Anycubic Photon M3

The Anycubic Photon M3 is the base model of the M3 line, released in March 2022 at $299. It pairs a 7.6-inch 4096×2560 monochrome LCD with a 40 µm pixel, a 163×102×180 mm build area, a LighTurbo parallel matrix of 28 UV LEDs at 405 nm, four-point manual levelling and USB-only file transfer. As of 2026 the printer is discontinued and only available second-hand.

Owners arrive here with the same questions: how to replace a release film that ships as a sealed frame cartridge, where to source a masking LCD after a resin leak, how to flash firmware that has not been revised since March 2022, and what exposure a given resin needs. Anycubic has almost no spare parts left for the base M3, so most of the answers involve third-party sources.
