Anycubic Photon Mono X2 is a medium-sized desktop resin printer equipped with a 9.1-inch 4K LCD screen. It is very suitable as a maker tool or a home platform for realizing 3D printing works. In this guide, we'll provide information about it, an unboxing guide and setup process to help Photon Mono X2 users start their 3D printing journey. We will also provide detailed references and instructions for the printing parameters of different resins on Anycubic Photon Mono X2.
Overview of Anycubic Photon Mono X2
Anycubic Photon Mono X2 is equipped with a 4K+ LCD screen with the resolution of 4,096 x 2,560 pixels and the single pixel accuracy of 48μm. As a desktop-level resin printer, it not only restores complex model designs, but its dual linear guides configuration, coupled with POM clearance nut and a vibration-absorbing structure, can also effectively eliminate layer lines and ensure printing stability and accuracy. The printing size of the X2 is 200x196x122mm (HWD), its construction capability is better than ordinary entry-level resin printers. It can meet the batch operations of miniature models and greatly save time on 3D printing projects. For added convenience, the X2 comes with a screen protector, tool set, and offers free, self-developed slicing software, Anycubic Photon Workshop.
How to Set Up Anycubic Photon Mono X2
Before we discuss the Photon Mono X2’s custom settings, let's watch this comprehensive unboxing video. This video covers the unboxing and basic setup steps of the Anycubic Photon Mono X2 and helps you understand the use of components and tools.
Recommended Parameters For Anycubic Photon Mono X2
Exploring and setting the correct printing parameters is conducive to successfully completing the printing of the model and obtaining good results. In many cases of printing failure, the correction requires troubleshooting of parameter settings. Resin printer parameter setting is undoubtedly a critical step. First, master the correct printing parameters of Anycubic Photon Mono X2, and then adjusting and optimizing them for your own needs, you can ensure that your future creations will achieve the best possible results.
