Slicing Software for Anycubic Photon M3 Max
Anycubic Photon M3 Max users can use free self-developed software for slicing. Anycubic Photon Workshop is a 3D slicing software specially designed for resin 3D printing. It has a user-friendly interface, upgraded features, and can convert stl/obj/xxx files into files that can be read by Anycubic Photon printers. For Anycubic Photon M3 Max, please save the file format as .pm3m after slicing using Photon Workshop. This ensures that the slice file format matches the model.
Of course, there are many 3D printing enthusiasts who prefer to use third-party slicing software such as Lychee and ChituBox, the flexibility of the M3 Max can meet these preferences. Refer to the Anycubic Photon M3 Max resin settings and recommended printing parameters in the table below. You can consider the balance between parameters, adjust the layer thickness, find the appropriate exposure time, etc. according to your own specific needs and the characteristics of the printed model.
Resin Settings and Recommended Parameters of Anycubic Photon M3 Max
M3 Max supports printing with most resins on the market, so you don’t need to worry about compatibility issues. Understanding the common parameters of resin 3D printing, such as layer thickness, exposure time, bottom layer exposure, lift and retraction speed, can help ensure proper adhesion of the 3D print on the build platform, optimize print quality and improve success rate. Photon M3 Max resin settings in the following table include printing parameters for various Anycubic resins, so whether you prefer high clear resin or ABS-like resins, you'll find suggestions for printing parameter settings.
