This guide will cover the essentials of resin printing, highlight Anycubic’s top-performing printers, and provide valuable tips for improving your printing efficiency.
Introduction to Resin 3D Printing
Resin printing offers exceptional precision, making it suitable for applications such as miniatures, jewellery, dental models, and intricate prototypes. While it delivers impressive quality, mastering the correct setup, materials, and techniques is essential for successful results.
Essential Tools and Equipment for Resin Printing
To begin resin printing, you will require the following:
- Anycubic Resin Printer – Models such as the Photon Mono, Photon M5s, and Photon Mono M7 offer fast and precise prints.
- Photosensitive Resin – Anycubic provides various resin types tailored to different projects.
- Resin Vat – Ensures controlled resin distribution during printing; must be cleaned before each use.
- Build Plate – Serves as the surface for your printed model; ensure correct leveling for optimal results.
- Safety Gear – Gloves and goggles are essential when handling uncured resin to ensure safety.
Types of Resin for Anycubic Printers
Choosing the right resin is critical for achieving desired results. Anycubic and Protomont Filamont resins offer the following options:
- Standard UV Resin – Ideal for general-purpose printing with high precision; cures under UV light with a wavelength of 365-410 nm.
- High Clear Resin – Designed for crystal-clear prints with extended exposure times.
- UV Tough Resin – Provides enhanced flexibility and durability for stress-resistant models.
- Protomont Filamont Standard Resin – Great for general purposes, offering precision and detail.
- Protomont Filamont Flexible Resin – Provides the flexibility needed for stress-resistant applications.
- Protomont Filamont Clear Resin – Best for achieving high clarity in prints, suitable for detailed models and prototypes.
- Protomont Filamont Dental Resin – Ideal for dental applications requiring high precision and biocompatibility.
Printer Preparation for Successful Printing
Proper setup is essential for consistent and high-quality prints. Key steps include:
- Leveling the Build Plate: Correct leveling prevents print failures and ensures strong adhesion.
- Resin Vat Setup: Ensure the LCD screen is clean and debris-free before pouring resin.
- Safety Measures: Always wear gloves and goggles when handling uncured resin and work in a well-ventilated area for added protection.
The Resin Printing Process: Step-by-Step Guide
Achieving precise prints involves careful preparation and post-processing:
- Slicing the Model: Use software such as Lychee Slicer or Chitubox to prepare your 3D model.
- Printing Process: The Anycubic printer cures the resin layer by layer using UV light.
- Post-Processing: After printing, clean the model with isopropyl alcohol and cure it under UV light for improved strength and durability.
