In resin printing, thinner layer thicknesses produce finer details and smoother surfaces. Thinner layers allow for faster light penetration and curing, and require relatively shorter exposure times. Conversely, a larger layer thickness requires an appropriate increase in exposure time. The following is the exposure time corresponding to different layer thicknesses on Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks, which can be used as a reference for users to test and adjust according to the desired print quality.

How to Set Up Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks

Setup and calibration, are necessary steps to properly start using a resin printer. Leveling the build platform, setting the correct z-axis height, performing exposure, etc. Taking some time to complete the following steps can help users properly calibrate their Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks and avoid some possible printing problems.

Step 1: Connect the power and run the printer. Click: Tools --- Move Z axis --- 10mm, click 5 times, raise the z axis by 50mm.

Step 2: Install the build platform. Tear off the factory protective film and loosen the four screws on the platform. Install the build platform and tighten the knobs.

Step 3: Level the resin printer.  Place the leveling paper delivered with the machine on the screen and click "HOME". Press the top of the platform by hand and tighten the four screws.

Step 4: Set the zero point and perform exposure detection. In the printer settings, find the moving Z axis and click "Z=0" to set the zero position for the printer. After the printer stops lifting, select the exposure image, and perform exposure detection.

Step 5: Install the resin tank. Tighten the knobs on both sides of the resin tank to complete the installation.
