    How to Set Up Anycubic Photon Mono M5: Step By Step

    Properly setting up your resin printer is a key step to successful printing. It can greatly enhance the user's printing experience and improve the print quality.

    Step 1: Connect the power and turn on the printer. Through the menu setting, raise the Z axis to 100mm.
    Step 2: Install the screen protector. Peel off the factory screen protector, clean the exposure screen with the included tool kit, then apply the protector to the screen.
    Step 3: Install the print platform. Loosen the four screws on the platform, install the build platform, and tighten the knobs.
    Step 4: Level the printer and set the zero position. Leveling according to the following operations, set the zero position in the printer settings, tool "move z-axis".
    Step 5: Exposure test. In the printer settings, tools "move the z-axis" to select the exposure image, and perform exposure detection.
    Step 6: Install the resin tank. Tighten the knobs on both sides to complete the installation.
