Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max[1]Snapmaker J1S High Speed IDEX 3D Printer[2][3]
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]$1,399.00 at MatterHackers, listed as currently unavailable with a pre-order option quoting roughly 5 weeks, checked Aug 2026[2]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Not documentedThe J1s differs from the original J1 by an additional part-cooling fan. Usable volume depends on the print mode: 300 x 200 x 200 mm in default and backup modes, 160 x 200 x 200 in copy mode, 150 x 200 x 200 in mirror mode[2][3]
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 200 x 200 mm in default and backup modes[2]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)Not documented539 x 401 x 464 mm[2]
Net weight (kg)24 kg (manufacturer specification)[1]25 kg net[2]
Frame construction & materialNot documentedAluminium-alloy frame with one-piece die casting and linear rails; Snapmaker quotes rail repeatability of +/-0.03 mm in X/Y and +/-0.02 mm in Z[3]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)Not documentedIDEX — two independently driven extruders[2][3]
X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size)Not documentedLinear rails[3]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear Z rails; manufacturer states 10 µm precision.[1]Not documented
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented350 mm/s maximum (manufacturer claim)[3]
Max acceleration (claimed, mm/s²)Not documented10,000 mm/s2 maximum (manufacturer claim)[3]
Hotend & Nozzle
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented300 °C maximum (manufacturer claim)[2][3]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented100 °C maximum (manufacturer claim)[2]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved aluminium build plate[1]Custom dual-sided PEI glass plate: glossy glass on one face, PEI coating on the other[2][3]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Four-point manual leveling[1]3-point bed levelling, which Snapmaker contrasts with 9-16 point systems; assisted calibration quoted at about 10 minutes[3]
Electronics & Power
Host computer (SoC, RAM, storage) if firmware runs on embedded LinuxNot documented1 GB RAM, 8 GB eMMC; the 5-inch display runs Android[2]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)180 W power supply (manufacturer specification; not measured consumption)[1]Not documented
Input voltage (110/220 V, switch or auto)Not documentedAC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 4.4 A max input; DC 24 V, 400 W max output[2]
Total rated power drawNot documented400 W maximum output[2]
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedNot named by Snapmaker; the supplied slicer is Luban, with third-party software supported[2]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch touchscreen[1]5-inch Android display, 1280 x 720[2]
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB and Wi-Fi; store still labels LAN as scheduled, so availability is unverified.[1]Wi-Fi, USB cable, USB flash drive[2]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listNot documentedPLA, ABS, HIPS, PC, TPU, TPE, PETG, ASA, PP, PVA, PA, PA-GF, PA-CF[2]
Noise & Power Consumption
Noise: claimed dB and independently measured dB (distance/method)Not documentedLess than 50 dBA claimed by the manufacturer. No independent measurement; distance and method not stated[2]
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD13.6-inch monochrome 7K masking LCD, 46 × 46 µm XY pixel pitch (manufacturer specification)[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.
