Getting Started
- Unpack the Printer: Carefully remove the printer and all accessories from the packaging.
- Setup: Place the printer on a stable, level surface and connect it to a power source using the provided cable.
- Leveling the Build Plate: Follow the 4-point leveling method for initial setup. Tighten the four screws after leveling. No need to repeat leveling unless necessary.
- Adding Resin: Pour the resin into the vat, being careful not to overfill it.
- Connecting to a Computer: Use the USB connector to link the printer to a compatible PC or laptop.
- File Preparation: Use a compatible slicer software to prepare your 3D model and save it onto the USB drive provided with the printer.
- Printing: Insert the USB drive into the printer, select the file via the touchscreen interface, and begin printing.
Maintenance & Care
- Clean the build plate and vat after each use to prevent resin buildup.
- Handle the Laser Engraving Platform with care to avoid scratches or damage.
- Replace the FEP film in the vat as needed to ensure consistent print quality.
- Keep the printer's exterior and LCD screen clean and free of dust.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Printer Not Recognizing USB Files: Ensure the files are saved in a compatible format and that the USB drive is properly inserted. Try using the sample files provided to test the USB port functionality.
- Model Adhesion Too Strong: Adjust the exposure settings in your slicing software and ensure the build plate is clean and level.
- Print Quality Issues: Experiment with different resin types and adjust the print settings accordingly. Ensure the vat and FEP film are clean and free of tears or punctures.
- Power Interruptions: The printer can resume printing after power is restored, reducing material waste and time. If issues persist, check the power supply and cables for any damage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What slicer software is compatible with the Photon Mono 4?
While there are limited free slicer options with presets for the Mono 4, you may need to make configurations outside the program. Please refer to the official ANYCUBIC website or user community for recommended software.
Can the FEP film be replaced separately from the vat?
No, the vat is designed to be replaced as a whole unit, and the FEP film cannot be replaced independently.
What materials can I print with the Photon Mono 4?
The printer is compatible with a variety of UV-sensitive resins. Check the resin manufacturer's recommendations for optimal results.
How do I prevent models from sticking too strongly to the build plate?
Ensure that the build plate is clean and properly leveled. Adjusting the print settings, such as reducing the base layer exposure time, may also help.
What should I do if I experience a power outage during printing?
The Photon Mono 4 has a feature to resume printing after a power failure. Simply turn the printer back on and it should continue where it left off.
How can I maintain the touchscreen?
Keep the touchscreen clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Is it necessary to level the build plate before every print?
After the initial leveling and tightening of the four screws, it is not necessary to repeat leveling unless you encounter adhesion issues or after maintenance that may affect the build plate's alignment.
