Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max vs Elegoo Jupiter 2
Technical comparison · Resin 3D printing
Two large-format resin printers with practically the same build plate, about 300×162 mm, and the same ACF release film. The decision comes down to whether finer detail is worth 250 € more: the Jupiter 2 states 26 µm pixels, the Photon Mono M7 Max 46 µm.

| Software notes | Workflow control is managed by Anycubic Photon Workshop, a proprietary software optimized for advanced exposure parameters and support management. The machine also ensures complete operational flexibility through compatibility with leading third-party slicing programs, such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi modules and USB ports for flexible file transfer, supporting remote project uploads via the dedicated mobile application for constant progress monitoring. | The system natively supports files generated by the most widespread industrial and commercial slicing applications, such as ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. Built-in networking features allow for remote monitoring and file transfers via integrated Wi-Fi or a dedicated Ethernet interface, simplifying deployment within connected digital manufacturing pipelines. Firmware updates are regularly released by the manufacturer via downloadable files for USB installation, ensuring continuous optimization of curing algorithms and broad compatibility with newly developed photosensitive polymer resins. |

The differences that matter
- XY resolution: 26 µm vs 46 µm → curved surfaces and small details show less pixel grain on the Jupiter 2.
- Price: 649 € vs 899 € → the extra 250 € on the Jupiter 2 pays for resolution, not for build area, which is nearly the same.
- Weight: 23.3 kg vs 40 kg → the surface under the Jupiter 2 has to carry almost twice as much.
Which one to choose
Choose Photon Mono M7 Max if…
you print big models or several parts per run and detail on small features is secondary. The same plate costs 250 € less, and the machine weighs 23.3 kg against 40 kg. The trade-off is grain: with 46 µm pixels, miniatures and small details show more of the pixel structure.
Choose Jupiter 2 if…
you print figures and prototypes with fine detail across the whole plate, where 26 µm makes a visible difference. You accept 250 € more, 40 kg and a 49.8×35.8×75 cm footprint to fit in the workshop; in exchange it also has an Ethernet port next to Wi-Fi.
