Printing Options for Anycubic Photon Series 3D Printer

Resin is the most important material for LCD/SLA 3D printing, which can be used to directly produce 3D printed objects. It is a kind of material for printing objects in 3D printers, especially desktop 3D printers. #top

What's more, resin is the easiest way to start 3D printing, but you might get confused when it comes to resin 3d printer settings, don't worry, we are here to write the best resin settings for Anycubic resin 3d printer below.

NOTES:

1. If the printing conditions are below 68°F/20°C, it is recommended to increase the exposure time by 30% and decrease the lifting speed by 30%.

2. Data is sourced from Anycubic lab and is for reference only.

3. Different print settings and post-processing processes produce different results. If you have any problems while printing, feel free to contact our support team for support.

4. The following processing reference parameters are suitable for the Resin 3D printer's factory default energy state. If the energy of the light is changed, the reference processing parameters must be adjusted accordingly.

5. If you still cannot print at the default settings, please contact our customer service for professional advice.
