Identity & Market
Manufacturer & exact marketed model name (verify the exact product identity first)ANYCUBIC Photon Mono M7[1][2]Voron 0.2, current revision R1. Sold under kit vendors' names: "Voron V0.2-S1 (R1) 3D Printer Kit by LDO & HoneyBadger", "Voron 0.2 R1 Latest Version CoreXY 3D Printer Kit" (Formbot)[3][4]
Street price (USD; dated snapshot per entry)$493.00 on store.anycubic.com against a $597.00 compare-at price, in stock and quoted as shipping in 24 hours, checked Aug 2026[1]There is no single price: Voron is an open design and kits come from several vendors. Formbot's kit is $328.06 (was $349.00, 6% off), in stock, checked Aug 2026. The LDO & HoneyBadger V0.2-S1 kit is $639.99 but sold out. Neither figure includes printed parts unless the option is selected[3][4]
Variants & sibling models — and how to tell them apart (spec-contamination risk)Distinct from the Photon Mono M7 Pro, which shares the 223 x 126 x 230 mm envelope and a 10.1-inch 14K LCD but adds LighTurbo 3.0 optics, a heated peristaltic-pump vat and auto resin refill, and runs 170 vs 150 mm/h on high-speed resin. The M5s is a different machine again (12K, 218 x 123 x 200 mm). 3DJake shows the M7 sold out[1][5][6][2][7]Two things get conflated. First, revision: R1 is the current one, adding a filament-runout sensor, MR85 bearings and fastener changes. Second, kit vendor: the LDO/HoneyBadger S1 kit ships an SKR Pico, E3D Revo, HoneyBadger dual-sided PEI/CF bed and 200 W supply, while the Formbot kit ships a TZ V6 or Dragon hotend and a 150 W supply, so hotend and PSU specs are vendor-specific, not model-specific. Printed parts are an extra on both[3][4]
Physical & Frame
Build volume X×Y×Z (mm) — advertised vs actually usable223 x 126 x 230 mm (Anycubic quotes 6.5 L)[1][2]120 x 120 x 120 mm[3][4]
Machine footprint (mm) & clearance needed (cable/spool overhang)312 x 315 x 520 mm[1][2]Not documented
Net weight (kg)12 kg[1][2]Not documented
Frame construction & materialNot documentedAluminium-extrusion CoreXY frame with acrylic panels (LDO kit); the LDO/HoneyBadger build uses a 100 mm top hat. X axis on a genuine HIWIN rail, Y and Z on HoneyBadger stainless rails[3]
Enclosure: open / enclosed; panel material; door/lidOpen-frame MSLA with a UV-blocking cover[1]Enclosed by acrylic panels in the LDO kit[3]
Kinematics & Motion Hardware
Kinematics (bedslinger i3 / CoreXY / other)MSLA, single Z axis on dual linear rails, straight-lift peel[1][2]CoreXY with the build plate moving in Z[3][4]
X-axis guide type (rods / linear rails / V-wheels; size)Not documentedGenuine HIWIN linear rail on X in the LDO kit[3]
Z-axis: leadscrew count & type, sync mechanism, anti-backlashDual linear rails, Anycubic quotes 10 um Z precision[1]Not documented
Speed & Acceleration
Max print speed (claimed, mm/s)Not documented250 mm/s max print speed, 300 mm/s max travel (Formbot kit listing). This is a kit-vendor figure, not a Voron Design specification[4]
Extruder
Type (direct drive / bowden) & design nameNot documentedDirect drive in a Mini Stealthburner toolhead with a picobilical board and umbilical cable (LDO kit)[3]
Hotend & Nozzle
Hotend design (proprietary/standard; quick-swap mechanism?)Not documentedKit-dependent: E3D Revo (Voron edition) in the LDO kit; TZ V6, Dragon standard-flow or Dragon high-flow in the Formbot kit[3][4]
Max nozzle temp claimed AND firmware max temp limit (both values)Not documented300 °C on the Formbot kit listing. The LDO kit's E3D Revo has its own limit, not stated on the listing[4]
Heated Bed & Surface
Max bed temp claimed AND firmware limitNot documented110 °C (Formbot kit listing)[4]
Bed surface (material, texture, coating), single/double-sidedLaser-engraved build plate[1]HoneyBadger dual-sided P-series plate in the LDO kit: smooth black PEI on one face, carbon fibre on the other, on a Kirigami mount with an edge-to-edge polyimide film heater[3]
Leveling & Z-Offset
Auto bed leveling: probe technology (inductive / strain gauge / load cell / touch probe)Levelling-free — no user levelling step[1][2]Not documented
Electronics & Power
Mainboard model & MCU (exact chip markings if teardowns exist)Not documentedKit-dependent. LDO kit: SKR Pico (LDO Edition) with a Raspberry Pi 4B as host[3]
PSU (brand, wattage, rail voltage)Not documented200 W (LDO kit) or 150 W (Formbot kit)[3][4]
Total rated power draw135 W power supply[1]Not documented
Firmware & Openness
Firmware base & current version (Klipper fork / Marlin fork / proprietary)Not documentedKlipper[3]
Connectivity, UI & Camera
Display: size, type, touch?4.3-inch touch control screen (control panel — not the masking LCD, see W1)[1]Not documented
WiFi (band/standard), Ethernet, USB ports, SD/flash-driveUSB and Wi-Fi[2]Not documented
Camera features: live monitor, timelapse, AI failure detection (spaghetti detection) — how real is it?Failed-print detection[2]Not documented
Calibration Routines & QoL
Assembly level & time from unbox to first printNot documentedSelf-assembly kit. Printed parts are not included in the LDO kit (sourced separately, e.g. through Voron's Print It Forward); the Formbot kit offers them as an option[3][4]
Materials Support
Officially supported filament listHigh-speed, water-washable, standard, ABS-like and plant-based resins (Anycubic's own list)[1]Not documented
Resin & MSLA
Masking LCD10.1-inch monochrome masking LCD at 14K, XY pixel pitch 16.8 x 24.8 um (manufacturer specification)[1][2]Not documented
Light sourceCOB light source with a Fresnel lens and a light-uniformity algorithm[1][2]Not documented
Light uniformity & intensityUniformity >=90% and intensity 4500 +/-10% uW/cm2 (both manufacturer claims, no independent measurement). Anycubic also states light intensity is uniform within an angle of <=3 degrees[1][2]Not documented
Vertical print speedmm/h150 mm/h with high-speed resin at 0.1 mm layer height; 90 mm/h with standard resin at the same layer height. Anycubic's headline maximum is 90 mm/h for standard resin, so the 150 figure is resin-dependent (manufacturer claims)[1][2]Not documented
Layer height range0.01-0.15 mm[1]Not documented
Release filmImproved ACF film. No rated life published for this model (the M7 Pro's ACF film is rated ~45,000 uses)[1][2][7]Not documented
Resin vat & feedingResin vat capacity up to 1 L, with resin level monitoring. No auto-refill on this model[1][2]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.
