FAQs

Is Anycubic a good resin printer? ›

If you are shopping on a more restricted budget for a resin printer that can create highly-detailed models on a smaller scale, then the Anycubic Mono is a solid option.

The Standard UV Resin is a high precision UV-curable resin with a UV curing wavelength of 365-410 nm, a bottom exposure time of 20-60 s, and a normal exposure time of 5-15 s. The Standard UV resin was designed for LCD 3D printing, and it is recommended for the Photon series 3D printers.

What Resin Can I Use with the Anycubic Photon Mono X? The Anycubic Photon Mono X Resin 3D printer is an open-source printing which means that you don't have to use proprietary materials - you are free to use any compatible resin available, like MatterHackers MH Build Series Resins.

While resin 3D printers can produce better quality parts than filament printers, they fall short when it comes to part strength and durability. Resin parts are often weak and brittle, so they have relatively few end-use applications.

Most resin manufacturers rate their products with a one-year shelf life when unopened and stored properly in darkness at cool temperatures. Resin may still print after a year but won't be as effective. Protect it from light and heat to extend its usable lifespan.

Unfortunately, the short answer is: no, you shouldn't leave your printer unattended in the middle of a project because of safety issues. That may sound unreasonable, but the printer can be a fire hazard and you don't want to risk returning to a burnt down home or office.

Inhaling 3D printer fumes poses several health risks. Studies have shown that exposure to these fumes can cause inflammation and irritate the eyes, nose, and throat. Some VOCs found in 3D printer fumes, like styrene, are classified as carcinogens, indicating a potential risk of cancer with long-term exposure.

Curing with a UV Lamp

Moreover, the curing process using a UV light will only take a few minutes (as little as 1 minute for clear resins).

Tripropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (TPM)

Formlabs generally recommends the use of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) with a concentration of at least 90% to clean and dissolve uncured resin.

The short answer is yes, but there are some important things you need to keep in mind. Mixing resins can have a significant impact on the final quality of your prints, both in terms of strength and appearance.

What is the best Anycubic resin for models? ›

Best Standard Resin: ANYCUBIC Grey Resin

It's definitely a game-changer for printing models that require high precision. One thing we truly appreciate is the quick curing time. It means we can move through our printing projects much faster, which is a huge plus when we're on a tight schedule.

Is Resin Stronger than PLA? Yes, resin prints have stronger mechanical properties than PLA prints, but that doesn't mean they are rendered useless. PLA is used in a lot of 3D printing applications ranging from replacement parts, tooling accessories and architectural models.

Resin 3D prints are often far more intricate and detailed than PLA prints. Resin prints are often extremely durable. PLA filament is typically made out of plastic, which does have some tensile strength, but it can often be easily shattered or broken.

Its low odor, safety features, compatibility with LCD 3D printing, quick curing, and overall efficiency make it a standout choice in the market. I highly recommend this resin bundle to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality solution for their 3D printing needs.

The resin that comes with the printer is 250ml which will get used very quickly!

ANYCUBIC 3D Printer Rapid Resin, UV 405nm Plant Based Photopolymer Resin for LCD 3D Printing Grey 1000g.

The hot end can reach 260°C and the bed can reach 110°C, making the Anycubic Kobra suitable for most common filament materials, such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, and TPU. The print volume is 220 x 220 x 250 mm (8.7 x 8.7 x 9.8 inches), which is on smaller side in today's market, but still very usable.
