What happened
Tom's Hardware reviews the Anycubic Photon P1 MAX, a large resin 3D printer priced at $1,103, featuring a heated vat, Wave Release Technology, and a locking build plate and vat. It is positioned as a top pick for buyers wanting a bigger, feature-packed resin printer.
Why it matters
For builders or makers in the community considering in-house prototyping or small-batch hardware production, this review flags a specific large-format resin option at a known price with concrete features to compare against alternatives like the smaller P1.
Discussion angle
Whether large-format resin printing at this price point is worth it for local hardware startups versus outsourcing prototyping to Malaysian 3D printing services.
