MAX UV

The MAX UV is a DLP 3D printer from Asiga with a 119 x 67 x 200 mm build volume.

Specifications

The Asiga MAX UV is a Digital Light Processing (DLP) resin 3D printer tailored for dentistry, audiology, and jewelry, which means some specifications typical of FDM (filament) printers: such as hotends and nozzles: do not apply .

Here are the verified technical specifications based on the sources provided:

• Hotend & Nozzles: As a DLP printer, it does not use a hotend or nozzles. Instead, it cures liquid photopolymer resin using an industrial-grade 385nm high-power UV LED light projector with a pixel resolution of 62 µm [2, 4].
• Build Volume: 119 × 67 × 75 mm (X, Y, Z) [2, 4].
• Bed (Build Platform) & Auto-Leveling: It uses a metal build platform.

Calibration

The Asiga MAX UV is a DLP (Digital Light Processing) resin 3D printer, which means FDM-specific calibrations: such as e-steps, flow rate, PID tuning, retraction, and pressure advance: do not apply to this machine .

Instead, the MAX UV relies on optical and mechanical calibrations to guarantee accurate resin curing. Here is the step-by-step calibration guide for the Asiga MAX UV based on its specific architecture:

• Set Zero Position (Bed Leveling & First-Layer Equivalent).

Common defects

Defects, Failures, and Troubleshooting

1. "Approach Failed" Error

• Symptom: The printer stops and displays the error message: "Approach failed: Target not reached in 'x' seconds" . This occurs when sensors detect increased resistance and the build platform cannot lower completely to the desired layer thickness [1, 2].
• Causes:
• Debris in the resin tray or on the platform from previous failed prints [2, 3].
