[@Ouroboros112]

For an unknown reason the test went perfectly but when I try other files the resin stick to the tube/vat????? I changed my bottom exposure to 60sec. for the 1rst 6 layers and still not good... Help

[@Oozaru85]

I'm interested in getting this printer to finally enter the world of 3D resin printing. Sadly, your review seems to be the only one here on KZbin. There are tons of reviews for the Photon M3 Plus and Max, but only one for the regular M3. Thats why your review is even more appreciated. Edit: Got this printer on a great discount and I'm loving it.

[@dnafpv]

Where do you get files? Do you just use the same ones from thingiverse as with pla printers?

[@Oozaru85]

@@dnafpv Files? What do you mean? You mean files to print? If so, Im sculpting my own figures and stuff with Zbrush and then print it.

[@dnafpv]

Ok so you’re saying there isn’t a thingverse for resin printing got it. Guess I won’t buy one then oh well

[@Oozaru85]

@@dnafpv I didnt say that. All Im saying is Im not using any files but my own for printing. Of course there is stuff for resin printers on thingyverse. It doesnt make a difference which printer you use. The files are all STL files, so you can open them in ur slicer software and export them to ur printers file format and print them.

Dude! That’s so awesome thank you so much man

Recently purchased this printer about a week ago. So far it's been great.

[@Archenuh]

The machine already has a screen protector already applied. It even said so on the pieces of paper you were showing. That other screen protector si an extra one that you get for applying once the first one gets wasted.

I ordered my on m3 because I wanted a resin printer for a good beginner print since there's a little less of user error to be made I personally think. This video helps a lot as for the basic of it I'm looking forward to getting it delivered and using it for my business of printing figurines and the detail I want is in this printer. maybe down the road after I get used to this one ill go to the m3 max for bigger prints but for now this one should be a good starting one for me. Thanks for the in depth of the printer and how it works. THUMBS UP for me!

You should NOT wash resin in the sink as it's a serious environmental hazard. You need to properly dispose of it, typically by curing it in UV light before disposal but it can't go down the drain.

[@danroberts007]

I was wondering about that as I watched this one. Good call and thanks for the heads up.

[@Jokerkiller064]

Good tip to give newbies, but I wonder, what do all the people do with their water containing resin from washing off prints?

[@BabaGhanoush69]

Nerd.

[@SSPENGUIN1]

It absolutely can go down the drain. It's very easy to do.

[@lexmen1089]

@@Jokerkiller064 newbie (bout to be in like a month since I bought this same printer yesterday) here, but I guess is the same as water with paint from brushes, or the isopropyl used to wash it too. The ammount of resin in there is really minimal anyways so it won't be a big bother or "oopsie I just took 0.2 hours of mother Earth's life". Still if you care you can leave it in UV light, prob will cure any resin in there.

[@KentoCommenT]

[@TheEZhexagon]

there is a very important notice on updating the firmware on this model machine . putting that build plate on the screen not a good idea that paper should of been down first. . not sure why people lift the build plate z up to put resin in, look like a accident to happen, can you not press home then lift z up very little then pour your resin on your build plate and that all so lets you know it cant be over the vat max line .like your video

[@magicman9486]

[@AHotHabanero]

So when do you use the UV light? Just a little confused, does it use the light as it prints or do you put the print after with the light?

[@mwsiviero]

That's my doubt as well.

[@Ultimaniacx4]

28:26 *DON'T WASH RESIN IN A SINK. WATER WASHABLE DOESN'T MEAN NON TOXIC*

[@AHotHabanero]

Where would you wash it?

[@Ultimaniacx4]

@@AHotHabanero Same place you'd wash normal resin with IPA, just with water. Or spray it off with a hose into a bucket. Then just leave the bucket in the sun. The resin in the water will cure and the water will evaporate leaving scrap you can just throw away.

[@697_]

did it come with a pre installed screen protector? I'm not sure if I peeled mine off before I installed the protector it came with or did I just remove the protection for the pre installed? I am ggetting a lot of failed prints and thinking to just remove the protector. Also, didn't install the protector very well there are lots of air bubbles which might be effecting it.

[@Александр-ы1з3г]

Очень крутой и информативный обзор! С голосовым переводчиком от Яндекс, не пришлось читать ))) Спасибо огромное автору!

[@smokeandflylv2442]

Did i need manual leveling before every print?

[@CellarDoorGraphics]

I'm pretty sure that there is already a screen protector on the machine and the one that comes in the little box is a replacement if you get a leak. You may want to verify that with the manufacturer

[@dspencer8989]

There is one installed. I had a leak I my vat and thought I messed up my screen. Ordered and new one, just to find out the old one had a screen protector the entire time. 🙃

[@kypdurron6168]

this may be th reason why my prints fail because i installed th second screen on the first one

[@TheLostFireWithin]

Mine had one installed, but it was all scratched up so I had to use the spare. Not sure if that was normal or not. My FEP was also marred up too and notified anycubic about it. Supposed to be getting a replacement in the mail but it's taking awhile.

[@TheLostFireWithin]

This printer seems to be an upgrade to my Nova3d Bene4 mono. I like the feet and size of the vat with 4k screen. I hate the FEP style with the plastic one piece design. I don't think the M3 plus has that and don't understand why companies keep doing this. I would have no issue with it if the FEP that came with it was nFEP. The Bene4 mono had the same proprietary FEP system, but I managed to get around that nonsense with a laser cut metal replacement from a manufacturer on ebay. I have seen reviews already saying that there have been leaks from their fep system which is why they push the protective LCD cover hard on this printer. Hope this isn't true.

[@ericohman]

Do you know if the mono x has ”better” fep design?

[@TheLostFireWithin]

@@ericohman I know it doesn't use the built-in frame. That means you can install nFEP which is superior to what anycubic puts in there frame style FEPs.

Lately everything I've been printing from mine has been coming out like the supports are broken. I am lost at what is going on. I really haven't changed much other then doing the set up like it said from the box. I only adjusted the setting a little bit due to the normal box setting not working for me. I thought maybe I didn't set the plate right or to low... but so hard to find anything with Anycubric at the waterwash resin.

[@eddiechen2128]

Thanks for the video!!! Do you have a video on how to make your own models, new images. Thanks

[@TheNguyen-eb7qq]

Compare resin 3d printer vs filament roll. Which one print better? I have filament roll 3d printer and sometime the model came out not good, but i wondering if resin can support to print strong material like nylon or carbon fiber.

[@tadhgd350]

I feel i have the knowledge to answer this so i will. Resin printers can’t print thermoplastic’s like nylon but there are “tough” resins that have a higher strength than standard resins, and some resins can even outperform filament printers. I have a resin from 3dmaterials that i am currently trying that is glass fibre resin, and I’ve tested some super tough resins too. Another thing to consider is that resin printers give almost the same strength on all 3 axis whereas filament printers are weaker on the Z axis. Hope this helps. (My yt tiger3dprinting might be able to help you a bit more with this with some tough resin reviews and also soon will be a project using a resin printer)

[@jgon12]

Nah it won't make that type of materials but there is some resins that are abs like material. Resin machines are mostly for small figures or something that you won't be using to smack someone it will break. They are use for small and really good looking stuff with no lines and accuracy. The filament ones cant do really small details and figures unless you really have the settings on point but even that it won't be as good ,but large objects are better on filament and with better materials

The mask in the pack is useless for the fumes. If anything, it will be for avoiding saliva droplets to fall on the tube.

[@Leo-dn9un]

So you need to Clean the build Plate each time too? Soap and water?

[@thanismurugathas2929]

Only when you take the resin out. If you are done with a print and have left over resin in there, then you can just leave it. It will stay uncured as long as you don't expose the printer to Sunlight or other UV light

Hello, I bought the same printer, and I ran into a problem: the models stick very strongly to the FEP film, because of this, the models tear off and break.

Hi, ****DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE**** Thank you for your videos They are very detailed and informative.

I tried to purchase the Anycubic photon Mono M5s and I found out that the discounts and offers they have on their website are all fake. The company is not an American company (which is ok) and is not located in US either. It is in Hong Kong but yet they charge Tax (LOL) even much higher rate than Uncle Sam does. They pocket the tax. They charge a lot for shipping as well. They offered a coupon of $60 worth for $10 and they don’t give you the access to use it until a few days later. Actually later after they charge you, they give you the restrictions. They didn’t let me use the coupon on the machine while they have special on it and said that is not available for this machine. 3 days later and they said you can only use it on this machine and only after the price has gone up. They raised the price of the machine $100 and now they say that I can use this coupon. Every email I sent them they didn’t respond right away and when they did they didn’t answer any of my questions and only send me a message about how I should buy the machine as soon as possible. I will not trust this company and buy any expensive machines if they are not responding to any concerns or question. Basically their warranty doesn’t mean anything either.
