For one of the best 3D printer deals, head straight to Amazon. As one of its limited time deals, you can buy the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer for $300 reduced from $480. It’s nice to see a 38% discount on a printer from a reputable brand. As it’s a limited time deal, you’ll need to be quick to avoid missing out. Here’s everything you need to know before you buy.

Why you should buy the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer

Sure to appeal to anyone looking for one of the best 3D printers under $500, the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer is a great bet for anyone checking out 3D printing. It’s the first consumer grade resin 3D printer without levelling. While printing, a mechanical sensor on its cantilever arm detects the alignment between the printing platform and the floating levelling module before automatically adjusting as needed.

It has an HD resolution of 11520 x 5120 and a high contrast ratio of 480:1, so you get an XY accuracy of 19 x 24 micro, leading to highly precise results. Combined with Anycubic high-speed resin, the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer is able to reach an average speed of 105mm an hour. Alongside those core figures, the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer also has a 10.1-inch 12K LCD screen. You can check the exposure screen, mechanical detection module, motor operation status, and resin allowance before printing. There’s also an Intelligent Mode which matches exposure parameters based on model details and size, with the new support algorithm enhancing the printing stability and success rate.

With so many convenient features, the Anycubic 12K Resin Photon Mono M5s 3D printer is sure to be one of the best 3D printers for many scenarios. It usually costs $480, but as one of Amazon’s limited time deals it’s down to $300 for a brief time right now. The 38% saving of $180 won’t be around for long, so take a look at it quickly before you miss out.

OpenAI showing a ‘very dangerous mentality’ regarding safety, expert warns
ChatGPT and OpenAI logos.

An AI expert has accused OpenAI of rewriting its history and being overly dismissive of safety concerns.

Former OpenAI policy researcher Miles Brundage criticized the company's recent safety and alignment document published this week. The document describes OpenAI as striving for artificial general intelligence (AGI) in many small steps, rather than making "one giant leap," saying that the process of iterative deployment will allow it to catch safety issues and examine the potential for misuse of AI at each stage.

M3 Ultra vs. M4 Max: Which is better? Benchmarks can’t tell either
2025 Mac Studio

Apple surprised us with its announcement of the new Mac Studio this week, and confused us with its chip choices -- the M4 Max and the M3 Ultra. It's hard enough to tell which chip is more powerful just from their names, but according to early benchmarks, it's also hard to tell from their CPU performance.

AMD’s RX 9070 XT could soon cost a lot more than it does now
An Asus RX 9070 XT TUF GPU.

After the way Nvidia's RTX 50-series ended up being called a "paper launch," many breathed a sigh of relief when AMD's RX 9000 series appeared on the shelves in much larger quantities. However, once this initial shipment is sold, AMD could face the same problem as the rest of the best graphics cards: Price hikes, price hikes everywhere.

The cards officially hit the shelves yesterday, and many were spotted far above the recommended list price (MSRP), with some overclocked models priced at up to $250 more than the $600 starting price. However, AMD spoke several times about working with its partners to ensure wide availability at MSRP, and indeed, many retailers had some models up for sale. Those MSRP cards were only around for a short time, though, and they might never come back, according to retailers.
