Description
The Anycubic Photon Mono 4 is an entry-level budget resin printer built around a monochrome LCD. It suits beginners who want to step into resin printing without a big spend, and hobbyists printing miniatures, models and figures where detail matters.
Its key feature is the 7-inch monochrome 10K screen (9024×5120) with a 17×17 µm pixel size, delivering high print detail. The build volume of 153×87×165 mm (up to 2.2 L) is one of the largest in its price class. A parallel matrix light source gives even exposure with no grid lines, print speeds up to 70 mm/h with high-speed resin, and a layer height range of 0.03–0.15 mm. It is controlled via a 2.8-inch touchscreen, transfers files over USB, and supports print resume after a power loss.
Pros
- High 10K resolution (9024×5120) and 17 µm pixel — excellent detail on miniatures and figures for the money
- Large-for-class build volume of 153×87×165 mm (2.2 L) — fits sizable models
- Parallel matrix light source gives even exposure with no grid lines or uneven curing
- Quiet operation — only the board and light-source cooling fans are audible
- Works with a wide resin range: standard, high-speed, water-washable, ABS-like and plant-based
- Simple 4-point manual bed leveling and print resume after power loss
Cons
- The activated-carbon air purifier is not included and must be bought separately
- No camera for monitoring prints or shooting time-lapses
- No Wi-Fi and no Anycubic app support — files are transferred only over USB
- Bed leveling is manual (4-point), with no auto leveling
The Photon Mono 4 fits home and hobby use: printing tabletop miniatures, figures, busts and precise parts. It's a solid choice for a first resin printer when you need high detail and a meaningful build volume on a minimal budget.
Bottom line: a balanced entry-level resin printer — high 10K resolution and a large build plate in exchange for no Wi-Fi, camera or auto leveling.
