About this item,
- 【Fast and Stable】Anycubic photon mono 4 ultra adopts the new generation ACF film and Intelligent Release Algorithm, accelerating the maximum fast print speed to 120mm/h. ACF film minimises frosted texture to increase light penetration for a much smoother release process to maintain the print accuracy
- 【10K High Precision】 Photon Mono 4 Ultra boasts an impressive 105% increase in print precision compared to Mono 2. A 7-inch 10K screen with a resolution of 9024×5120, each pixel measures a mere 17×17μm on the XY axes. Using 8mm diameter T-type screw rod and precision guide rails, this enhanced capability allows for creating models with exceptional detail and dynamic richness.
- 【Advanced COB Light Source】The COB light source system combined with Fresnel lenses can reach the light angle within 3° ,ensuring no stray light interference on the 7” 10K monochrome. By the Light Uniformity Algorithm, the light uniformity rate reaches ≥90%, reducing dimensional errors in each printed layer and ensuring consistent printing
- 【Larger Size for Upgraded Capacity】Compared to Anycubic Wash & Cure 2, Wash and Cure 3 has an impressive 42% increase in cleaning basket capacity, this makes it perfectly tailored for LCD (light-curing) 3D printers with a size of 7.3 inches or less. The volume of the cleaning bucket has also increased to 4L, meeting the cleaning needs of larger and more 3d models
- 【Gooseneck light design】The “Innovative Flexicure Gooseneck Light Design” of ANYCUBIC increases the energy value by 30,000uW/cm² within a 1-3 cm irradiation range, significantly strengthening the curing effect on subtle areas such as the top of models and the hem of garments
