The Anycubic Photon Mono 4K is a compact MSLA resin 3D‑printer equipped with a 4K monochrome LCD, a 132 × 80 × 165 mm build volume and a 35 µm pixel size. This combination provides high surface detail and stable exposure performance for miniatures, dental models, engineering parts and general‑purpose prototypes. Its 405 nm UV light engine delivers consistent irradiance across the build area, making the Photon Mono 4K fully compatible with all Liqcreate 405 nm resins. This page provides complete Anycubic Photon Mono 4K resin settings, exposure parameters and compatibility notes for all validated Liqcreate 405 nm materials.
Because the Photon Mono 4K uses a high‑transmission monochrome LCD with fast layer exposure, it performs well with both standard and engineering‑grade photopolymers. Exposure behavior differs slightly from the Photon Mono and Photon Mono X series due to the smaller pixel pitch and higher pixel density, so resin settings must be tuned specifically for this 4K model. Validated Liqcreate profiles provide predictable curing, dimensional accuracy and reliable workflow performance without extensive trial‑and‑error. These Photon Mono 4K exposure settings ensure stable curing behavior, predictable layer adhesion and consistent dimensional accuracy across different resin types. For users comparing exposure behavior between different Anycubic systems, the baseline parameters of the Anycubic Photon Mono provide a useful reference point. If you need assistance selecting the right resin or optimizing exposure parameters for the Photon Mono 4K, our technical team can help.
Anycubic Photon Mono 4K resin 3D‑printing parameters
The following Photon Mono 4K exposure settings have been validated to provide reliable curing performance, accurate detail reproduction and stable layer adhesion across multiple Liqcreate materials. The settings below have been tested on the Photon Mono 4K or are based on partner data. Minor variations may be necessary depending on model geometry, temperature, and support strategy. Users transitioning from newer platforms such as the Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro can expect similar optical behavior, though the 4K pixel matrix of the Photon Mono 4K requires slightly different exposure tuning.

About the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K resin 3D‑printer
The Photon Mono 4K was introduced as a high‑resolution compact resin printer within Anycubic’s 2021 lineup. With its 4K monochrome LCD and small build volume, it competes with printers such as the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K and the Elegoo Mars 3. The monochrome LCD provides longer lifespan and faster exposure times compared to older RGB‑based MSLA systems, enabling efficient processing of both fast‑curing and slower engineering resins. Due to its 35 µm pixel size and high UV transmission, the Photon Mono 4K requires resin settings that balance fast exposure with controlled cure depth.
The Photon Mono 4K is fully open to third‑party 405 nm materials, including the complete Liqcreate portfolio. Some settings are validated through in‑house testing or partner data. Since the optical behavior of most monochrome Anycubic printers is similar, the settings of the Anycubic Photon Mono can be used as a baseline when no printer‑specific profile is available. Updated and validated Photon‑Mono‑4K‑specific settings will be published on this page as they become available.

FAQ about resin settings on the Anycubic Photon Mono 4K
Why does the Photon Mono 4K need different resin settings than the Photon Mono? The 4K model uses a higher pixel density and different irradiance profile, so exposure behavior differs from the standard Photon Mono.
Are all Liqcreate resins compatible with the Photon Mono 4K? Yes, the printer supports all 405 nm Liqcreate materials, though exposure times vary per resin type.
Can I use Photon Mono settings as a baseline for the Photon Mono 4K? Yes, but adjustments are required due to the 35 µm pixel size and higher light transmission of the 4K LCD.
Where can I find validated Photon Mono 4K resin profiles? Validated settings are listed on this page and updated as new profiles become available.
