ease of use with the Photon or the superior performance and features of the P1S. Each printer brings its own strengths to the table, ensuring a suitable match for different types of 3D printing endeavors.
