The Mono X2 is a refresh of the Photon Mono X, which impressed us back in 2021 for its size and resolution. The X2’s upgrades are subtle and if you already own a Mono X that works well, there’s no need to rush out to replace it. But if you’re in the market for a mid-size resin printer with good quality that doesn’t hog up your whole desk, the Mono X2 is a great pick.
Don’t let the 4K tag underwhelm you. The Mono X2 delivers crisp 48 microns of detail, which is smaller than a grain of salt. For comparison, the average layer height of a plastic extruding FDM printer is .2 mm or 200 microns.
