[Aqua 8K] [Mighty 12K] Brian's Printing Setting for 12K Upgrade Kit with ACF Film

Brian Gordon recently purchased the 12K Upgrade Kit for his Sonic Mighty 8K Printer and did a series of tests and calibrations to see how well the new 12K LCD will holds up compared to the original 8K LCD.

To be able to see the true performance of the 12K LCD, Brian had to first dial in the Aqua Gray 8K resin that he choose, with the ACF film comes with the Upgrade Kit. And the final he got is a successful print of Cones of Calibration and a good result of 3DRS Starship Calibration test.

He also gave a full review for his 12K Upgrade Kit in the Phrozen 3D Printer Group on Facebook, which you can read it here:

Here is his result and settings. For those who are interested, should give it a try to see if his settings works with your printer.

*Transition Time Decrement should be set automatically according to the both exposure time for normal and bottom layer, and the layer count of bottom and transition layer. If not, please insert the number provided above.

**The retract distance for both normal layer and bottom layer should be set automatically as the same of their lifting speed. If not, please insert the number provided above.

Thanks to Brian for providing his result and settings to our community.

How to Create Your Own Resin Profile

Getting your resin settings right is crucial to achieving a successful print. This is particularly important for those who are aiming for the utmost detail and precision. However, it's often the case that companies only provide resin profiles for their own products—or sometimes they don't provide them at all. For newcomers to the scene, it can be quite frustrating to spend the majority of their time fine-tuning settings. Moreover, what works perfectly on one printer might not produce the same results on another. This discrepancy arises from the variations inherent to different devices, which shows the necessity to tailor resin settings accordingly. With that in mind, let's delve into the experience shared by Derek Jackson from J3DTech, also a Phrozen community member. He gives us some insight into the process of refining resin settings. Here's my take on the information: To dial in a resin, there are two ...

[Mega 8K] Setting Supports on Perforated Build Plate

Sonic Mega 8K has the largest printing volume of Phrozen's Sonic 3D printer line-up by the time of writing this article. Except the size, perforated build plate that comes with Sonic Mega 8K is also an obvious different from other models in the Sonic line-up. The reason Sonic Mega 8K comes with a perforated build plate is that, lager the scale the model is, or fuller the build plate, higher the suction force it has to deal with, also longer the time you have to wait for the resin to travel back to its place after retraction. The perforated build plate of Sonic Mega 8K can effectively helps reducing the suction force especially when printing the raft, and also letting resin traveling back to its position after retraction more quickly, preventing model from peeling off from the plate and layer lines happening. Some people may find it inconvenient working with perforated build plate, as in the slicing software, ther...

Optimizing Resin Printing in Colder Temperatures

As 3D printing enthusiasts continue to explore the boundaries of resin printing, adapting to environmental conditions becomes crucial for achieving optimal results. In this article, we will delve into the specifics of resin printing using a unique mixture: a 60/40 blend of Phrozen's Aqua 8K Gray and Onyx Impact Plus. Our focus will be on adjusting the printing settings for optimal performance in rooms with temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. ▲ Luther's Print Using the "Cold Setting". / Luther Caudle Understanding the Resin Mixture: The combination of Phrozen's Aqua 8K Gray and Onyx Impact Plus creates a resin blend that offers a balance of properties, including excellent detail resolution and enhanced impact resistance. However, like any resin, its behaviour can be influenced by environmental factors, particularly temperature. Challenges in Colder Temperatures: Lower room temperatures...
