Very satisfied with the 3D prints.
I experimented with printing the same sliced file with my Anycubic Photon MonoX 4K, and my brand new Anycubic Photon M5s 12K.
It's printed with 50 microns layers on both, but on the M5s, the horizontal resolution is 3 times higher, and you can see the difference with the naked eye, there are no visible layers on the M5s, on the print of the Mono X 4K you can see with a magnifying glass layers on the cases and on the anvil. You can't see this in the photos.
The most remarkable detail is the size of the printed subject, you can see the difference with the naked eye, the Mono X 4K prints larger, which sometimes poses a problem for parts that fit together, you have to take this problem into account when drawing the parts before printing.
On the M5s, the parts come out visibly to the designed dimension, even better than on the Anycubic Ultra, which has a different technology.
The problem is not to get trapped (by habit) by drawing parts that are too thin at the printing limit. Like the handles of the seals which didn't print on the M5s (too thin) and printed fine on the Mono X because they were automatically of a larger diameter.
I've kept the two printing sessions, which makes my sailor a little bigger, a little more pasted and a little smaller, which isn't bad.
On the right, printed in 4K resolution, on the left in 12K. You can also see that the detail is much better in 12K, even if the iPhone's camera doesn't keep up...
