Anycubic Photon (2018) vs FlashForge Creator Pro (2017)
Anycubic LCD Photon (2018)

The Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) is a great Home 3D Printer for its $249 asking price.
The FlashForge Creator Pro (2017), however, is merely passable at its $699 price point. If you're considering buying a Home 3D Printer in the $680 range, you might want to check out some of its competitors.
The Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) has done really well in a number of roundups conducted by sources that perform their own hands-on testing, such as Windows Central, Expert Reviews, CNET, and Digital Camera World - it was awarded the "Best Value Resin" title by Windows Central, "Best resin printer" by Expert Reviews, and "Best inexpensive resin 3D printer" by CNET. That's high praise from reliable sources.
Taking a look at the FlashForge Creator Pro (2017), it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - TechGearLab and Wirecutter (NYTimes) - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.
When we thoroughly analyzed their review scores, we learned that all of the sources that tested both Home 3D Printers, including TechGearLab, preferred the Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) over the FlashForge Creator Pro (2017).
We also took a look at which sources they managed to impress the most. The Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) was liked best by GBAtemp, which gave it a score of 10, while the FlashForge Creator Pro (2017) got its highest, 8, score from TechGearLab.
Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Home 3D Printers on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Home 3D Printers being 7.3 out of 10, whereas the Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) and FlashForge Creator Pro (2017) managed averages of 9.0 and 8.0 points, respectively.
Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Anycubic LCD Photon (2018) vs. FlashForge Creator Pro (2017) comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
