12K MSLA printer with an LED-matrix light source, dual linear Z rails and levelling-free setup.
218 x 123 x 200 mm (Anycubic quotes 5.4 L; the table writes it as 200 x 218 x 123 mm in H x W x D order)
Advertised dimensions; check usable space and variants.
10.1-inch monochrome masking LCD at 12K, 11,520 x 5,120 px, 480:1 contrast, XY pixel pitch 19 x 24 um (manufacturer specification)
Published resin-display specification.

The creator divides this M5s vat lid into left/right sections, a center connection and handle so it can be printed on a smaller FDM bed. It covers the removed vat during storage; it does not replace the printer’s UV enclosure.
Applies to: Photon Mono M5/M5s vat geometry explicitly named. Check fit before putting a printed cover over liquid resin.

The M5s guide explains that the printer hotspot initially has no internet access, which can cause the phone to switch networks. Check the selected hotspot and disable automatic network switching during binding before investigating the router connection.
Applies to: Photon Mono M5s series and the Anycubic app binding workflow; hotspot association and internet Wi-Fi connection are separate stages.

This guide presents the catalog’s sourced record for this exact model. Source dates belong to each reference; a page update does not mean every specification has been rechecked.
Prices are dated listing snapshots, with configuration, regional and sale conditions. They are not current offers. Unknown values remain unfilled.
Firmware, variants and available accessories can change. Read the original reference before making a purchase or planning a process.
Firmware, modifications and troubleshooting links are checked against the model and stated hardware or firmware revision. A creator’s compatibility claim is not a fit test by this site. Official troubleshooting describes a diagnostic route; individual reports do not establish a failure rate.
This review did not verify firmware customization or update guidance, hardware upgrades for this exact model. That is a research gap, not a claim that none exist.
