Thank you for the thorough review! This will be my first resin printer. I hope your theory ends up being true. My pre-order is in, but I care about quality more than speed, but went with the M5s because of the auto leveling. Hopefully, better quality will be as easy as changing out the vat and resin. Honestly, it would be nice to have a high-speed and standard-speed option. Thanks again!

Terrific, thorough review--many thanks! I had been planning to get a 3D printer for a while, and having done my research decided on the Anycubic Photon M3 Premium. But when it came time to order one, they weren't available. As near as I could figure out, it was because they had been discontinued in favour of these "new kids on the block", the M5 and M5s. But I didn't want to wait for these to be available, so when I found Anycubic still had some M3 Premiums available on Ebay, I went for it. I knew I might be sacrificing some of these newer features, but I've been delighted with my M3 Premium, and now after watching your video feel like maybe I didn't sacrifice too much after all.

I like the idea of auto-levelling, however I don't trust that the auto-level system in this printer is a robust system that will keep working flawlessly for at least a couple of years, I suspect that those spinrgs and the compression on the screen will end up causing problems over the short-medium term.

Awesome video, fella. Really appreciate the insights. I need detail rather than speed, but the self-levelling and warnings are also very valuable to me as time savers - even if I'm not printing as maximum speed! My plan is to go straight for FEP or PFA. I'll probably go with the screen protector until confidence increases since this is my first machine. Cheers! Subscribing! 👍🏻

@dynamicdigitalcreations Год назад

Thanks for the great video, very infomative. I am looking at one of these as a backup to my Formlabs Form 3 resin printer. Regarding the milky look of the ACF, the Vat on the Form 3 is completely milky and not transparent in any way yet produces brilliant prints. Makes me wonder about there explanation regarding the travel of the light being Energy.

@SpottedPainter Год назад

Absolute craziness. My acf comes tomorrow and I'll be testing as well.

@RocketGeek Год назад

A material can be "translucent" or "transparent" at different energy levels and/or wavelengths. Energy at a certain wave band lengths is also known as "light". The difference between white light and UV light may make that translucent ACF sheet more transparent. Also, the pixels on the M5s are rectangular, so what would happen to your test plates if you rotated them right 45 and 90 degrees?

@carlanderson5068 Год назад

I came here to say the same thing. I'd really like to see the the rotated result, too.

@Tawnos_ 11 месяцев назад

Moreover, material can be similar to ulexite or selenite and maintain a 1:1 fiber-optic like parallel projection through the material. I don't know the properties of this sheet, but if the engineers are saying the perceived translucency isn't the cause of this issue, I'm inclined to believe them.

@Blake-jl8lh 10 месяцев назад

"wave band lengths"

@magikarp2063 Год назад

Please compare the ACF film to normal FEP. I've preordered the mars 4 ultra and I wanna know if I should just instantly switch the VAT to normal FEP.

@tomhugues7033 Год назад

Hi Ross, I pre-ordered the M5s and was straight away concerned about the ACF due to being translucent. In my experience, the more distance you have between the LCD crystals and the resin in the vat (glass, screen protector, air gap, ...), the more light bleed you get and with the ACF diffusing the light "energy" on top of that you might end up in a loss of sharpness. I never put a screen protector for this reason and luckily never had a pierced film issue. I have yet to test the super thin nFEP/FEP for improving sharpness. I'm looking forward to see if a few changes would improve the sharpness from my mini 8k.

@_SamUSA_ Год назад

I am also in the same pre-order boat as you. This idea of UV being "energy", not light, and is not being affected by ACF opaque diffusion of the light passing through the film is complete nonsense. UV is ordinary every day light that has unique properties that we take advantage of in our resin printers. PROOF: UV was discovered by using a prism that divided all incoming light.

Hello Faux Hammer. Im currently using a Photon Mono X printer, and was looking at this one in particular. I dont care about speed prints really, i dont mind a print takes 6 hours, as long as i get nice results. What are your current favorite printer in the 500 ish price range for miniatures?

@retromodernart4426 Год назад

@FauxHammer Is that ACF on the M5S transparent when you put it onto a flat surface? For example, if you put it on a paper with some text on it, does it still look "cloudy"? Just for reference, the Aorita ACF is perfectly transparent when it's on a flat surface. Also, ACF (which is almost certainly "Amorphous Cellulose Film", bonded to a silicone substrate) is ~6% less transmissive of UV than FEP or PFA. Good, thorough, informative review, thanks for all that effort, it's appreciated!

@WIBRTyranT Год назад

screen size is generally done by measuring from a bottom corner of a screen to an opposite top corner, diagonally across the screen. they do this all the time with computer monitors as well.

@erlinghagendesign Год назад

Some notes on automatic leveling and AFC: 1. Force detection for automatic bed leveling: There is a printed circuit board (electronic sensor board connected to the main board in the lower housing) in the head under the large round screw to which the print platform is attached. Nothing mechanical under the tray. In fact, that would be trivial, not smart, and prone to error. When the platform is pressed down, the flexible part (AFC) deforms so that the screen part adheres firmly to the pressure platform. At the same time, the machine detects the pressure between the pressure platform and the screen component (AFC) and uses a preset value to determine whether leveling is complete. Once the preset value is reached, printing can begin. Therefore, do not replace the AFC film with another film. Pressure scanning would then no longer be possible. 2. AFC ( yes translucent ): I recommend to use the supplied original R.E.R.F.stl file ( R_E_R_F" (Resin Exposure Range Finder) ) for each resin type for this printer. 8 different exposure models are printed in time steps of 0.25s (1.5s-3.25s) and are really intelligently modeled. You can download it from Support / Model Download. Each model has a number that refers to the exposure time and a very detailed explanation is provided. In general, speed vs. resolution: the application/resin determines the choice and requirements. There is no general golden rule. You need to match the 12K to your needs and you will get great results. Have fun printing - Herri in China. PS: the current Wash bucket (Wash & Cure Pro) is not large enough for the 10.1in platform. Models need to be removed to be washed and cured. That is really a pity in the moment. There is a larger bucket in development, but no availability time is scheduled yet.

I was pretty sure that after your replies for the shorts comment, and after you've already said it's 99.9% the film, that you'll buy a new film, put it instead of this ACF and use frozen 8k like in your other videos and would include this testing in this video that took really long time to come up. Not to be rude, I thank you for your reviews and information, but this has stole 26 minutes from my life, you've added nothing new, and even subtracted the most (and only) important testing to a next video. When you said "If you've already preordered it please stop watching now" - this was acualy wrong because if the film replacement provides better details than the 8k midrange ones (with slow speed, 0.2mu hight, frozen 8k resin) for miniatures - then there is no reason for anyone to cancel it, or to choose the m5 instead, and we can enjoy both worlds.

@cyberkyv Год назад

@Smathalgoth Год назад

After some of the initial hype over these printers was going around, I actually sourced a sheet of this ACF film to experiment with on a Mono 4k. I have noticed zero difference in detail for the same exposure settings vs an NFEP sheet, and was able to get away with much higher lift speeds along with finer support tips than would reliably work for me previously. So I don't think the ACF film is to blame here. My guess would be this "12k" screen Anycubic and Elegoo have sourced is just crap, the rectangular pixels just being the tip of the iceberg of compromises.

I'm really curious as to the price of this fast resin. I am currently printing hundreds of pieces of dungeon blocks and I have been comparing quality vs. cost vs. speed when determining what to print with my fdm printer vs. my resin printer. With the resin printing I'm getting faster prints with better detail bed at a 50% increased cost using run-of-the-mill resin. If you have to use the special fast resin to get faster prints, what additional costs are you having to put into the resin to gain that speed?

I had orignally looked at getting the 8KS, but after that I thought the marginal quality loss for the ability to prototype would be worth it.

Been waiting for this one. I got my preorder in, and I am sticking with it as i need more build volume, this is Anycubic's premier option, and I dont think they will leave this without improvement over time. The Athena is a Kickstarter, so delivery is in question, and the cost looks to be 2X this unit if not more. This has the features I am looking for at the right price from a dependable company. It will work well alongside my Mars 3 Pro. I can pump out terrain fast.

@@anab0lic There is also the consideration that if you have a resin printer already buying an FDM printer only to print terrain makes that terrain very expensive. If you are buying a printer (don't already have one, or are adding a second) then look at the use case, if it is only to print terrain absolutely buy FDM over resin, if however you are buying a printer and want to print miniatures and some terrain I would expect resin is the more cost effective solution.

Screens are measured corner to corner diagonally which is where they get the 10.1" figure. The calculator that you were using measured the length and width like you would for a rectangle which would yield a different figure than the industry standard for screen size measurement.

So, if I keep my M5s pre-order, replace the acf film with a regular fep. Start using regular resin at regular speed. I might get the details, do have auto leveling, and hardly paid any extra due to the pre-order discount? All based on the assumption that the acf film is likely the cause?

@muhammadsammy9484 Год назад

Thanks for the great review, can't wait to see what it would look like with normal PFA (nFEP) sheet, if that is the real culprit....honestly I'm assuming it's the sprint system on the screen, maybe it's designed so that it pushes further than normal each layer, and that's how it's detecting failures or things that are stuck... This would mean that the force sensors on the printer are not very sensitive, and it requires slightly more force than normal to get the layers in One way to test that would be to check for Z height accuracy, compared to XY, if my hypothesis is correct, you're Z accuracy would be lower than normal, when using the same resin compared to other printers I'm on the fence of cancelling my order, I ordered a few of this printer because of the amazing price and features, but it seems all too good to be true

@pavelbotezat808 Год назад

Just got an answer for Anycubic: About the effect of using ACF: The ACF film has a thickness of 0.3mm and a matte surface on the bottom, which differs from the 0.15mm smooth FEP release film. Due to the light scattering phenomenon within the resin vat, the ACF film may slightly affect the surface details of the printed model. Specifically, it could result in a decrease in the model's matte finish and the appearance of minor fine lines. However, in practical printing scenarios using non-high-speed resin with a layer thickness of 0.05mm, 16x anti-aliasing, grayscale 0, and blur 3 settings, the print quality is comparable to that of the M5. Moreover, the light scattering effect of the ACF film can actually improve the anti-aliasing performance compared to FEP.

@FauxHammer Год назад

so, when you print with 16x AA!!! That's a lot!

@brianhickling1867 Год назад

So we are really getting there! That now admitted light scattering of the ACF may indeed "improve" anti-aliasing, which is in fact blurring, if you are fast printing with the 0.1mm layers or normal printing at 16x anti-aliasing with 3 blur settings but your high definition models will always suffer. So a M5 or M5s with nFEP will always outperform as regards accuracy of printing compared to using ACF. I commend Anycubic for honesty here but I strongly suggest they ship with two resin vats one with ACF for speed another with nFEP for accuracy... before more customers jump boat.

I got one of these and first time using today. I wish they had move video on the clean up. I made a mistake on my first clean up. After emptying the vat, it had bits stick to the vat, so as carefully as I did try to remove by scraping, bad mistake. I should have run the vat clean and remove this way with one go. Hopeful not creating problem, but I can see visual lines now. I went to order another vat to have anyway, but you cannot as yet in New Zealand. Putting on the screen protector - oh my. Like you said, it has air gaps on the bevel of the screen. But for me, I have some air bubbles that I am sure is creating problem when I try to print flat services like a cube box that is required for the job I paid to buy this printer. To hold PCB boards. Time for my second print, a box with a lid, well this did not turn out well at all. The flat top of the lid was not flat, and the resin did not set right. I'm going to remove the screen protector and try again another day. Other screen protecters are on order and to be honest, like a cell phone, I just never use them. Only two prints so I will keep playing and learning. As a beta release I got 6 lots of 1KG of fast resin. I wish they had ship others to play with. Look forward to your review on the non- s version. I hope I have not made a mistake but it was not a large amount of money anyway.

@666Azmodan666 Год назад

how does the film change in the container look like? whether the film is in a permanently glued frame and you have to buy one in a frame or you can cut the film and tighten it with screws only. I made a preorder but I definitely care about the detail, I wonder if I will get the detail and what other costs will be incurred to obtain it.

@jeremiahembs5343 Год назад

Changing film is usually pretty easy but takes time. The film is held in a frame with screws then stretched over a rim in the bottom of the vat creating tension and the frame held in the vat with more screws. The screws are hex screws of different sizes so require 2 sizes of wreches or hex screwdrivers. It's important to get the tension on the film right. Too tight and the frame doesn't fit together again, too loose and it doesn't lay flat. Somewhere between is ideal and will release the model you are building easily. There are videos on youtube about the way to change fep film. We'll see if fauxhammers test with the more clear film fixes the print quality or not.

@666Azmodan666 Год назад

yes I know that the film is in the frame and it is screwed to the tank. I meant whether the frame itself consisting of two parts is to be screwed or is it glued together permanently and you have to buy a film in the frame (which is not cheap) or try to dismantle it without damaging it and remake it so that it is screwed as I have seen on others movies. Unfortunately, as I can see, it is glued together permanently, but I won't be modifying it, so I came to the conclusion that I will make a whole new one out of aluminum (I have a small cnc) and it will be eternal, and the only thing I will have to buy is the film itself.

@jeremiahembs5343 Год назад

@@666Azmodan666 I would think if the frame is in two parts but glued together the glue just helps to seal the film better. So if it doesn't have screws to hold the frame itself together obviously the frame could be drilled and tapped for that to make it like other frame, but I would also think or there are probably after market frames that will fit the vat. I've never seen one that couldn't be replaced, but I have a machine that is a couple of years old.

hello. I want to first say that I am truly and deeply grateful to you. It is common for most reviews of sponsorship to cleverly hide the flaws and highlight the strengths. So I think it is more difficult to find accurate and honest information in this age of overflowing information. In the meantime, thank you so much for watching your many videos. I fell in love with your cautious but at least trying to convey the facts. I already have an anycubic mono X2 and have been searching and searching for a lot of printer information for a long time to buy a better printer. Honestly, except for the small bed of the mono X2, it's already a nice enough printer for me. But at the same time I wanted a printer, so I was trying to buy the anycubic M3 premium model, but at the same time, the sale stopped and I suddenly found a new printer. Recently I was very excited to see a 12k, self-leveling printer, but I couldn't afford the m5s. The reason is, will the print be good enough to realize 12k with my own eyes? Will the automatic leveling system create another issue? For example, the sensor is broken, or the spring is broken. Anyway, I'm not sure if you'll read my comment, but I really appreciate you. Thank you so much for updating this accurate review so quickly. As expected, I was convinced that an 8k printer would suffice and the fast speed was a bit of a trick. ps: I am Korean. I just wanted to say thanks to you so I used Google Translate. If my English is strange, I ask for your understanding. :)

At the end of the day, its really about the money and I understand it. I don't have to like it, but its a reality.
