Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1]Markforged Mark Two, current generation listed as Gen 2[2][3]
Release date (announcement and actual shipping)Not documentedGen 2 dated 2024[2]
Launch MSRP (USD)Not documentedFrom $20,000 (approximately EUR 20,000)[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]Not documented
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedA no-WiFi Gen 2 variant is sold alongside the standard Gen 2 at the same list price; connectivity is therefore not implied by the model name. Sits between the Onyx Pro (fibreglass only) and the X7 (much larger, 330 x 270 x 200 mm). Pricing note: No live USD listing found. CAD Micro lists the Mark Two (Gen 2) at CA$22,386.00, and separately a Gen 2 no-WiFi variant at the same CA$22,386.00, checked Aug 2026 — Canadian dollars, not USD[3][4][5]
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]6.5 L (Aniwaa's figure). Exact XYZ not stated on the sources checked[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented584 x 330 x 355 mm[2]
Net weight (kg)24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1]16 kg[2]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidNot documentedEnclosed desktop cabinet[2]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedContinuous fibre deposition combined with fused filament fabrication[2]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear Z rails; manufacturer states 10 µm precision.[1]Not documented
Hotend & Nozzle
Stock nozzle size & sizes included in boxNot documentedLayer thickness down to 0.1 mm in Z[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
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
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documentedComposites with carbon, glass and Kevlar-reinforced polymers; elastomers (TPU); thermoplastics including PLA and polyamides[2]
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.
