  • Anycubic Eco resin settings

    These are on a Mars 2 Pro printer with a screen protector in place. These figures are for the Anycubic Eco Pink resin.

    Chitubox settings:

    Bottom Layer Count: 7

    Bottom Exposure Time: 32s

    Wait Mode During Printing: Resting

    Rest Time Before Lift: 0

    Rest Time After Lift: 0

    Rest Time After Retract: 0.5s

    Bottom Lift Distance 7mm

    Lifting Distance 6mm

    Bottom Retract Distance and Retract Distance seem to be auto calculated.

    Bottom Lift Speed 40mm/min

    Lifting Speed: 40mm/min

    Bottom Retract Speed 200mm/min

    Retract Speed 200mm/min

    Lychee settings:

    Burn In Layers: 7

    Exposure Time: 32sec

    Transition Layers: 3

    Light Off Delay: 7s

    Lift Distance: 7mm

    Lift Speed: 40mm/min

    Regular layers:

    Light Off Delay: 7sec

    Lift Distance: 6mm

    Lift Speed: 40mm/min

    Retract Speed: 200mm/min

    Exposure Values:

    0.01mm layers: 2.1sec

    0.02mm layers: 2.2sec

    0.03mm layers: 2.3sec

    0.05mm layers: 2.5sec

    Notes:

    Trying 0.01mm at 2.2 sec made the supports very difficult to get off.

  • Anycubic Eco UV Resin MSDS safety data sheet

    I couldn’t find a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the Anycubic Eco UV Resin anywhere, so I asked Anycubic for a copy. Within hours they emailed me a copy – attached here for anyone else who was curious and didn’t want to wait for them to send it to them. It seems to be current as of Sep 2021 – if you need an updated version best to get in touch with them!

  • 4K resin printer quality

    When you get it all tuned the quality of output is superb – it takes a LOT of zooming in to see the layer lines on this particular print:

    Imperceptible unless you have a macro lens pointed at it. Really quite incredible, particularly coming from FDM where layer lines are a fact of life.
