New to 3D printing and not sure where to start? This tutorial is perfect for beginners! We'll guide you through the process of printing your 3D files step-by-step, with a focus on making it easy to follow.
Throughout the tutorial, we'll be using Tango, a user-friendly software tool for preparing and slicing 3D models for resin-based 3D printers. You'll learn how o set up your printer, resin and parameters, add support structures, slice your model, and save the file for printing. By following these instructions, you'll be on your way to creating your own 3D prints in no time!
Tango only supports PRZ file format for slicing models on Phrozen printers
Since Tango does not have a default machine setting for Sonic Mini 8k S, it is necessary to import the printer configuration of Sonic Mini 8k S into Tango in order to use Tango to slice PRZ files for Sonic Mini 8k S.
To do this, download the "Phrozen Sonic Mini 8k S.vdpcfg" file and import it into Tango.
