More About Anycubic Photon Nex 3D Printer
Anycubic Photon Nex is a three-dimensional printer designed for desktop use. The printer includes an automatic leveling function, so the platform reaches a horizontal position without manual adjustment. The first printed layer therefore bonds well to the platform. A built-in ultra-quiet driver chip keeps the operating noise below 45 decibels, so printing in a bedroom does not disturb rest. One button opens the front cover, which slides upward without manual effort. The silver-gray body follows a simple form inspired by spaceship cabins and portholes.

- Unique Properties
- Anycubic Photon Nex breaks through the limitations of the existing leveling function, the innovative auto-leveling function of this product enables the platform to be placed in a horizontal position without manual leveling. Therefore, the first layer can be well glued to the printing platform, laying a good foundation for subsequent printing. Thanks to the built-in ultra-quiet driver chip, the noise is lower than 45dB to run and print at low decibel.
- Inspiration
- The design of this printer is inspired by Star Trek sleeping cabin. The overall shape follows the design concept of "less is more", and adopts the spaceship cabin and porthole. The body is silver-gray as a whole, with a fully automated feeding device design similar to an energy backpack, bringing an extraordinary future technology style and creating a future technology aesthetic that crosses the galaxy.
- Realization and Technology
- The whole machine uses one button to open the cover function. The user starts with one button, the front cover automatically slides upward to open the cover, the user does not need to manually open the cover. In the printing process, the noise is less than 45dB, even if it is printed in the bedroom, it will not affect the user's sleep and rest.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project took about 8 months from development to design.
