How to use the Anycubic Photon

  • The max fill line on the tank looks to be about where the chamfer in the tank is. Don't go above that, the resin might leak into the threads. If it's a long, thick print you can pause the print and add more resin once it's built up some height
  • The official slicer underestimated how long it would take to print by 30%. The unofficial file validator was pretty much bang-on
  • Cleanup is as time-consuming and frustrating as I expected. Fresh isopropyl, gloves, toilet paper or tissues are required every time.
  • It'd be great if we had two aluminium trays for the machine - one just the size of the machien to go under it for if/when the vat leaks to catch the resin and prevent it going everywhere, another for fresh prints to sit on when you're exposing them in either sunlight or the UV lamp
  • The metal scraper works much better than the included plastic scraper for removing parts from the build plate
