Anycubic Photon P1 Max vs. Elegoo Jupiter 2
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 P1 Max has the larger build volume (18.3 l instead of 14.7 l), so it can print larger parts or more parts per job.
- The Elegoo Jupiter 2 has the smaller pixels (20 x 26 µm instead of 24.8 x 24.8 µm), so it can reproduce finer detail across the surface.
- Automatic resin refilling is only listed by the manufacturer for the Elegoo Jupiter 2.
- According to the manufacturer, only the Anycubic Photon P1 Max has a wired network port (LAN).
