AnyCubic waxay^(AnyCubic) dhawaan noo soo dirtay daabacaadahooda quruxda badan ee Photon Mono X 3D iyo xarunta Wash and Cure^{(Wash and Cure station)} si ay isugu dayaan. Tani waxay ahayd markii ugu horeysay, ahem, soo-gaadhista ^{(exposure )}daabacaadda 3D ee^{(3D printing)} leh xabagta, in kasta oo aan * khibrad badan u leenahay daabacadaha fiilo/FDM 3D. Hubi^(AnyCubic) , dib u eegistani waa mid madax banaan oo lalama wadaagin AnyCubic^(Rest) ka hor intaan la daabicin. 

Waxaan ku qaadanay dhowr toddobaad isticmaalka AnyCubic's Photon Mono X , iyo, guud ahaan, waxaan ogaanay inay tahay wax soo saar aad u fiican oo leh dhowr hoos-u-dhacyo xusid mudan, oo inta badan la xiriira caqabadaha ku jira daabacaadda resin-ka oo aan ahayn daabacaha laftiisa.

Kor-u-qaadka: Printer-kani waa mid Cajiib ah

Way weyn tahay. Way qurux badan tahay. Waa daabacaha MSLA . Taasi micneheedu waa maxay? MSLA waxay u taagan tahay stereolithography-ga daboolan. Sida aan ku xusnay maqaalkeena ku saabsan sida daabacaadda 3D u shaqeyso^{(how 3D printing works)} , " Madbacadaha MSLA^(MSLA) waxay isticmaalaan lasers si ay u daaweeyaan resin dareere ah walxo caag ah oo adag. Caadiyan, shayga waxa laga soo saaraa tamar resin ah, oo lakab ahaan loo samaynayo marka uu ka soo kaco walxaha. 

Si kale haddii loo dhigo, waa sixir.

Digniin: Waxaad haysataa Waxbarasho^(Got) ( iyo^(Learning) Nadiifin )^(Cleaning) inaad Samayso

Waxay qaadan doontaa wakhti si aad u gaadho meesha aad aqoonta u leedahay Photon Mono X ama daabace kasta oo resin ah. Markaad ogaato waxaad samaynayso, isticmaalka daabacahaan waa mid toos ah, laakiin helitaanka halkaas waxay noqon kartaa niyad jab. 

Khubaradu waxa ay noo xaqiijiyeen in waayo-aragnimadani ay tahay mid caalami ah. Waa hab dhaqan, oo la mid ah in lakabka koowaad uu si toos ah ugu soo baxo daabacaha FDM . Farqiga kaliya ayaa ah in haddii lakabka koowaad uu ku guuldareysto inuu u hoggaansamo saxanka dhisa ee daabacaha resin, waxaa ku lug leh nadiifin badan oo qallafsan. 

Taasi waa sababta oo ah mar kasta oo daabacadu ku guuldareysato daabacaha resin, waa inaad nadiifisaa wax kasta^(everything) . Maadaama resinku yahay walxo sun ah, taasi waxay la macno tahay inaad mari doonto galoofyo badan, waji-xidho, tuwaalo waraaqo ah, Windex , iyo aalkolo. (Fiiro gaar ah: Waxaan isticmaalnay Everclear maadaama ay ka jaban tahay isopropyl, in kasta oo aanan hubin in khasnajiga dukaanka khamriga uu na rumaystay.) Si kastaba ha ahaatee, markaad horumarinayso, waxaa sii yaraanaya nadiifinta ku lug leh.

Resin vs. ^(Resin)Filament^(Difference) : waa maxay faraqa u dhexeeya ?

Daabacaha resin-ku wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ku daabacdo walxo leh tafaasiil aad u fiican. Haddii aad ka imanayso aduunka fiilo^{(filament world)} , qaraarku wuu ku yaabi doonaa. Si kasta oo aad u malaynayso inay ahaan doonto, way fiicnaan doontaa. 

Dhis Mugga & Xawaaraha Daabacaadda

Photon Mono X waxa uu leeyahay mug dhisme ka weyn inta badan daabacadaha kale ee heerka macaamiisha MSLA ee suuqa maanta. Intaa waxaa dheer, wakhtiga daabacaadda ayaa gebi ahaanba ku xiran wakhtiga soo-gaadhista iyo tirada lakabyada, maaha^(not) inta walxaha lagu daaweeyay lakabkiiba. 

Waxaad ku xajin kartaa inta aad rabto saxanka dhismaha, mana saamayn doonto wakhtiga daabacaada. 

Tayada Alaabta & Badbaadada

Xadiidka Z-axis^(Z-axis) ee Photon Mono X^{(Photon Mono X)} maaha wax kaftan ah. Way ka sarreeyaan biraha toosan ee daabacadaha aan aragnay. Xarigga toosan ayaa daabacaada ka ilaaliya in uu lulo inta aad daabacaneyso, mana jirto ciyaar la dareemi karo oo ku saabsan Photon Mono X. ^{(Photon Mono X)}Kaashashka Z waa mid aad u buuran oo aan la arki karin. 

Intaa waxaa dheer, shaashadda taabashada waa mid jawaab celin ah oo sahlan in la akhriyo, iyo menu-yada waa kuwo dareen leh. Muuqaalka guud waa nadiif oo quruxsan.

Astaamaha badbaadada ikhtiyaariga ah ayaa aad uga filan si ay indhahaaga uga ilaaliyaan iftiinka UV ugana ilaaliyaan resinka iftiinka qorraxda. Dhab ahaantii, waxaan kaga tagnay xabagta daabacaha muddo saddex maalmood ah oo u dhow daaqad, midna xabagta oo ka bogsatay iftiinka qorraxda ma jiro. 

Dhaqida & Daawaynta Daabacaada

Meesha lagu dhaqo iyo rugta daawaynta ee AnyCubic waxay si fiican u dhammaystiraysaa daabacaha resinka. Waxay u muuqdaan kuwo aad u fiican. Meesha wax lagu dhaqo waxay leedahay kiciya birlabeed ku dhex dhisan oo kicisa xalka nadiifinta, kaasoo kuu ogolaanaya inaad ku nadiifiso daabacaada wax ka yar shan daqiiqo. Waxay ku dhowdahay dadaal la'aan. 

Daabacaadda ka dib, waxaad ka saari kartaa daabacaadda sariirta ama waxaad gelin kartaa sariirta lafteeda goobta dhaqidda, taas oo yareyneysa qaar ka mid ah baahida nadaafadda ee aan kor ku soo sheegnay. 

Fiiro gaar^(Note) ah: Waxaad u baahan tahay dareere^(LOT) badan oo nadiifin ah, haddii ay taasi tahay aalkolo ama xalka nadiifinta ee aad dooratay. Xalka nadiifinta wuxuu gelayaa weel weyn oo balaastiig ah oo dusha sare leh. 

Si aad u dhaqdo, waxaad dejisay saacada dhaqida, ku dhufo Go, oo waad dhammaatay. Ka taxaddar inaad wax ka qabato daabacaadda aan la daawayn. Waxay noqon doontaa mid jilicsan oo aan si buuxda loo daweyn, markaa way sahlan tahay in la hagaajiyo daabacaadda haddii aadan ka taxaddarin.

Si aad u daaweyso daabacaadda, waxaad dul saartaa carousel oo la socota rugta dhaqista^(Wash) iyo daawaynta^(Cure) . Ikhtiyaar ahaan, waxaad hagaajin kartaa xagasha LED^(LEDs) -yada ugu sarreeya si aad iftiinka ugu toosiso daabacaadda. 

Way fududahay in la daweeyo sida ay u tahay in la dhaqo. Deji^(Set) saacada, taabo badhanka Start , dhowr daqiiqo ka dib, daabacaada waa bogsanaysaa. Ku raaxayso cajiibka leh, dhaldhalaalka naxdinta leh ee daabacaadda sida ay u bogsanayso.

Workshop sawir qaade AnyCubic

Software-ka wax lagu jarjaro ee AnyCubic uma dareemo inuu u dhalaalayay sida Cura ama Slic3r , laakiin waxay leedahay hawlo badan oo xiiso leh oo, run ahaantii, si buuxda uma aynaan baadhin. Waxaad ku dari kartaa gacan-gacmeed ama toos ah taageerooyin, jeexjeexyo, iyo godad-biyoodka. 

PhotonWorkshop waa wax yar oo adag in la dhex maro oo la barto sida saxda ah ee taageerada loo dhigo waxay qaadataa xoogaa tijaabo iyo khalad ah. Haddii aadan si ku filan u taageerin daabacaada, way dhici doontaa, ka dibna waa inaad nadiifisaa makiinada resin ka ka hor isku dayga xiga, markaa waa muhiim inaad barato sida taageerooyinka u shaqeeyaan. 

U wareejinta faylasha Mono X waa deg deg. U soo rar faylka ^{(a file)}USB drive, oo ku dheji daabacaha. Bam . Marka ay daabacdo, waxaad arki doontaa sawirro muraayadda LCD^(LCD) ee lakab kasta marka la soo bandhigayo. Aad ayey u xiiso badan tahay daawashada Iyo, AnyCubic waxay leedahay app talefoon oo aad isticmaali karto si aad ula socoto daabacaadaada oo aad ka bilowdo meel fog. 

Ilaalinta Photon Mono X

Xagga dayactirka, waxaanu rajaynaynaa in maraqa resin vat's shubay maraqa si fiican loo qaabeeyey. Resin si nadiif ah uma shubo, taasoo ka dhigaysa nadiifinta mid adag. Waxaa intaa dheer, marka la daabacayo, resinku wuxuu daboolayaa dusha sare ee saxanka dhismaha, ma aha oo kaliya qaybta hoose, markaa marka ay tahay wakhtiga nadiifinta, waa inaad nadiifisaa qashinka labada dhinacba. Taasi waa nasiib darro, laakiin ma hubno sida looga badbaadi karo. 

Cabasho kale: way adagtahay in meesha laga saaro saxanka wax lagu dhisayo iyada oo aan lagu daadin resin mashiinka. Waa in aad qoob-ka-cayaar samaysaa marka aad ka saarayso saxanka la dhisayo. Way adagtahay in lagu dul hayo maaskada si uusan xabagta meel walba uga tifqin. Marka aad si joogto ah u hesho daabacado wanaagsan, tani ma ahaan doonto arrin aad u badan.

Mar marka qaarkood waa inaad dib ugu shubtaa resinka weelka uu soo galay, waana inaad ka nadiifisaa saxanka la dhisay. Habkaasi maaha mid ku habboon sida uu noqon karo. Fikrad ahaan^(Ideally) , kaliya waa inaad ka nadiifisaa dhinaca hoose iyo dhinacyada saxanka la dhisay. Sida ay tahay, waxaa jira qulqulo badan oo qulqulaya oo ka buuxsamay xabagta, dhammaantoodna waxay u baahan yihiin in la nadiifiyo. Waa nooc la mid ah qalajinta tupperware marka ay ka soo baxayaan weelka weelka. 

Waxaan ka shakisanahay in tani ay tahay ganacsi nashqad ah si aan kor ugu qaadno aagga daabacaadda iyada oo loo oggolaanayo resin ku filan daabacaad weyn. Intaa waxaa dheer, daabacuhu kuma jiraan wax funnels ama filtarrada, kuwaas oo labadaba aad rabto inaad haysato.

Waxaan sidoo kale isku daynay inaan bedelno xaashida FEP . Xaashida FEP waa filimka ku yaal gunta hoose ee tamaarka xabagta. Haddii ay wasakh noqoto, xoqdo, ama daloosho, waxay u baahan tahay in la beddelo. Sida dhammaystiran ee bilawga ah ee daabacaadda resinka, waxaan ogaanay ku rakibida xaashida FEP cusub inay tahay mid toos ah. Waxaa jira tiro badan oo biro ah oo lagu adkeeyo, laakiin raacida tilmaamaha way fududayd. Waxay la mid tahay beddelka iyo hagaajinta madaxa durbaan dabinnada, codkuna wuu la mid ahaa, sidoo kale!

Soo jeedinta ugu dambeysa

Haddii aad tahay qof doonaya in wax yar uun ka shaqeeyaan^(work) sanduuqa, markaas malaha daabacaadda resinku adiga maaha. Taasi maaha dhaleeceynta Photon Mono X.^{(Photon Mono X)}

Haddii, dhanka kale, aad tahay qof gelin doona waqtiga loo baahan yahay si aad runtii u barato waxyaabaha ka soo baxa tignoolajiyada cusub, markaa, haa, waxaan gabi ahaanba kugula talineynaa daabacaha AnyCubic's Photon Mono X 3D . Waad jeclaan doontaa (ugu dambeyntii). Waxay daabici kartaa waxyaabo aan suurtogal ahayn in lagu daabaco madbacada filaha. Intaa waxaa dheer, waxay u egtahay^{(looks )} uun cajiib.

Review of AnyCubic Photon Mono X 3D Printer

AnyCubic recently sent us their gorgeous Photon Mono X 3D printer and Wash and Cure station to try out. This was our first, ahem, exposure to 3D printing with resin, although we* have plenty of experience with filament/FDM 3D printers. Rest assured, this review is independent and was not shared with AnyCubic in advance of publication. 

We spent a few weeks using AnyCubic’s Photon Mono X, and, overall, we found it to be an excellent product with a few notable downsides, mostly related to the challenges inherent to printing with resin and not the printer itself.

The Upshot: This Printer Is Amazing

It’s big. It’s beautiful. It’s an MSLA printer. What does that mean? MSLA stands for masked stereolithography. As we noted in our article about how 3D printing works, “MSLA printers use lasers to cure a liquid resin into a solid plastic material. Usually, the object is ‘pulled’ from a vat of resin, forming layer by layer as it rises from the material.” 

In other words, it’s magic.

The Caveat: You’ve Got Some Learning (and Cleaning) to Do

It’s going to take some time to get to the point where you’re proficient with the Photon Mono X or any resin printer. Once you know what you’re doing, using this printer is straightforward, but getting there can be frustrating. 

We’ve been assured by experts that this experience is universal. It is a rite of passage, similar to getting the first layer to come out right on an FDM printer. The only difference is that if your first layer fails to adhere to the build plate on a resin printer, there’s a lot of messy clean-up involved. 

That’s because any time a print fails on a resin printer, you have to clean everything. Since the resin is a toxic material, that means you’ll go through a lot of gloves, masks, paper towels, Windex, and alcohol. (Note: We used Everclear since it’s cheaper than isopropyl, although we’re not sure the cashier at the liquor store believed us.) However, as you improve, there’s less and less clean-up involved.

Resin vs. Filament: What’s the Difference?

A resin printer allows you to print objects with incredibly fine details. If you’re coming from the filament world, the resolution will amaze you. However good you think it will be, it’ll probably be better. 

Build Volume & Printing Speed

The Photon Mono X has a larger build volume than virtually any other consumer-level MSLA printer on the market today. Moreover, printing time is entirely dependent on the exposure time and the number of layers, not on how much material is cured per layer. 

You can cram as much as you want onto the build plate, and it won’t affect your print time. 

Product Quality & Safety

The Z-axis rails on the Photon Mono X are no joke. They’re superior to the linear rails on any printer we’ve seen. Linear rails keep your print from wiggling while printing, and there’s no noticeable play on the Photon Mono X. The Z screw is beefy with no visible wobble. 

Additionally, the touchscreen is responsive and easy to read, and the menus are intuitive. The overall look is clean and sleek.

The optional safety features are more than adequate to protect your eyes from UV light and protect the resin from sunlight. In fact, we left the resin in the printer for three days next to a window, and none of the resin cured from the sunlight. 

Washing & Curing Your Print

AnyCubic’s wash and cure station perfectly complement the resin printer. They look great together. The wash station has a built-in magnetic stirrer that agitates the cleaning solution, allowing you to clean your print in less than five minutes. It’s almost effortless. 

After printing, you can remove the print from the bed or you can put the bed itself into the wash station, alleviating some of the need for cleaning we mentioned above. 

Note: You do need a LOT of cleaning fluid, whether that’s alcohol or the cleaning solution of your choice. The cleaning solution goes into a large plastic container with a snap-on top. 

To wash, you set the wash timer, hit Go, and you’re done. Be careful handling the uncured print. It will be soft and not fully cured, so it’s easy to deform the print if you’re not careful.

To cure the print, you place it on a carousel that comes with the Wash & Cure station. Optionally, you can adjust the angle of the topmost LEDs to direct light towards the print. 

It’s just as easy to cure as it is to wash. Set the timer, press the Start button, and a few minutes later, your print is cured. Enjoy the weird, eerie glow of the print as it’s curing.

AnyCubic’s PhotonWorkshop

AnyCubic’s slicing software doesn’t feel as polished as Cura or Slic3r, but it does have lots of interesting functionality that, admittedly, we haven’t fully explored. You can add manual or automatic supports, rafts, and drainage holes. 

PhotonWorkshop is a little clumsy to navigate and learning how to place supports correctly takes some trial and error. If you don’t adequately support your print, it will fail and then you’ll have to clean the resin vat before your next attempt, so it’s crucial that you learn how supports work. 

Transferring files to the Mono X is a snap. Upload a file to a USB drive, and stick it in the printer. Bam. As it prints, you’ll see images on the LCD screen of each layer as it’s being exposed. It’s pretty fun to watch. And, AnyCubic has a phone app you can use to monitor your prints and start them remotely. 

Maintaining the Photon Mono X

Regarding maintenance, we wish the resin vat’s pour spout were better designed. Resin doesn’t pour out cleanly, making clean-up more difficult. Moreover, when printing, the resin covers the top of the build plate, not just the bottom, so when it’s time to clean up, you have to clean the resin off of both sides. That’s unfortunate, but we’re uncertain how it could be avoided. 

Another complaint: it’s hard to remove the build plate without dripping resin on the machine. You have to do a dance when you remove the build plate. It’s difficult to keep it over the vat so the resin doesn’t drip everywhere. Once you’re consistently getting good prints, this won’t be as much of an issue.

At some point you’ll have to pour the resin back into the container it came in, and you’ll have to clean off the build plate. That process is not as convenient as it could be. Ideally, you’d only have to clean off the bottom and the sides of the build plate. As it is, there are a lot of nooks and crannies that fill with resin, and they all need to be cleaned. It’s kind of like drying tupperware off when it comes out of the dishwasher. 

We suspect this is a design tradeoff to maximize the print area while allowing for enough resin for a large print. Furthermore, the printer doesn’t include any funnels or filters, both of which you’ll want to have.

We also tried changing the FEP sheet. The FEP sheet is the film at the bottom of the resin vat. If it gets dirty, scratched, or punctured, it needs to be replaced. As complete beginners to resin printing, we found installing a new FEP sheet to be pretty straightforward. There are a ton of screws to tighten, but following the directions was simple. It was like changing and tuning a snare drum head, and the sound was similar, too!

Final Recommendation

If you’re someone who wants things to just work out of the box with little effort, then perhaps resin printing isn’t for you. That’s not a criticism of the Photon Mono X.

If, on the other hand, you’re someone who will put in the required time to really learn the ins and outs of new technology, then, yes, we absolutely recommend AnyCubic’s Photon Mono X 3D printer. You’re going to love it (eventually). It can print things that would be impossible to print on a filament printer. Plus, it just looks amazing.
