3D printer, resin (Anycubic Photon 5.5) ID:159: Difference between revisions

         }}

== Your First Print ==

# Turn on the power bar above the printer. Ensure the heated enclosure also turns on and is set to 25C-30C.

# Slice your file on the computer using the Chitubox program.  

## Go to "Settings" on the right side.

## Select the "Chitusystems Mono Upgrade" machine on the far-left.  

## Select the "... BASELINE ..." profile at the top.

## Duplicate the profile if you intend to make changes to it. Include your name and project name.

## Make changes to setting as desired. Large non-hollow objects may need more lowering time and curing time. Layer heights can be changed as well.

## Avoid creating suction-cup inclusions by using the Remove Hole button to remove holes along the build plate of the model. You can also redesign your model, or rotate your model to avoid this phenomenon.

## Add supports as required.

## Save to a USB stick.

# Clean the clear plate/resivoir that goes atop the LCD using IPA. Be careful not to puncture it with your paper towel (??).

# Install the clear plate on the printer and tighten the screws.

# Clean the build plate with IPA. Install it on the printer. Tighten the screw.

# Optionally level the build plate (TODO write instructions for this).

# Insert the USB stick into the right side of the printer.

# Use the screen to go to Print, and select your file. If you saved the file right, you should see a blue preview of your model.

# Start the print.

# Listen to ensure that 30 seconds after the print starts, you hear a popping noise as the print separates from the clear plastic sheet and stays attached to the blue build plate. Cancel the print if you don't hear the popping noise, probably.

# When the print is complete, you're all done. (just kidding, the messy resin part starts now)
