Started with the OG Photon, and upgraded to the Mono X due to a sale at half off with the release of the Mono X 6K. The newer design sees a reduction in failure rate due to a change in build plate design, making it faster to align and give solid print consistency. The software has also been upgraded and is ALMOST on par with some of the custom firmware out there, almost. Right out the box, this baby in the hands of an entry-tier hobbyist in 3d Printing has got good results once you get past the initial setup issues (Like any printer).
Great printer - my only complaints are the included 80mm fans (trash - one failed within two weeks of ownership), and the customer support can be hit or miss.
It is a nice printer but should come with some general safety and usability guide. One big thing is you need to have a screen protector in case the FEP developed a hole and leaks material all over the screen. It took three months to get the screen replaced twice. I broke one trying to replace the screen. I finally took it to a repair facility to replace the screen.
