This is almost as good as past deals on Monoprice resin printers.

For anyone just starting out in 3d printing, be sure to do your homework before looking at resin printers. The material isn't cheap and print sizes are small, but it has a huge advantage over extrusion printers in resolution.

Think miniature figurines and molds for casting small parts/jewelry and you'll be setting your expectations correctly.

Don't forget, THE SCREENS ARE CONSUMABLES. New users almost always look this this one over.

The screens do fail, but I wouldn't say they are consumable. There have been reviews on the new mono screen claiming to have lasted over 5000 hours. My original photon non-mono screen lasted about a year, and then only had a few dead pixels in one area.

What is consumable is the FEP film on the VAT. I recommend picking up a spare VAT and pack of FEP films. Many VATs are interchangeable with the photon, a lot companies just copied the same design. I have been using an elegoo VAT on mine because it was cheaper.

You can try increasing the initial layer exposure time for starters. What model are you using, and are you using supports? You need to make sure the initial layer surface area is larger than any other layer in the print. There a few good facebook user groups that have good support.

They are completely different technologies, this is a resin based printer that uses UV light to cure liquid resin, the ender extrudes plastic filament through a nozzle. The feature size and detail of the photon is about 10 times better than the ender, but you have a much smaller print size, resin costs significantly more than filament, and you have to post process each print that can be a bit messy. The detail is incredible though (10 microns in Z direction, 51 microns in X-Y), it depends on your application.

To simplify and expound: These are better for small, finely-detailed prints, such as figures/miniatures, chess pieces, jewelry, etc. They are far messier (gloves, smelly chemicals, etc), more expensive to use/maintain (higher resin(plastic) cost and other consumables) and the post processing is much more labor intensive (need to wash parts and then "cure" (aka harden) them with UV light. You can things to make these processes faster/easier, but you'll spend almost as much on the the other parts as the printer.

It's like comparing apples to oranges. Both do different things. Quality of prints is higher detail on resin printer. Post processing is more work too. Fdm prints have visible layer lines. Those are the major differences.

I have joined the "Anycubic Photon Printer Owners" group, but there may be more specific to your printer's exact model.
