This printer offers incredible detail (<= 30um). Perfect for painting eyes on 28mm miniatures.
Introduction
The Anycubic Photon Mono M5s ($300) was the pioneer of consumer 12K printing. Even as newer models arrive, its price makes it a compelling option.
Printing Performance
Its 19×24 micron resolution (12K) is fantastic. While technically lower pixel count than the 14K models, the visual difference on a painted miniature is negligible to the human eye. You still get sharp, competition-ready prints.
Build Quality & Size
It features a 10.1-inch 12K Mono LCD with a build volume of 218.88 x 122.88 x 200 mm. It introduced the leveling-free sensor technology, which remains a great feature for consistency.
Final Verdict
A trailblazer that still holds up, offering 12K quality and ease of use at a competitive price point.
