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.
Hi Paul, I agree, the checkerboard build plate is great. I’m surprised the other manufacturers haven’t copied the idea yet!? Having a few spare is a good idea, I also like having extra vats. The vat for the original Mono X also fits the X2 which is awesome. I do find the adhesion to the new build plate much better than without checkers when using our epoxy based resins that tend to be less sticky than the urethane material in our TUFF and PRO resins. Especially noticeable when heat is involved. Thanks for your kind words! I hope you have subscribe to our channel!
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.
Thanks
Fantastic job! Great tips and details regarding wear and tear issues.
No problem! Appreciate the feedback.
Great video. Thanks for posting. Monocure is a great company with great resins!!
Thanks 🙏
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
We have found some low cost aluminium screws that work well. I’ll see if I can find the think.
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.
Dipped my knobs in fibreglass no issues now
Great idea!
is there a site to go to where everyone shares their knowledge (settings etc) for this 3d printer?
Facebook groups
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.
You should - they are much better!
also any tips on how to get the printer to accept the chitubox files ; it will only see the lychee thanks
Best to contact Chitubox about this one.
Title is a bit misleading. Only thing I really learned about getting more from my printer was to use an exposure of at least 2.5s for anti-aliasing. The rest was basically just a review of the model.
Thanks for the comments!
i have bought four now and they keep breaking down and you cant get any help form anycubic
How are they breaking down?
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
You can place the vat in the washing unit without damaging the FEP film.
What cad software do you guys use?
Just got a Mono X and I'm having a lot of failures because of the supports. Any help would be appreciated.
✅
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.
Interesting- thanks for letting us know and sharing.
Wow your rod is so greasy, should I add more grease to mine?? Or is that actually too much or doesn't matter?
Only needs enough to run smoothly.
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?
Heaps of tutorials on RUclips to update firmware. It's not hard.
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
We think 60% - 50% gives the best results.
a query, for a creality ld006, what specifications can I use to further improve the print quality? , of course , many thanks
All printers are different. I recommend you always print calibration models and do the testing yourself with these types of printers. Do not rely on settings that other people have found works because there are many factors that make it difficult to use other people settings. This includes everything from the way the printer was built to the resin you are using and the environment that you are in.
Where did you get the protective film for the LCD? I have the photon mono not the mono x by the way.
I just used a FEP sheet
👍🏻
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.
Not sure but could be the LED driver or Motherboard?
@@Monocure3DProTips thanks for the reply i managed to fix the printer. missed a secondary firmware update file on my first install.
how long does it take to change the vat plastic? 3 minutes? you act like it takes hours
More than 3 minutes!
10-15min last time I checked.
Hey guys!! Just stumbled across your channel this evening. Considering a resin printer and trying to sort thru my options. In the price range, would the Mono X be your recommendation at this time? Assuming since you have multiples that it’s been solid. Looking also at Creality/Elegoo/Phrozen. Thanks for any input!!
Sorry for slow response! Yes, the Mono X is a solid printer and seems to work well. They have been on special….
@@Monocure3DProTips No problem at all. In the meantime, I’ve actually preordered the Elegoo Saturn 2 8k!
Nice!! We need to get one of those for testing. Let us know how it goes!
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?
Noxious gases is a little overboard! There are some fumes while printing but if you leave the lid on this helps control most of the odour.
volume is low
Thanks for letting us know!
I keep breaking my print jobs trying to get them off the plate. Any tips?
Run hot water over the back of the build plate to soften the resin and make the parts easy to remove.

Why are you touching the vat with your bare hands?
Always where the proper PPE
Looks like fun but not a project for someone with nmo workspace and proper setup. I'll end up pissing my wife off from the looks of all this.
Once you start making her things for around the house she will get over it pretty quickly!
