Anycubic Mono X: How to get the best Performance from your 3D Printer.

Welcome to Protips! You might remember us unboxing and setting up the Anycubic Mono X a year ago. Since we've been 3D printing with multiple Anycubic Mono Xs for over a year, we would like to share with you our updated review of this model!

On my two Mono X - one first gen and newer version with the checker plate. On the newer printer I was unable to remove the supplied test print from the build plate. Just in case any settings were different from the original printer I tried the test print supplied with that on to the newer one, and same again. I ended up halving the base layer exposure time to bable to get the print off the base plate. Also impressed with the checker board build plate as it doesn't seem to get the black oxide layer build up that the smooth plate gets. I was so impressed with the checker board build plates I purchased 3 more - giving two per printer. Strangely, the checker board build plate made no difference to the adhesion of the prints to the older printer. I have also replaced half of my handles with 3D printed ones, with enough spares ready to replace the remaining ones. Thanks for the cleaning tips.

We just purchased one that was built in July 2022. It comes with a screen protector and the build plate comes with a nice waffle pattern on the bottom now.

Fantastic job! Great tips and details regarding wear and tear issues.

My first knob melted, my second one I did not use any cleaning but that one crumbled to pieces!! My Elegoo Mars 2018 knob is still as good as new with IPA99, 9
I've had some real struggles for a year now with the Mono X and no AA, fan noise, liters of resin failures

[techadeptcrafts]

Very useful video. Thank you. I'm going to try your print settings, as I have been having terrible trouble with the longevity of my feps. Your exposure times are more than half the time I've been using, but your lift speeds are far faster. Interested to see what happens.

Great video. Thanks for posting. Monocure is a great company with great resins!!

[mackyd]

is there a site to go to where everyone shares their knowledge (settings etc) for this 3d printer?

[jocelyncasim]

also any tips on how to get the printer to accept the chitubox files ; it will only see the lychee thanks

HI, i have bought this mono X one and the washer, Please could you help me how can i cleaning well the vat after. The thin film is so "thin" i dont want to rip it. THX

Got a MonoX, been working without a failure, I have been thinking if I should update the firmware as I got mine in the pre order stage so it’s quite old.
If I pause the print to add more resin it will create a layer line which doesn’t happen on my other printer and I’ve had it happen once where I moved the buildplate up to stir the resin in the vat and it skipped a bunch of layers from some of the supports. The workaround is to always fill the vat with resin close to the max line and to always turn off and on before print if I move the buildplate so was hoping updating the firmware would fix these.

Where did you get the protective film for the LCD? I have the photon mono not the mono x by the way.

[juanpablodelvecchio]

a query, for a creality ld006, what specifications can I use to further improve the print quality?, of course, many thanks

[alanq]

Just got a Mono X and I'm having a lot of failures because of the supports. Any help would be appreciated.

[loveu]

thanks for your video of the mono x😊, a question at what power do you have the UV screen configured? since anycubic recommends lowering to 60%, thanks

[jaydenhardingArtist]

Hey everyone, Im currently having any issue with my anycubic photon mono x. The screen does not project the sliced shapes onto the screen. Exposure/cleaning tests work fine and produce a solid plate of resin. So the screen is working but just filling the whole screen everytime. I have updated the firmware, played with the uv percentage setting (%80 and %50) and tried different slicers (lychee and chitubox). Thank you in advance for any tips.

[timothyboles]

the issue i'm having is, output from the slicer program, being read by the printer, my firmware is currently V3.4.8 v1_v1.2. i'm wondering if I update the firmware, that issue will go away. how hard is it to update the firmware? is it just a matter of putting it on a memory stick, and plugging it into the printer?

[sirfrancisarthur]

Checkered base, I didn't know. Should get a lot more likes, I will ask the TD if I can upgrade my horribly warped plate for a checkered one.

Through which noxious gases come out, I saw that there are 2 fans downstairs, so I'm interested in whether noxious gases come out through those two fans, I have a great idea how to get the smells out. I don't have a mono 6k yet, I'm planning to get it on sale soon, so I was looking for a fan to buy to get the smells out of it, so I found a great fan Vacuum portable laptop cooler, it's cheap and quiet enough, it mostly sucks air, I would install pipes behind it and that's how I would arranged to draw smells out of my room. Question / is it possible to extract smels if I use a fan or do these smells come out from all sides of the machine?

[jocelyncasim]

i have bought four now and they keep breaking down and you cant get any help form anycubic

[jasonbrown]

I keep breaking my print jobs trying to get them off the plate. Any tips?
