#ANYCUBIC PHOTON MONO SOFTWARE#
The ChiTu firmware and ChiTu Box software offer a contemporary combination that’s super easy to use. You generally wouldn’t need it at small layer heights because they’re already capable of smoothing out your finish without it. It can help preserve detail while still maintaining speed. This technique is likely more useful in larger layer heights. It bridges sharp corners you would normally find in the voxels. By using the anti-aliasing settings, you can lessen this aesthetic effect. When the voxels are small enough, they are invisible in the final print job. The pixels are realized in 3D, called voxels. That’s because every slice of your print is a 2D grid made of square pixels. In most cases on an LCD printer like the Elegoo Mars, you can see a grid pattern on the surface of the print job. You can boost printing ability using the included ChiTu Box slicing software, and adjusting the anti-aliasing print settings. Your prints will finish with much more detail than a similarly priced FDM printer. The standard layer heights of 0.01-0.02 are perfect and not worth changing. If you do want to fiddle with the settings a bit, you can adjust layer heights and it won’t result in failures out of the gate. Resin printing has a lot less drama than traditional filament printing, and it prints as expected without much fuss, even on the default settings without any tweaking. The company also offers plenty of options that you can order directly from them so you can test them out. While the printer doesn’t come with any resin, it’s compatible with any 405nm UV sensitive resins. It takes about two minutes to set up, plugin, and print. Just loosen two screws, lower the plate into the bottom, and level. The Elegoo Mars comes with complete instructions, but it really doesn’t need them. It’s one of the cheapest 3D printers out there. The print volume is 120mm x 68mm x 155mm, so it’s a little smaller than some others, but for the price, it’s well worth sacrificing a little. Removing prints is also much easier on this printer than on many others. With the lid out of the way, you get unrestricted access to your resin tank and you don’t have to remove the vat at all. However, over time, you’ll find that there’s clearance around the Z-axis to allow for you to get it on and off quickly. You have to remove it completely to access the resin and print vat. There is a removable UV-blocking lid that can be inconvenient. You can slide it easily if you need to, which may be more often than you like because of poor USB port placement at the rear of the machine.Įven if you have to slide it forward, it will resist tipping or rocking, so you can navigate the machine for general use without worrying. The unit is well balanced without being too heavy. The ratio of price to performance is much better than most other 3D printers, putting it in a class all its own. In addition, this technology prints great. Beginners enjoy a clean experience while even experienced users will appreciate the lack of unnecessary bloat. While the stereolithography is simple, it makes the entire process easier. The build plate itself moves layer by layer rather than two axes moving simultaneously, cutting out the noise and making it much easier to operate and maintain. Because there are no hot ends or nozzles, there’s no drama. It uses a viscous liquid resin that oozes more smoothly across a resin vat, a single moving axis that moves at a quiet whirr, and no filament wrangling. However, as far as 3D resin printers go, this is one of the easier ones to maneuver. Not to mention, the smell of the resin is quite powerful. It involves washing finished pieces with ethanol, allowing them to cure, and cleaning off the build plate. The reason the Elegoo Mars is so easy to use is that it features masked stereolithography technology rather than the fussy fused deposition modeling of other 3D printer varieties.ģD resin printing isn’t for everyone and the cleanup process can be quite messy. It’s forgiving and rewarding at a great price point so you can enjoy consistent successful prints, high-quality performance, and little effort. The Elegoo Mars offers an easy 3D printing experience that’s great for beginners.
