The Anycubic Photon Mono X2 represents a significant refinement within Anycubic’s medium‑format MSLA lineup, positioned between the original Photon Mono X and the more recent M3‑series printers. Equipped with a 9.1‑inch 4K+ monochrome LCD, reinforced Z‑axis assembly and an upgraded Light Turbo Matrix, the Mono X2 delivers higher accuracy, improved uniformity and more consistent curing behavior across a wide range of Liqcreate and third‑party 405 nm resins. These hardware improvements result in predictable cure depth, stable layer adhesion and enhanced repeatability, especially when switching between engineering, flexible or high‑viscosity resin formulations.
Thanks to its high‑transmittance LCD and optimized UV matrix, the Photon Mono X2 handles both fast‑curing standard resins and more demanding engineering materials with stable exposure performance. Users familiar with the original Mono X will notice improved dimensional accuracy and reduced variance across the build plate, while those transitioning from the M3‑series will find the Mono X2 to be a capable mid‑range alternative with reliable optical behavior. If parameters for your resin are not yet available, the validated Photon Mono X settings provide a reliable baseline for dialing in exposure values. For a broader overview of compatible printers and materials, the Liqcreate resin setting database provides validated parameters for nearly all monochrome MSLA systems.

Anycubic Photon Mono X2 resin 3D‑printing settings
The following resin parameters have been validated on the Anycubic Photon Mono X2 to ensure stable curing behavior, accurate detail reproduction and consistent dimensional performance across all tested Liqcreate materials. These settings include optimized exposure times, lift speeds, bottom layer behavior and recommended support strategies tailored to the 4K+ monochrome LCD and Light Turbo Matrix used in the Mono X2.
| Resin | Layer thickness | Exposure time (seconds) | Base layer count | Base layer exposure | Lift Height (mm) | Lift speed / retract speed (mm/min) | |
| Premium Black | 50 µm | n/a | 2,5 | 3 | 40 | 6 | 90 / 240 |
| Premium Model | 50 µm | 3,0 | 2 | 35 | 6 | 90 / 240 | |
| Premium Tough | 100 µm | 9,0 | 2 | 50 | 6 | 90 / 150 |
** Tough-X, Flexible-X and Premium flex require heavy supports, Elastomer-X requires extra heavy supports.
About the Anycubic Photon Mono X2 resin 3D‑printer
The Anycubic Photon Mono X2 builds upon the architecture of the original Mono X with a higher‑resolution 4K+ monochrome LCD, improved light uniformity and a reinforced Z‑axis for greater mechanical stability. These upgrades result in more consistent exposure behavior across the full build area, reducing print variance and improving dimensional accuracy for engineering, dental and general‑purpose applications. Combined with the Light Turbo Matrix, the Mono X2 provides uniform irradiance and predictable cure depth, making it a reliable platform for Liqcreate 405 nm materials.

FAQ — Anycubic Photon Mono X2 resin settings & compatibility
1. How does the Photon Mono X2 differ from the original Mono X in resin performance? The Mono X2 features a 4K+ monochrome LCD, improved light uniformity and a reinforced Z‑axis, resulting in more consistent curing behavior and higher dimensional accuracy compared to the original Mono X.
2. Are Photon Mono X resin settings compatible with the Mono X2? Yes. The Mono X2 shares similar optical characteristics with the Mono X, making those settings a reliable baseline when dedicated Mono X2 parameters are not available.
3. Can the Mono X2 print engineering and flexible Liqcreate resins? Yes. The high‑transmittance LCD and Light Turbo Matrix provide stable exposure performance for tough, flexible and engineering‑grade Liqcreate materials, though heavy supports are recommended for Tough‑X, Flexible‑X and Premium Flex.
4. Does the 4K+ LCD improve surface quality and detail? The higher pixel density and improved light uniformity of the 4K+ LCD result in cleaner surface detail, more accurate edges and reduced variance across the build plate.
5. What should I do if my resin is not listed in the Mono X2 table? Use the validated Photon Mono X settings as a starting point and adjust exposure times in small increments. For assistance, Liqcreate engineers can help optimize parameters.
