Any experience with the Anycubic Photon?

I'm debating biting the bullet and getting a 3D printer after finding a few stores that release new files for new sculpts every month on a subscription. Also the Anycubic Photon is on sale $169. Has anyone here used one before and if so, how was it? Would you recommend it?

One of my friends has it and according to him its pretty decent for the price. Cleaning and curing prints might be a bit of work so as long as you've done your research and understand what you're getting into, it shouldn't be too bad. From what I've heard it seems like a lot less trouble to maintain and calibrate compared to a FDM printer too. You probably want to have a well ventilated hobby room or something for it though.

Yeah, I think the plan is actually plug it in in my room, and snake it out onto the balcony lol.

That's an interesting idea. I don't think I've heard of people putting one outside before. The climate outside might effect the prints but that might work as long as you don't leave it outside all the time. You just need to empty and clean it before you bring it inside i guess? Might be worth looking into a bit more before you pull the trigger though.
