Anycubic Photon Mono - Bed Leveling

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of leveling the build plate on the Anycubic Photon Mono resin 3D printer. Proper bed leveling is crucial for achieving successful prints, as it ensures that the first layers adhere correctly to the build plate, reducing print failures and improving overall print quality.

Step 1: Prepare Your Printer

• Ensure your printer is turned off and unplugged before starting the leveling process.
• Clean the build plate surface to remove any resin residue or debris.
• Gather necessary tools: a piece of paper or a feeler gauge to check the distance between the nozzle and the build plate.

Step 2: Access the Bed Leveling Menu

• Power on your Anycubic Photon Mono printer.
• Navigate to the main menu using the touchscreen interface.
• Select the option for "Tools" or "Settings" where you'll find the bed leveling feature.

Step 3: Adjust the Build Plate Height

• Select the "Move" option to manually move the build plate.
• Move the build plate down until it is close to the LCD screen.
• Place the piece of paper or feeler gauge between the build plate and the screen.

Step 4: Level the Build Plate

• Use the adjustment knobs located at the corners of the build plate.
• Start with one corner, turning the knob until you feel a slight resistance when moving the paper back and forth.
• Repeat this process for all four corners and the center of the build plate.
• Ensure the same slight resistance is felt at each point.

Step 5: Final Check and Calibration

• After adjusting all points, recheck each corner and center to confirm they are all level.
• Make minor adjustments as necessary to ensure consistency.
• Once satisfied, exit the leveling menu.

Conclusion

Leveling the bed of your Anycubic Photon Mono is essential for successful resin printing. By following these steps, you ensure a proper foundation for your prints, which can lead to better adhesion and overall print quality. Regularly check your bed leveling, especially after moving the printer or changing the build plate. Happy printing!
