Anycubic Mega Pro

The Anycubic Mega Pro is an entry-level 2-in-1 FDM printer: it adds a swappable laser module to the proven i3 Mega kinematics. It suits beginners and hobbyists who want a reliable home printer with the bonus of laser engraving on wood, leather and paper.

The build volume is 210×210×205 mm, with print speeds of 20–100 mm/s (60 mm/s recommended) and layer heights of 0.05–0.3 mm. The dual-gear Titan extruder feeds flexible TPU reliably, the hotend reaches 260 °C, and the heated Ultrabase glass bed goes up to 110 °C, covering PLA, PETG, ABS, HIPS and wood-composite. The 1500 mW laser module engraves a 220×140 mm area. Control is via a 3.5-inch color touchscreen, with a filament runout sensor and power-loss recovery.

Pros

• Two functions in one device: 3D printing and laser engraving with a swappable 1500 mW module
• Dual-gear Titan extruder handles flexible TPU reliably and reduces filament slipping
• Heated Ultrabase glass bed up to 110 °C gives good adhesion and easy part removal once cooled
• Quiet TMC2208 stepper drivers noticeably cut print noise compared with earlier Mega models
• Sturdy all-metal frame and quick assembly in just a few minutes out of the box
• Filament runout sensor and resume-after-power-loss printing

Cons

• Manual assisted bed leveling — no full auto leveling, so beginners need some practice
• No Wi-Fi or network control: printing only from SD card or over a USB cable
• The 1500 mW laser is weak for dense wood and only engraves the surface, it does not cut
• The open frame retains heat poorly, so ABS printing needs protection from drafts

The Mega Pro fits anyone who wants a single desktop machine both for printing functional parts, prototypes and figurines, and for engraving souvenirs and decor. It's a sensible choice for home, school or a small workshop on a limited budget.

Bottom line: a versatile budget 2-in-1 printer with honest Mega-series print quality plus laser engraving as a bonus — in exchange for manual leveling and no wireless connectivity.
