Description
The Anycubic Photon M3 Max is a large-format resin (LCD) printer from the Photon M3 line, aimed at enthusiasts and small workshops that need a big build area at high resolution. Its standout feature is the 13.6" 7K masking screen combined with a spacious 14.7-liter build volume.
The build area measures 298×164×300 mm, and the monochrome screen with 6480×3600 pixels (7K) yields a 46-micron pixel size with a 450:1 contrast ratio. A matrix light source of 84 LEDs provides even illumination and print speeds up to 60 mm/h. The Z axis runs on dual linear rails and a ball screw with 10-micron accuracy, and a smart resin-filling system tops up the vat and stops automatically when it is full.
Pros
- Large 298×164×300 mm build area (14.7 L) — prints big models in one piece or many parts in a single run
- Crisp detail: the 13.6" 7K screen with a 46-micron pixel delivers smooth surfaces and sharp fine features
- Matrix light source with 84 LEDs gives even exposure across the whole field and consistent quality in the corners
- Smart resin filling tops up the vat during printing — no need to watch the level on long jobs
- Reinforced Z axis on dual rails and a ball screw provides smooth platform motion and 10-micron accuracy
- Laser-engraved build platform improves adhesion and raises the print success rate
Cons
- Manual 4-point leveling of the large platform is trickier than on small printers and needs care
- The big vat means higher resin consumption and a stronger smell — good ventilation is required
- The 60 mm/h print speed is modest for this size: tall models take a long time
- Discontinued — support and spare parts are harder to find, and the factory warranty is no longer available
The Photon M3 Max suits anyone who needs a large print area: modelers, makers of large-scale miniatures, cosplay-prop builders and small studios printing batches of parts. It is a tool for users ready to work with resin and to spend time on post-processing.
Bottom line: one of the most affordable ways to get a large resin build area with a 7K screen — in exchange for manual leveling, material consumption and discontinued status.
