Anycubic Photon P1 Max vs Phrozen Sonic Mighty Revo 14K
Technical comparison · Resin 3D printing
Two resin printers that split on volume and fineness: the Photon P1 Max has a 285×214 mm bed, the Sonic Mighty Revo 14K a 223×126 mm one but with 16.8 µm of declared XY resolution against 24.8 µm. The Revo costs €895.

| Software notes | The system supports file formats generated by the most popular third-party print preparation software, such as ChiTuBox and LycheeSlicer, ensuring operational flexibility and a consolidated workflow. The manufacturer also provides Anycubic Photon Workshop, the proprietary application optimized to fine-tune exposure parameters, manage advanced supports, and fully exploit the screen's pixel density without slowing down layer calculation. | The printer is fully compatible with leading resin slicing software, including Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring flexibility in model preparation. A key advantage is its seamless integration with the Phrozen GO mobile app, which allows for 24/7 monitoring and remote management of the printing process. Firmware updates may be required to unlock certain advanced features, such as time-lapse photography in synergy with specific software versions of Chitubox. |
The differences that matter
- Volume: 285×214×300 mm against 223×126×235 mm → the P1 Max takes much wider parts, or more parts side by side.
- XY resolution: 24.8 µm against 16.8 µm → the smallest details are sharper on the Revo.
- Software: Photon Workshop plus ChiTuBox and Lychee against the Phrozen GO app plus ChiTuBox and Lychee → the Revo can be followed remotely from the phone.
Which one to choose
Choose Photon P1 Max if…
you print large parts or many parts at once: 285×214 mm on the bed and 300 mm in height, against the Revo's 223×126×235 mm. You give up some fineness (24.8 µm against a declared 16.8 µm). You prepare files with Photon Workshop, ChiTuBox or Lychee Slicer.
Choose Sonic Mighty Revo 14K if…
you print small details and want the finest pixel, a declared 16.8 µm, following the print remotely with the Phrozen GO app. The bed is small (223×126 mm), the machine weighs 18 kg and costs €895. Some features, such as time-lapse, may need firmware updates.
