[Sonic Mighty 4K] First print with Phrozen test file

After correctly calibrating your Z-axis, it’s time for you to test out your first print with the Sonic Mighty 4K! We have included a test file for you to test out the LCD 3D printer with Aqua-Gray 4K resin. Feel free to test your first print with our Phrozen rook.

Step 1: Suiting Up

As direct contact with resin may cause allergic reactions, it is advisable to wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) masks, goggles, and gloves while printing. 

Step 2: Fill the Vat with Resin

Fasten the resin vat and make sure to tighten the screws. Then shake the Aqua-Gray 4K resin evenly for approximately 1 minute before pouring it into the resin vat. When pouring resin, make sure it does not exceed half the height of the resin vat. 

Step 3: Transfer your File 

Currently, Sonic Mighty 4K only offers a USB data transfer method. Please download the Phrozen rook .ctb file and then save it onto your USB drive. Plug in your USB into the USB portal on the left side of the resin 3D printer to begin printing. 

Step 4: Start Printing 

On the touch panel, click PRINT, and choose your .ctb file. The printing process will take approximately 2 hours. 

1. Before every print session, make sure to check the resin vat for any cured resin and use the plastic scraper provided in the toolbox to stir the resin if needed. This will help ensure a successful print job.
2. Please take a moment to inspect the platform of the machine before starting a print job. If there is any clutter left behind, please remove it before beginning the print.

Step 5: Finish Printing

Once the printing process is complete, the building plate will retract to the top. Wait until the resin has drained completely before proceeding to the next step: post-processing.
