Usage

The leveling card should be near the machine and contains basic build platform leveling instructions.

I was told that ChiTu Box is bad at supports, and to do them in PrusaSlicer (you'll need to find/use/make a resin printer profile) then export your unsliced but supported model as STL for slicing in ChiTu Box.

Below is the usage guide, but can basically be summarized as:

  • BE CAREFUL not to damage the 4k LCD screen or FEP plastic film!
  • level the build platform
  • turn on / heat up cabinet, close doors!
  • fill tank with resin choice/color/amount
  • software, do your supports/slicing
  • cabinet warmed up now?
  • insert stick, hit go, leave for a while, check in occasionally for obvious fails
  • the build platform won't fit in the Curing station (Anycubic Wash and Cure Machine) ID:160
  • so remove your prints without damaging the build platform and toss them into the basket, see video ^
  • pour unused resin back into bottle - the tank holding stand is good for this
  • clean out any remnants from the tank, being careful not to damage the FEP plastic film
  • CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF
  • Think you're done cleaning? THINK AGAIN!!
