Anycubic Photon training

This is a draft for training material for AnyCubic Photon

Risks and security precautions

Resin is mildly toxic and an allergen.

Use glasses, gloves and only touch things inside the cabinet as soon as you have started working.

Wash your hands after you have removed the gloves. only Use soap and water, never use IPA or acetone to wash your skin since it does remove most of the resin it helps the rest of it penetrating deeper.

Slicing your files

Slicers and slicer settings https://www.chitubox.com/

Support: Minimas, local minimas, edges

Avoid horizontal faces or edges.

Drainage: Air-holes and drain holes.

Hollowing: Reduces resin-use, makes curing quicker and reduces the number of supports needed

Under exposure: Print fails or loss of small details

Over exposure: print gets to thick, loss of small details

Common errors: To few supports

Preparering the machine

checking and refilling the resin

cleaning the glass

Cleaning the build plate

Finishing the printed object

Let it drip for a little while.

Run it in resin-away, first pre then final wash.

Let it sit in the UV-box for about 20 minutes

Cleaning the printer

Wipe the printer and the work-surfaces with IPA, throw the ragg away.

If something seems to have broken off: Filter the resin!
