The default settings with 3mm/s or 180mm/min for 2nd lift speed caused multiple failed prints for me such as delimination, and I reduced it to 1.5mm/s or 90mm/min and increased transitioning layers from 4 to 10 – after that fine structures like those 40mm cube lattice prints came out quite well. The pieces were overexposed, the bottom layers were significantly overexposed, the clear resin as well the white resin which came as 2nd batch – the defaults as recommended by Anycubic and consequently by Lychee Slicer 5.1.8 were not as good as Photon Mono 4K. Mono X2 printing 40x Triply Periodic Minimal Surface 20mm cubes display shows current layer exposure after 1h45m the print was finished, using drip hook to tilt platform Printing 40x Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces 20mm cubes samples at once, and it took 1h45m (with default settings) with apprx.
Lychee Slicer, positioning 40x cubes, left column requires support, all others directly on the bed Lychee Slicer slicing 40x cubes The native Photon Workshop slicer coming with the printer has no Linux support and only works via Wine “Windows” emulator, and is barely usable. pmx2 (Note: as of 2023/03 the output format is not working properly). sl1, and so requires a custom setting to add support for it indirectly then requires a tool like UVtools to convert to. Lychee Slicer 5.x and upward also supports the Mono X2 out of the box, whereas Prusa Slicer SLA slicer, as of 2.x series, does not slice to any but. The main reason I prefered the Photon Mono X2 (EUR 350) over the Creality LD-006 (EUR 250) with the nearly same build-volume is that the LD-006 has a bad build-plate mount where resin is trapped near the screws – which makes cleaning and switching resins much harder: Anycubic Photon Mono X2 build plate: all resins flows away from the build plate, good design Creality LD-006 build plate: mounting screws trap resin, bad design Creality LD-006 build plate: mounting screws trap resin, bad designĮventually either cured, dried or semi liquid resin trapped in there will contaminate your next prints – so a bad build plate design can ruin your prints eventually.

#Formlabs preform vase mode update#
Update 2023/07: The Mono X2 already discontinued as M5 and M5S has been released. The Mono X2 is relatively new as of writing this blog-post, just released in late 2022, so the third party market has not yet taken off regarding spare vats, spring steel magnetic build plate, protective films and alike. The print area Mono 4K doubles nearly with Mono X2, and the Mono M3 Max (EUR 1000) additionally doubles the print area:Īs pointed out previously, the print area with MSLA directly affects the print speed, the larger the build plate, the faster the print: more parts can be printed at the same time.

The slowed down the overall print time, but reliability is getting near to Mono 4K. in Lychee Slicer the 2nd lift distance is the sum of Rising Height 4.0mm + Rising Height 4mm = “4.0mm > 8.0mm”:Īfter some prints I realized the 3mm/s or 180mm/min 2nd rising speed really decreased the reliability of prints I did, usually after bottom layers some models, especially fine structures, deliminated and I realized the transitioning needed to be longer and also reduce the 2nd rising speed, the retraction speed could stay as is.I ordered at directly (EUR 350) 4, and got it a week later.
