The official ANYCUBIC Amazon storefront is offering its Photon Mono M5s 12K Resin 3D Printer for $399.99 shipped. Recently fetching $600, and down from its original $780 MSRP from its release in early 2023, this 3D printer saw many short-lived discounts – the biggest of them dropping costs down to $430 during Black Friday sales. Today’s deal comes in as a repeat 33% markdown from the beginning of the new year and lands as a return to the all-time lowest price we have tracked. It also comes with options for extra savings that can take either 5% or 10% off additional items that are bundled along with the printer.

ELEGOO’s new Neptune 4 3D printer prints at 500mm/s and comes with Klipper for $259

From $259

It’s no surprise that ELEGOO is updating its 3D printing line with new models that have some pretty impressive features. Bambu Labs started what seems to be a revolution, with many manufacturers focusing on making their printers faster than ever before. Typically, we would see FDM printers run in the 100-150mm/s range, but to stay up with the competition, the new Neptune 4 and 4 Pro line from ELEGOO can reach a maximum speed of 500mm/s, which puts it in line with the latest printers from other manufacturers. The Neptune 4/Pro seems to have pretty solid offerings all around, including network printing, a 121-point auto leveling system, and Klipper are preinstalled and are quite intriguing for the price and specs. Plus, with the Saturn line now bringing 12K printers to affordable price points on the LCD side of things, today’s ELEGOO announcements are shaping up to be pretty impressive all around. Head below the fold for all we know about the latest ELEGOO 3D printers.
