Key Notes Before Start
Stable Printing Environment
Store your 3D printer in a dry and well-ventilated environment. Place it on a
flat surface and avoid direct sunlight exposure. Protective Measures
When handling resins or prints, please wear Personal Protective Equipment such
as gloves, masks, protective goggles, and long-sleeved clothes.
Maintenance
-
Clean the Z-Axis
First, wipe the ball screw with Lint Free Wipes. Then, apply a thin layer of lithium-based lubricant so that it whirls smoothly. -
Clean the 3D Printer
Use sanitizing alcohol and Lint Free Wipes to carefully clean the printer, the resin vat, and the building plate.

Prepare Your 3D Printer
Guided Process for Initial Use
When turning on your 3D printer for the first time, please follow the Guided
Process for Initial Use on the Touch Panel to complete the initial tests.
Tests include the LCD test, Auto-Leveling, and first test print to ensure that
your printer functions properly.
- If you miss the initial use setup, please go to the ” Settings” page on the left column of the touch panel and click ” System Settings” > ” Restore to Factory Settings” The machine will restart and display the tutorial setup.
Auto-Leveling
When activated, the building plate will automatically descend until it touches
the vat film to automatically determine the Z-Axis zero position.
-
If the building plate, Z-rod, LCD panel, or screen protector was changed, please perform “Z-Axis Calibration ” instead.
Z-Axis Calibration
Go to the ” Settings” page on the left column of the touch panel and click” Hardware Testing”. Then, choose “Z-Axis Calibration” to perform the calibration.
Follow the on-screen instructions to perform Z-Axis calibration:- Remove the resin vat and place a piece of A4 paper on top of the LCD screen.
- Install the building plate and secure the thumb screws tightly: Then loosen the four calibration screws on both sides of the building plate.
- Wait for the building plate to touch the LCD screen, then tighten the four screws on both sides of the building plate diagonally.
- Click” Done” and wait for the building plate to return to its original position to complete the Z-Axis calibration.
Moving the Slider on the Z-Axis
To use this function, please use Auto-Leveling every time the printer is
restarted to first detect the Z-Axis zero position.
Z-Axis Adjustment
- Adjust your Z-Axis zero position when printing resin with high viscosity, or to optimize printing flat objects directly on the build plate.
- Once Auto-Leveling and Z-Axis Calibration are completed, you’ll automatically get directed to adjust your Z-Axis.
- Adjust the Z-Axis zero position based on your printing needs.
- Once you get to the position you need, choose ” Set” to complete the Z-Axis adjustment process.
Tips: Rebooting the firmware will reset the Z-Axis adjustment settings. Please repeat the Z-Axis Adjustment setting before each print.
Special Features
-
Heater
When enabled, the heater will maintain the internal temperature at 30°C to ensure stable printing results. -
Residue Detection
When enabled, the printer will stop printing once it detects any foreign objects between the building plate and the vat film upon the first layer of printing. -
Failure Detection
When enabled, the machine will detect any possible abnormalities during printing and notify you whether to stop or continue the print.
Prepare Your Print File
The Sonic Mighty 14K Revo supports both .CTB and .PRZ file formats. Use slicer software to turn .STL and .OBJ files into .CTB or PRZ files. Convert STL/OBJ File to .CTB/.PRZ File
- Import.STL or.OBJ files into the slicer software. and add supports to your models to secure them to the building plate.
- Choose the ” Sonic Mighty 14K Revo” printer in the slicer. Set the resin parameters according to your resin and slice.
- After the slicing is completed, save it as a . CTB or .PRZ file and the file are ready to be printed
Test Files for Your First Print
- The USB included in the toolbox contains both .STL and .CTB files oftwo test models: ” Phrozen_test” and ” Phrozen_XP_Finder”.
- You can directly print the CTB files in the USB with Aqua-Gray 8K Resin. If you are printing with other resins, slice the STL files with the compatible parameter settings required for your resin.
File Import and Network Connection
Sonic Mighty 14K Revo can import files either via USB or network connection. The printer is also equipped with 8.0 GB built-in memory to save transferred files in the printer.
Import Files via USB
- Save the .CTB or .PRZ file to your USB, and plug the USB into the printer.
- On the ” Print.” menu on your touch panel, click ” USB” > select the file you want to print > “Print”.
Wi-Fi Network Connection
- In the ” Settings” menu, click” Network Settings” to connect the printer to the Wi-Fi in your area.
- After the connection is successful, your printer’s IP address will be displayed on the printer’s touch panel.
First Test Print
After conducting the Z-Axis calibration or Auto-Leveling, and LCD test, you can now perform your first test print.
- Tighten the screws on your resin vat and building plate. Make sure the building plate and resin vat are clean from any debris.
- Shake the resin bottle for 1 minute. Pour the resin into the vat without exceeding the maximum mark.
- Insert the USB, find the test file named” Phrozen _XP_Finder. Mighty14KRevo_AQ8K.ctb ” and start printing it with Aqua-Gray 8K resin.
- While printing, please keep the lid closed to prevent light exposure that may affect your prints. Once printing is complete, carefully remove the building plate and use a metal scraper to carefully remove your print. Use a 95% sanitizing alcohol or Washing Station to clean your printed models. After it’s fully dry, post-cure your models with a Curing Station
