4. Bidhaa Imeishaview

The ANYCUBIC Photon Mono X2 is a high-precision resin 3D printer featuring a 9.1-inch 4K+ monochrome LCD screen. It utilizes an upgraded LighTurbo matrix light source for uniform UV exposure, resulting in detailed prints. The printer also includes dual linear guides for enhanced stability and a laser-engraved build plate for improved adhesion.

Sifa Muhimu:

• 9.1'' 4K+ Mono LCD Screen: Offers a resolution of 4096 x 2560 pixels, providing high detail with a single pixel size of 48µm.
• Upgraded LighTurbo Matrix Light Source: Projects UV light both parallel and perpendicular to the LCD screen for uniform exposure and improved print quality.
• Stable Printing Structure: Dual linear guides on the Z-axis reduce layer shifting, and a POM clearance nut with vibration absorption ensures accuracy and smooth model appearance.
• Bamba la Kujenga Lililochongwa kwa Laser: Features a textured checkerboard pattern for significantly improved adhesion and print success rate, facilitating easier model removal.
• Anti-Scratch Film: Protects the LCD screen from resin leakage and potential damage.

5. Kuweka

5.1 Kufungua na Kuweka

1. Ondoa kwa uangalifu printa na vifaa vyote kutoka kwenye kifungashio.
2. Place the printer on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
3. Remove any protective films or packaging materials from the printer components.

5.2 Build Plate Leveling

Accurate leveling of the build plate is crucial for successful prints.

1. Ensure the resin vat is empty and clean.
2. Loosen the four screws on the build plate.
3. Place a leveling paper (or a standard A4 paper) on the LCD screen.
4. Lower the build plate until it firmly presses against the leveling paper.
5. Gently press down on the build plate to ensure it is flat against the screen, then tighten the four screws.
6. Raise the build plate slightly and remove the leveling paper.
7. Perform a Z-axis calibration if prompted by the printer's interface.

5.3 Installing the Resin Vat and Anti-Scratch Film

1. Carefully place the clean resin vat onto the printer's platform, ensuring it is securely seated.
2. If not pre-installed, apply the anti-scratch film to the LCD screen according to the instructions provided with the film. This protects the screen from resin spills.

6. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji

6.1 Preparing Your 3D Model (Slicing)

The Photon Mono X2 is compatible with various slicing software, including Anycubic Photon Workshop, CHITUBOX, and Lychee. Ensure you use the correct printer profile for the Photon Mono X2.

1. Import your 3D model (e.g., .STL, .OBJ) into your chosen slicing software.
2. Orient and position the model on the virtual build plate.
3. Add supports as necessary to prevent print failures.
4. Set print parameters (layer height, exposure time, bottom layer count, etc.) according to your resin type and desired print quality. Refer to your resin manufacturer's recommendations.
5. Slice the model and save the output file (typically .pmx2 format) to a USB drive.

6.2 Starting a Print

1. Ensure the build plate is clean and securely attached.
2. Pour resin into the resin vat, ensuring it does not exceed the maximum fill line.
3. Insert the USB drive containing your sliced file kwenye mlango wa USB wa kichapishi.
4. Place the UV-protective cover over the printer.
5. On the printer's touchscreen, navigate to the "Print" menu, select your file, and confirm to start printing.
6. Monitor the initial layers to ensure proper adhesion to the build plate.

6.3 Post-Processing

1. Once printing is complete, carefully remove the build plate from the printer.
2. Using the provided scraper, carefully detach the printed model from the build plate.
3. Wash the model in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a suitable resin cleaner to remove uncured resin.
4. Cure the model under UV light (e.g., in a curing station or direct sunlight) until fully hardened.
5. Remove supports and perform any necessary finishing work.

7. Matengenezo

7.1 Cleaning the Resin Vat

• After each print, filter any remaining resin back into its bottle using a mesh filter.
• Clean the resin vat with IPA and a soft cloth. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the FEP film.
• Inspect the FEP film for damage or cloudiness. Replace if necessary.

7.2 Kusafisha Bamba la Kujenga

• Clean the build plate with IPA after each print to remove any resin residue.
• Ensure the build plate is completely dry before starting a new print.
