Choosing an industrial additive 3d printing setup usually comes down to two questions: how large do you need to print, and do you need multiple materials in a single run? The four machines here answer those questions very differently. One is a resin kit lot priced far below the others; another is a used large-format FDM system with the largest listed maximum print size in this group. In between, there is a large-volume FDM combo and a four-toolhead enclosed machine.
Quick Take
- The ANYCUBIC Photon P1 14K 3D Printer Industrial-grade Dual-Material Print Kit Lot is the lowest listed price in this group and brings resin printing.
- The ANYCUBIC Kobra 3 Max Combo EB Version Big 3D Printer 600mm/s Multicolor Print is a new FDM machine aimed at large prints, with Wi-Fi, AC Cloud, and LAN connectivity.
- The FLASHFORGE Creator 5 Pro Industrial 3D Printer 4-Toolheads Multi-Material Print is the dedicated multi-material option, with four independent toolheads.
- The Modix BIG 120X 3D Printer offers the largest listed maximum print size, but it is listed as used.
Listed Price Comparison
| Product | Listed price | Price bar |
|---|---|---|
| ANYCUBIC Photon P1 14K 3D Printer Industrial-grade Dual-Material Print Kit Lot | USD 49 | |
| ANYCUBIC Kobra 3 Max Combo EB Version Big 3D Printer 600mm/s Multicolor Print | USD 189 | |
| FLASHFORGE Creator 5 Pro Industrial 3D Printer 4-Toolheads Multi-Material Print | USD 999 | |
| Modix BIG 120X 3D Printer | USD 9,000 |
The listed price spread runs from USD 49 to USD 9,000. The used large-format printer sits at the top of that range, while the two ANYCUBIC machines and the Flashforge sit closer to the bottom.
Decision Matrix

Product Notes
ANYCUBIC Photon P1 14K 3D Printer Industrial-grade Dual-Material Print Kit Lot
The main draw here is the USD 49 listed price on an LCD resin printer with a 6.5L build volume. The listed features call out ±0.01mm Z repeatability and 60% lower peel force, both of which matter for consistency across many prints. The description also points to ball screws and linear rails as part of the rigid frame. What should give you pause is the workspace: a 6.5L resin vat is still a resin setup, so it will not approach the large FDM envelopes in this comparison. The title also describes it as a Dual-Material Print Kit Lot, which is worth noting when you plan the purchase.
ANYCUBIC Kobra 3 Max Combo EB Version Big 3D Printer 600mm/s Multicolor Print
This FDM combo carries a USD 189 listed price and a 420 x 420 x 500 mm build volume, so it is the least expensive FDM option here. The description mentions a 300°C all-metal hotend, dual-sided PEI spring steel plate, and G-sensor vibration compensation. Connection methods include Wi-Fi, AC Cloud, and LAN mode, and the features list includes resume print function, touchscreen, heated build plate, and LeviQ 3.0 auto leveling. The limitation is the DIY kit designation in the features list, which means assembly time and some tuning are part of the equation. If you are ready to assemble a machine, this could be the way to get a large print envelope without jumping into used industrial territory.
FLASHFORGE Creator 5 Pro Industrial 3D Printer 4-Toolheads Multi-Material Print
Priced at USD 999, this machine is for people who genuinely need more than one material in a single print job. The four independent toolheads are its signature feature, and the description says it supports multi-color and multi-material printing with automatic calibration and leveling. The enclosed frame adds active chamber heating up to 65°C, HEPA13 filtration with activated carbon, and a PEI flexible steel build plate. It also lists a maximum acceleration of 30,000 mm/s² and auxiliary cooling. The trade-off is that the USD 999 listed price sits above the two ANYCUBIC machines here, so the extra toolhead complexity only makes sense if you actually rotate through multiple filaments regularly.
Modix BIG 120X 3D Printer
At the top of the table is the Modix BIG 120X, listed at USD 9,000 and described as used. The maximum print size of 1200 x 600 x 640 mm is the biggest in this group, and the features list includes adjustable layer thickness, adjustable print speed, enclosed build plate, heated build plate, resume print function, and touchscreen controls. Connectivity covers Ethernet, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and Wi-Fi. The description references a water-cooled Dyze Design Typhoon extruder with 0.6mm and 1.6mm nozzles, while the attribute list also shows 0.4mm. The limitation is the combination of a high listed price and used condition: you are buying a large-format industrial machine without the new-unit status that the other three products share.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Choose the ANYCUBIC Photon P1 14K Kit Lot when resin detail matters more than build footprint and you want the lowest listed price in the group.
- Choose the ANYCUBIC Kobra 3 Max Combo when you want a large FDM print volume and are comfortable with a DIY kit.
- Choose the FLASHFORGE Creator 5 Pro when multi-material printing in one run is the core requirement.
- Choose the Modix BIG 120X when absolute build envelope is the top priority and you are willing to buy a large-format industrial machine at a much higher listed price.
