• Follow the instructions on the screen to perform ” Auto Leveling”

1. Remove the resin vat, install; the building plate and tighten the thumb screw, and place a sheet of A4 paper on the LCD
2. Wait for the plate to ascend to the top and descend to the bottom after triggering the actuators.
3. Follow the prompt to pull on the paper. Friction should be equal in all four corners. You can adjust accordingly using the Z-Offset if the paper is. too loose.or too tight.
4. Tap ” Next” to finish the Auto Leveling.
   • Please perform “Z-Axis Calibration” if you have changed the building plate, the Z-axis, the LCD panel, or added an LCD screen protector.

Z-Axis Calibration

• On the left side of the menu, find ” Tools” > ” Z-Axis Control” > tap Auto Leveling,” in the upper left corner > choose “Z-Axis Calibration”.
• Follow the instructions on the screen to perform “Z-Axis Calibration”.

1. Remove the resin vat and place a sheet of A4 paper on the LCD.
2. Wait for the Z-axis to ascend to the top.
3. Install the building plate and tighten the thumb screw. At the same time, loosen the four calibration screws at the side of the plate.
4. Wait for the plate to descend to the bottom, and tighten the four screws diagonally while pressing gently on the plate.

• A) Thumb Screw
• B) Calibration Screws

Z-Slider

To use this function, make sure to ” Move Z-Axis to Top ” whenever the printer is restarted to register the top point.

Preheat

• Enabling this feature will activate the heater for a set amount of time after selecting the print file. Printing at a stable and ideal temperature will increase the printing quality.
• Printing will start after the chosen preheat time is completed

Residue Detection

• Enabling this feature the printer will monitor for any solid residue between the resin vat and the building plate when first descending.
• Printing will be terminated when such residue is detected.

Failure Detection

• Enabling this feature the printer will monitor the release status of cured resin during printing. A warning message will appear on the screen when consecutive releasing errors are detected

Prepare Your Print File

• The Sonic Mighty Revo supports both.CTB and . PRZ file formats.
• Use slicer software to turn.STL and OBJ files into.CTB or PRZ files.
