Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro vs. Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K
Both resin printers compared directly. The lower price, the larger build volume and the smaller pixels (finer XY resolution) according to the manufacturer are marked in green.
The key differences
- The Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro has the larger build volume (6.5 l instead of 5.5 l), so it can print larger parts or more parts per job.
- The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K has the smaller pixels (14 x 19 µm instead of 16.8 x 24.8 µm), so it can reproduce finer detail across the surface.
- Automatic resin refilling is only listed by the manufacturer for the Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro.
- According to the manufacturer, only the Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro has a wired network port (LAN).
