- Slide the switches on the ring to the "Lock" position to secure the vats.
3. Funcionament
3.1 Dual-Color/-Material Printing
The ANYCUBIC Photon P1 allows simultaneous printing with two different materials and colors. This feature is ideal for complex designs and can reduce resin consumption for smaller models, optimizing the use of high-priced resins.

3.2 Resin Compatibility and Handling
The Photon P1 is compatible with ultra-high viscosity resins, up to 8,000 cps, which is 40 times the viscosity of standard resins. This broad compatibility supports professional applications. Pre-configured settings for Anycubic resins are available for immediate use without manual calibration.

3.3 Tall i impressió
Use the provided slicing software (e.g., Photon Workshop 4.0) to prepare your 3D models for printing. When using dual mode, import your models and set the parameters. If both L and R areas use the same-named parameter group of the same resin, the parameters will be identical. For different parameters, choose a parameter group from a different resin or create a custom parameter group with different resin names. Layer thickness and anti-aliasing parameters must be the same for both areas.

3.4 AI Monitoring and Reliability
The AI-powered inspection system performs dual verification of build plate installation and bottom layer separation. It also monitors resin levels and detects residue in the vat, identifying potential issues early to ensure reliable printing. Note: AI detection is disabled by default. Enabling this feature may trigger video recording warnings.

4. Manteniment
4.1 Wave Release Technology
The Wave Release Technology generates micro-airflow during plate lifting, reducing release force by 60%. This facilitates easier model detachment and lowers failure rates, contributing to reliable long-term printing. Regularly inspect the release film for wear and tear.

4.2 Resin Vat and Build Plate Care
After each print, carefully clean the resin vat and build plate. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and appropriate cleaning solutions for resin. Ensure no cured resin particles remain in the vat or on the build plate, as this can affect future prints. The quick-release design for the build plate and resin vat simplifies cleaning and maintenance.

4.3 Resin Drip Hanger and Pouring Spout
Utilize the resin drip hanger to reduce resin waste after printing. The improved pouring spout facilitates effortless resin recycling back into its container.

5. Solució De Problemes
5.1 Problemes d'impressió habituals
- Failed Prints: Check leveling, exposure settings, and resin quality. Ensure the build plate is clean and properly installed.
- Layer Separation: Verify the Wave Release Technology is functioning correctly and the release film is not damaged. Adjust lift speed if necessary.
- Poor Detail: Ensure the 14K LightTurbo 4.0 light source is clean and functioning optimally. Check XY pixel resolution settings in your slicing software.
5.2 AI Monitoring for Diagnostics
Utilize the AI monitoring system to diagnose issues related to build plate installation, bottom layer separation, resin level, and vat residue. The system provides real-time feedback to help identify and resolve problems quickly.
