Photon Mono X 6Ks

The Photon Mono X 6Ks is an LCD 3D printer from Anycubic with a 197 x 122 x 200 mm build volume.

Specifications

The Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks is a monochrome MSLA (Masked Stereolithography) resin 3D printer. Because it is a resin printer and not an FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printer, it does not use a hotend, nozzles, or filament, making several of these specifications inapplicable to its design [1, 2].

Here are the verified technical specifications based on the sources:

• Hotend: Not applicable. As a resin printer, it uses a 9.1-inch 6K monochrome LCD screen and an upgraded Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source to cure liquid photopolymer resin .
• Bed: It utilizes a laser-engraved aluminum build platform.

Calibration

The Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks is an MSLA (resin) 3D printer. Because it uses a UV LCD screen to cure liquid resin layer-by-layer rather than melting plastic through an extruder, FDM-specific calibration steps like E-steps, flow rate, PID, retraction, and pressure advance do not apply to this machine .

Here is the step-by-step calibration guide tailored to the Mono X 6Ks, addressing the applicable settings and model-specific quirks:

Common defects

Defect 1: Build Plate Horizontal Play / Wiggle

• Symptom: Print inaccuracies or shifting layers, particularly when models are placed near the edges of the build plate .
• Cause: Mechanical quality control (QC) weakness. The build plate mount uses a simple bent metal sheet and plastic spacers, resulting in over 2mm of horizontal play .
• Fix: Print your objects strictly in the center of the UV LCD/vat rather than the edges to minimize the impact of the mechanical wiggle .
