 Key Notes Before Start

Stable Printing Environment

Store your 3D printer in a dry and ventilated environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Make sure to place the printer on a flat surface.
Protective Measures

While printing and using resin, please make sure to wear gloves, masks, protective goggles, and long-sleeved clothing.

Maintenance

Clean the Z-axis
First, dry clean the Z-axis T-screw. Then apply a thin layer of general lubricant on it, so that it whirls smoothly.
Clean the 3D Printer
Use sanitizing alcohol and tissue paper to carefully clean the printer, the resin vat, and the building plate.

Prepare Your 3D Printer

For first-time use, please thoroughly follow the steps down below to calibrate your Z-axis and conduct the LCD Test so that your 3D printer is ready.
LCD Test

  1. Click on TOOLS. Then click on LCD TEST.
  2. Check to see if the LCD screen displays the same image as seen on the touch panel.
  3. When the LCD screen clearly displays the image, the LCD TEST is complete. “Please refer to the actual printer operation based on the touchscreen display.

Z-axis Calibration

  2. Shake the resin bottle for 1 minute. When pouring, make sure the resin does not exceed the max fill line on the resin vat.
  3. Insert your USB into Sonic Mini 8K. Choose the file and click GO to begin printing.
  4. Keep the plastic case closed during printing to prevent exposure to excessive UV light.
  5. After printing, carefully remove the building plate and then tilt and place it onto a desk or a flat surface. Use a metal scraper to carefully remove your print.

Use the Z-Offset Function to Reposition the Z-axis
After calibrating the Z-axis, you can use this function to modify your Z-axis zero position, if needed. Use this function if you are looking to print flat on the building plate or if the resin flow is slow.
