3. Configuració

Follow these steps for initial setup of your Photon Mono X 3D printer:

1. Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge. Inspeccioneu-ho per si hi ha hagut danys durant el transport.
2. Col·locació: Place the printer on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight.
3. Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the power adapter to the printer and then to a power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.
4. Instal·lació de la placa de construcció: Install the build plate onto the Z-axis arm. Tighten the securing screw.
5. Instal·lació de dipòsits de resina: Col·loqueu el recipient de resina a la plataforma de la pantalla LCD. Assegureu-vos que estigui ben col·locat i fixat.
6. Leveling the Build Plate:
   • Loosen the four screws on the build plate.
   • Place a piece of A4 paper on the LCD screen.
   • Lower the build plate to the home position (Z=0) using the printer's control panel.
   • Gently press down on the build plate to ensure it is flat against the paper and LCD screen.
   • Tighten the four screws on the build plate.
   • Aixequeu lleugerament la placa de construcció i retireu el paper.
7. Resin Filling: Pour resin into the resin vat, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum fill line.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

The Photon Mono X offers fast printing speeds and convenient control options.

Procés d'impressió:

1. Preparació del model: Use the Anycubic Slicer software (or compatible slicer) to prepare your 3D model. This involves adding supports, orienting the model, and slicing it into layers.
2. Transferència File: Deseu el tallat file (.pwmo or compatible format) to a USB drive. Insert the USB drive into the printer.
3. Inicia la impressió: Navigate the printer's touchscreen menu to select your file and start the printing process.
4. Seguiment: Monitor the printing progress via the touchscreen or using the Anycubic APP remote control.
5. Postprocessament: Once printing is complete, carefully remove the build plate, detach the model, and clean it according to resin manufacturer instructions (typically with IPA and UV curing).

Anycubic APP Remote Control:

The Anycubic APP allows for convenient remote management of your printer. You can:

• Remotely manage print operations.
• Monitor print status in real-time.
• Adjust print parameters as needed.

5. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Photon Mono X.

• Neteja la tina de resina: After each print, carefully remove any cured resin particles from the bottom of the resin vat using a plastic scraper. If changing resin types, clean the vat thoroughly with IPA.
• Placa de construcció neta: Clean the build plate with IPA after removing prints. Ensure no resin residue remains.
• Neteja la pantalla LCD: If resin spills onto the LCD screen, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and IPA. Avoid scratching the screen.
• Check FEP Film: Regularly inspect the FEP film at the bottom of the resin vat for damage or cloudiness. Replace if necessary.
• Sistema de refrigeració: Ensure the cooling vents are clear of dust and debris to maintain efficient heat dissipation.
• Z-axis Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screw to ensure smooth movement.

6. Solució De Problemes

Aquesta secció tracta els problemes habituals que podeu trobar:

• Prints not sticking to build plate:
  • Ensure the build plate is properly leveled.
  • Increase bottom exposure time in slicer settings.
  • Check ambient temperature; resin prints best in warmer environments.
  • Roughen the build plate surface slightly with fine-grit sandpaper if it's too smooth.
• Failed prints / Partial prints:
  • Check for cured resin debris in the vat.
  • Verify exposure settings are correct for your specific resin.
  • Ensure adequate supports are added to the model.
  • Check the FEP film for damage or cloudiness.
• Layer shifting:
  • Ensure the Z-axis is stable and lubricated.
  • Check for any obstructions in the Z-axis movement.
  • Verify the build plate is securely tightened.
• Resin odor:
  • Ensure adequate ventilation in your printing area.
  • Consider using an air purifier or enclosure with exhaust.
