Power was restored - a print was interrupted.

These work only while the printer's own prompt is still on its screen - any button press at the printer takes over.

Dry run mode enabled.

The motions run but the UV LEDs stay off, so nothing cures. Press here to jump to the Dry run switch.

Web control is off - view only.

All actions are disabled: print controls, SD changes, uploads, settings and firmware updates. Monitoring and "Send to printer" from the slicer keep working. Enable: printer → System → Advanced → Network.

Getting started

Circles are steps to do - the printer ticks some off by itself, click the rest when done. Reopen this guide any time with the ? next to Manual.

Resin needed

⚠ Sliced at ? mm, not 0.05 mm - the printer assumes 0.05 mm, so this may print flat. Re-slice with a 0.05 mm layer height.

⚠ Layers are ?, not 320×240 - this file was sliced with the display set to portrait. It will print rotated. In PrusaSlicer: Printer Settings → Display → Orientation = landscape, then slice again.

Preview is built in the browser from every Nth sliced layer; the box is the printer's build volume (40.8 × 30.6 × 68 mm).

Resin

Layer height (mm)? Base exposure (s) Regular exposure (s) Base layers Transition layers Slow lift distance (mm) Fast lift distance (mm) Slow lift feedrate Fast lift feedrate Drop back feedrate

A profile is a starting point. This printer's colour screen absorbs UV, so manufacturer tables read far too short here - run the exposure test with your resin, then save the result.

Save stores these values in the printer and in the profile above. Discard changes Reset to factory

Resin calibration

How the printer turns grams into millilitres for the resin above. Set it once per resin; it travels in the profile.

Resin left, by weight

The marker on the vat says full or not. A scale says how much - and that is the number the low-resin warning and the per-model estimate actually work with.

Vat now weighs g = - ml left

(weight − empty vat - g) ÷ profile density. Vat differs? Weigh it

Density

Currently - g/ml - this is what turns the grams you weigh into ml.

Measured g of ml = - g/ml

Fill the vat to its marker, weigh it empty and full, and enter the difference against the vat size - or weigh a syringe. Changing this re-fits both samples below, so the calibration stays correct.

Weighed prints

Sample 1 estimated ml → weighed g = - ml

Sample 2 estimated ml → weighed g = - ml

Weigh the vat before and after a print and enter the difference. Two prints of clearly different size are what let the printer tell the model scaling apart from the fixed film that leaves on the plate every time.

Boot animation

Pick which animation plays at power-on and press Save config. Show plays it on the printer's screen (idle only) - check the printer. Delete removes the file from the SD card.

3D previews

Models show a real, turnable 3D view once their slice data is prepared. A model prepares itself the first time you open it - this does the whole card in one go.

All models

About half a minute per model, and only while the printer is idle. Old flat thumbnails are removed as each model is prepared.

Backup & restore?

Requires TinyMaker Connect registration.

The backup holds every setting and the lifetime counters. With a backup on the SD card, the printer offers to restore it on the first boot after a full USB reflash.

3.6 MB is copied to the SD card, so the slicer works without internet. Nothing reboots; copying is refused while printing.
