Why an additional resin vat is useful
An additional resin vat is especially useful for regular resin printing. Users can keep different resin types in separate vats, such as standard gray resin, clear resin, water washable resin, ABS Like Resin or Tough Resin. This reduces the amount of resin transfer, lowers the risk of material contamination and helps switch from one printing task to another faster.
When to replace the resin vat
- The vat has mechanical damage
- The frame or film mounting area is damaged
- The vat starts leaking after film installation
- Cracks or deformation appear on the body
- The old vat is heavily contaminated with resin residue
- The film becomes cloudy, scratched or loses working properties
- You need to switch resin colors or types faster
- You need a spare vat for regular printer operation
Important compatibility note
This resin vat is designed for Anycubic Photon Mono M5. It should not be confused with resin vats for Anycubic Photon Mono M5s, Photon Mono M5s Pro, Photon Mono M7, Photon M3, Photon M3 Plus, Photon M3 Max or other Photon series models without checking exact compatibility. Even if printer names look similar, vat geometry, mounting points and working area dimensions may be different.
Usage recommendations
- Make sure the vat is clean and dry before installation.
- Do not use the vat with damaged release film.
- Before every print, check the vat bottom for scratches, dents and foreign particles.
- Filter resin after every print before returning it to the bottle.
- Do not clean the film with sharp metal tools.
- Do not leave resin in the vat under direct sunlight.
- Clean the vat thoroughly before changing resin type or color.
- Replace the vat if leakage, cracks or deformation appear.
