[Sonic Mini 4K] How to run the LCD Test

Before printing or when encountering an issue, you may need to check the status of your Sonic Mini 4K's LCD screen. This is to ensure that both the UV lights and the 6.1” Mono-LCD screen are functioning properly. We will guide you through the steps of performing an LCD test and how you can read it: 

DO NOT look directly at the UV light to prevent eye discomfort.

1. LCD test

Power up and Prepare

• Plug in the  power cable located at the back of the printer and switch on the power.

Perform the LCD  test

• On the touch panel, tap TOOLS > LCD TEST

• On the LCD screen, a 13.5 cm x 7.5 cm bright blue square will appear. Run this test to make sure the UV lights are distributed evenly.

3. Performing a Dry Print

If you're experiencing issues with such as flickering or glitches, a dry print can be a helpful troubleshooting tool. A dry print is a test print that you run without placing the resin vat and building plate. This allows you to check whether the LCD is flickering or functioning correctly.

Power up and Prepare

• Plug the power source on the printer, and turn on your printer and
• Remove the resin vat and building plate from the printer

Perform the dry run test
