⚖️ Expert Verdict
Comparing the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s to the Bambu Lab P1P is an 'apples vs. oranges' scenario in 3D printing. The Anycubic is a resin (SLA) printer with a 12K resolution screen, capable of producing near-injection-molded quality for miniatures and jewelry. The Bambu Lab P1P is a high-speed FDM printer optimized for functional parts and larger prototypes. If your priority is extreme detail and smooth surfaces, the Anycubic is unbeatable. However, for 90% of household and functional uses, the P1P is far more practical, avoiding the messy post-processing (washing and curing) required by resin. The P1P is the winner for general-purpose versatility, but the M5s remains the champion for high-detail artistic work.
