Since the curing settings for the printers that I have were requested a few times, I thought it best to make a post detailing everything, including my preferred resin.

The Machines:

I have two machines at my disposal for resin printing.

My first printer is the Anycubic Photon Mono X 6K

My second printer is the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K

I do have a third printer, that being the Prusa i3 Mk3, but that being an FDM machine, I will not go into detail on here.

The Resins:

Now for the resins, I use 2 colors primarily, both from Elegoo:

Elegoo Grey (Water-Washable)

Elegoo Green (Water-Washable)

With both of these resins, I combine each liter I purchase with 100ml of Siraya Tech Tenacious 3D Printer Resin in Flexible Yellow. This allows for each print to have some flex to it, and prevent brittleness after curing.

So again, for clarity, I combine each 1000ml (1 Liter) of Elegoo Grey or Elegoo Green with 100ml of SIRAYA Tech Tenacious. It is a 1/10 ratio.

The Settings (Lychee Slicer Recommended)

These resins have been tested over the course of dozens of prints, and the settings below will work for Transparent Green or Solid Grey without issue.

Anycubic Photon Mono X 6K Settings:

One crucial feature here is that the 6K allows for split layer lift-speeds. the total lift distance is 7mm, but for 4mm , it will only move at 1mm/s, but for the remaining 3 seconds, it will move at 3mm/s. This allows for a slow and
careful separation from the FEP, while also saving you print time.

(EDIT: I was informed by a commenter this was done in error. The maximum lift speed for the Mono X 6K is only 3mm/s, so that should be the secondary lift speed )

Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K Settings:

Attached below is the LycheeSlicer Printer profiles, for those that use the program as well.

I hope this has been helpful to all those who wanted an idea of what I print with. Be ready for the next model release very soon.

Hey-O, Just joined the partreon happy to be here. I have a

question / concern about your Photon Mono X settings if you not
using mm/m and your using mm/s if you put your machine to 75
mm/s that means your printer would try to move at 4500 mm/m
which on some printers that can cause issues some will just use
factory Max settings. I personally use 180 for lift speed TSMC
fast at mm/m which is more like 3mm/s. Am I wrong ?

Greetings, After looking into it, I see what the problem is. The
maximum lift speed for the Mono X 6K is 3mm/s, so putting that
secondary lift speed at 75mm/s will be confusing and misleading
to those who read it, since the machine cannot go any higher. I
will correct it immediately. Thank you for letting me know.

Appreciate the reply on that. So your screenshot is almost
perfect on the second retract settings as part of your TSMC you
want that to be slow also i.e. another 1 if your staying mm/s. I
typically do my slow retractions/lift speed at 40mm/m for large
figures. For smaller prints you the 60 mm/m will work great tho. I
highly recommend running a lil slower if you were gonna print
the large demon guys tho. General guideline i go with is Lift
speed 1: slow Lift Speed 2: fast then for retract speed i go.
Retract speed 1: fast because its bringing it back down and then
to get back to the fep you want retract speed 2: to be slow.

Not looking to be picky, this took a bit to figure out and Lychee
has like no documentation on it. There is a graphic
representation here that chitubox made that helps a ton on
understanding the movements for each box. Its basically in order
if you went to each box and follow the graphic.

What do you mean when you say "your screenshot is almost
dead"?

it was a poor grammar moment "Dead On" is a phrase.

I use the water washable stuff too. Does adding the Siraya Tech
to it make it still water washable, or do you have to use alcohol
at that point?

Can't speak for Emang, but In theory you should use IPA to
clean it. This has been debated at length in various facebook
groups like this one
"https://www.facebook.com/groups/sirayatech/posts/8323785943
40190/". Some people have tested and if you dont get the mix
just right a film gets left on the print. Maybe Emang has some
secret sauce for this tho. Siraya has pretty cool documentation
including printer profiles readily available for most printers.
Recommended cleaning steps are towards the bottom on this
page.

Not at all. the 10% addition of the SIRAYA Tech resin is not going
to completely alter the post-processing method, and you can still
use a heated water source, like I do.

Printed Harold and is beautiful, unfortunately I tried printing one
of the BT’s bodies and it sagged off the plate after 4 hours

It’s by far my favourite, I use siraya fast abs navy grey, but will
try your settings today

I’ll see if there aren’t enough supports

What are the chances you write up your settings and supports?
I'm amazed every time at how consistent and well made they are
done and it would be immensely helpful for someone like me just
starting on this stuff.

The support structures are the same "light, medium, heavy"
options that are available on Lychee by default. I also prefer
using a raft on all my prints.

Aqua 4K and Aqua 8K by Phrozen are my favorites right now.

What's your UV power % on your mono 6k? I maaay have

bought one as an upgrade so I could print some of your larger
models! I'm still dialing it in, and while my prints are mostly
coming out correct, I'm still seeing some small failures. Curious if
you're running at the default 65%...

I currently have it at 70%. Anycubic recommends between 45-
50% for Transparent resins, and between 60-70% for opaque
resins.
