Ecosystem
Cloud dependency No No
Software notes The software ecosystem is based on the proprietary Anycubic Photon Workshop application, alongside full compatibility with major third-party slicers such as ChituBox and Lychee Slicer. Connectivity is comprehensive due to the integrated Wi-Fi module, which enables remote management via the Anycubic App mobile application for real-time monitoring, file transfer, and progress tracking. The firmware supports advanced algorithms for exposure compensation and dynamic lift speed control. Although cloud features expand the user experience, the machine remains fully operational offline via file transfer through the USB port. The management of 3D models and print file preparation is supported by the main resin slicing software on the market, ensuring significant operational flexibility. Users can rely on widely used and appreciated solutions such as Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, which offer advanced tools for support generation and part orientation. Alternatively, the manufacturer provides the proprietary HALOT BOX software, specifically designed to integrate natively with the electronics and systems of this machine line. The motherboard is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling remote project submission and over-the-air firmware updates. Remote monitoring can be done via application, although the classic and stable file transfer via USB port remains fully supported.

The differences that matter

  • Price: €499 on the Photon Mono M7 Pro, €400 on the HALOT-ONE PLUS → the HALOT-ONE PLUS costs less to buy.
  • Build area: 223×126 mm vs 172×102 mm → the Photon Mono M7 Pro fits larger single parts or more parts on the same plate.
  • Declared XY resolution: 16.8 µm on the Photon Mono M7 Pro, 40 µm on the HALOT-ONE PLUS → the Photon Mono M7 Pro reproduces finer detail in the horizontal plane.
  • Vat film: ACF on the Photon Mono M7 Pro, standard FEP on the HALOT-ONE PLUS → different materials for the resin vat base.

Which one to choose

Choose Photon Mono M7 Pro if…

The Photon Mono M7 Pro has a larger build plate, for bigger single parts or more models on the same platform, and a finer declared XY resolution than the HALOT-ONE PLUS. The vat uses an ACF film instead of standard FEP. The trade-off is a higher starting price.

See the Photon Mono M7 Pro sheet →

Choose HALOT-ONE PLUS if…

The HALOT-ONE PLUS costs less to buy and is the choice for anyone printing miniatures or small parts without needing a larger plate. The vat uses a standard FEP film. The trade-off is a smaller build plate and a less fine declared XY resolution.
