Identity
BrandAnycubicCreality
ClassRESINBEDSLINGER
Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1]Creality Ender-3 V3 Plus, marketed as a "Plus-sized CoreXZ 3D Printer"[2]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$749 advertised base sale/from price; $899 compare-at, not launch MSRP. Global USD storefront, Other plug/no resin selected; US price, availability, shipping and tax require checkout. Checked 2026-10-17.[1]$339.00 on store.creality.com, Aug 2026[3]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedLarger sibling of the Ender-3 V3 on the same CoreXZ platform: 300 x 300 x 330 mm against 220 x 220 x 250 mm, with dual Y-axis motors and support rods added to carry the bigger bed. Not to be confused with the bed-slinger SE and KE, which are not CoreXZ[2][4]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable298 × 164 × 300 mm (X × Y × Z), advertised 14.7 L; usable volume not independently measured.[1]300 x 300 x 330 mm[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented410 x 445 x 577 mm[2]
Net weight (kg)24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidNot documentedOpen frame, no enclosure[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedCoreXZ - Creality states the X and Z axes are rigged together so two high-torque motors work in unison; the bed moves in Y on dual motors and support rods[2]
Y-axis guide typeNot documentedY axis driven by two 500 mN.m motors running on two linear rods[2]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear Z rails; manufacturer states 10 µm precision.[1]Not documented
Belts (type, width, e.g. Gates?)Not documentedXZ timing belts are tensioned automatically, which Creality offers as the fix for belt slip and jams[2]
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented600 mm/s max printing speed (Creality Lab claim)[2]
Recommended/typical print speedNot documented300 mm/s typical printing speed (Creality Lab figure, stated in the same footnote as the 600 mm/s claim)[2]
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented20000 mm/s2 max acceleration (Creality Lab claim)[2]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedDirect-drive extruder kit that Creality markets as clog-free[2]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedQuick-swap tri-metal nozzle[2]
Heated Bed & Surface
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved aluminium build plate[1]Not documented
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Four-point manual leveling[1]Not documented
Cooling & Air Handling
Part-cooling fan(s): count, size, ducting designNot documentedTwo part-cooling fans[2]
Electronics & Power
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1]Not documented
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch touchscreen[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB and Wi-Fi; store still labels LAN as scheduled, so availability is unverified.[1]Not documented
Reliability, Support & Ecosystem
Warranty length & support reputation (evidence, not vibes)Not documentedCreality's US store states "Up to 12-Month Warranty", a 14-day return and refund window and "Lifetime Customer Support" on its printer product pages. The "up to" wording means the term is not uniform across parts[5]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD13.6-inch monochrome 7K masking LCD, 46 × 46 µm XY pixel pitch (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Light sourceCOB + Fresnel lens + light-uniformity algorithm[1]Not documented
Light uniformity & intensity4500 ±10% µW/cm² (manufacturer specification)[1]Not documented
Vertical print speedmm/hStandard resin: ≤31 mm/h at 0.05 mm layers; ≤63 mm/h at 0.1 mm. High-speed resin: ≤86 mm/h at 0.1 mm. Manufacturer table also labels ≤63 mm/h as maximum; headline figures differ. No independent measurement added.[1]Not documented
Layer height range0.01–0.15 mm layer height[1]Not documented
Release filmImproved ACF film (manufacturer description)[1]Not documented
Resin vat & feeding≤1.3 L vat, dynamic resin temperature control and auto-fill/recycling support (manufacturer specifications).[1]Not documented
Fume extractionOptional air purifier; filtration efficacy not independently verified.[1]Not documented

Manufacturer claims, independent measurements, packages and test conditions retain their source wording. FDM linear speed and resin vertical speed use different units and are not directly comparable. Unknown values are marked “Not documented”. Prices and source dates remain historical snapshots; check the linked guide for product details. Differences highlight text, not a universal winner.
