ANYCUBIC Photon Mono M7 PRO and Purifier 2.0 User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, setup, and maintenance of your ANYCUBIC Photon Mono M7 PRO resin 3D printer and the accompanying Purifier 2.0. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the product to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. Safety Information

Resin 3D printing involves materials and processes that require careful handling. Always adhere to the following safety guidelines:

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety glasses, when handling resin.
• Operate the printer in a well-ventilated area. The Purifier 2.0 assists with ventilation, but additional airflow is recommended.
• Keep resin away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store it in a cool, dark place.
• Avoid skin contact with uncured resin. In case of contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• Do not dispose of liquid resin down drains. Cure residual resin under UV light before disposing of it as solid waste.
• Keep the printer and resin out of reach of children and pets.
• Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and grounded.

4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Place the printer on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
3. Remove any protective films or packaging materials from the printer.

4.2 Purifier 2.0 Connection

The Purifier 2.0 is designed to reduce odors and VOCs during printing. Connect it as follows:

1. Identify the ventilation port on your Photon Mono M7 PRO.
2. Connect the Purifier 2.0's flexible hose to the printer's ventilation port.
3. Extend the exhaust hose from the Purifier 2.0 to an external environment, such as a window, to vent gases effectively.

4.3 Initial Power-On and Leveling

1. Connect the power adapter to the printer and plug it into a power outlet.
2. Turn on the printer using the power switch.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions for initial setup, including build plate leveling. Refer to the quick start guide for detailed leveling procedures.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Preparing Your Model for Printing

1. Install a compatible slicing software (e.g., Anycubic Photon Workshop) on your computer.
2. Import your 3D model (STL, OBJ format) into the slicing software.
3. Adjust print settings such as layer height, exposure time, and support structures. The Photon Mono M7 PRO supports high-speed printing up to 170mm/h with high-speed resin and 130mm/h with standard resin.
4. Slice the model and save the generated file to a USB drive.

5.2 Starting a Print

1. Ensure the resin vat is clean and securely installed.
2. Pour resin into the vat, ensuring it is below the maximum fill line.
3. Insert the USB drive with your sliced model into the printer's USB port.
4. On the printer's touchscreen, select your model file and initiate the print.
5. The Purifier 2.0 will activate automatically or can be manually started to manage fumes.

5.3 Advanced Features

• 14K High-Precision LCD: The 14K monochrome LCD screen (13312*5120 resolution, 16.8 × 24.8 µm XY resolution) allows for printing intricate details, including holes as small as 0.3 mm in diameter.
• COB LighTurbo 3.0: This advanced light source system, combined with Fresnel lenses and front-facing reflectors, achieves a light angle within 3° and light uniformity exceeding 90%. It includes a light-off compensation algorithm to enhance printing success rates.
• Circulation Heating: The printer features a circulation heating system designed to maintain an optimal printing temperature, which is crucial for consistent resin performance and print quality.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Printer

• After each print, carefully remove the build plate and clean off any residual resin.
• Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a soft cloth to clean the build plate and printer surfaces.
• Inspect the FEP film in the resin vat for damage or cured resin particles. Replace the FEP film if necessary.
• Never use sharp objects to scrape the FEP film or LCD screen.

6.2 Resin Handling and Storage

• Filter unused resin from the vat back into its original bottle using a mesh filter.
• Store resin bottles in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure resin bottles are tightly sealed to prevent contamination and premature curing.

6.3 Purifier 2.0 Maintenance

• Regularly check the filter in the Purifier 2.0 and replace it as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain optimal performance.
• Keep the hoses clear of obstructions.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, please contact customer support.

7.1 Print Failures

• Model not sticking to build plate: Re-level the build plate, increase bottom exposure time, or ensure the room temperature is adequate.
• Partial prints or layers missing: Check for insufficient supports, incorrect exposure settings, or resin contamination.
• Deformed prints: Verify print orientation, support placement, and ensure the FEP film is not damaged.

7.2 Printer Not Responding

• Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the power switch is on.
• Restart the printer.
• Check the USB drive for corruption or incompatible file formats.

7.3 Purifier Not Working

• Verify the power connection to the Purifier 2.0.
• Check if the filter is clogged and needs replacement.
• Ensure hoses are not kinked or blocked.
