Recommended Starter Settings for Lychee Slicer / Chitubox.
āPlease noteā
I am giving NO guarantee that these settingsĀ will work on every printer with every resin. The settings below are just a good place to start.
Additionally, I recommend starting with a standard resin. I have a few options listed on the kit link above. You can certainly use a Tough or ABS Like resin, but those can sometimes be a little finicky. For
āPlease noteā
These settings are for mono screen printers. If your printer has an RGB screen use,
Exposure Time / Bottom Exposure Time: 50s
Exposure Time: 7s
All other settings should be the same as below.

My new (fathers day gift) Anycubic Photon Mono X2 is on the way š This video was very helpful and full of good tips for people just dipping their toes into resin printing for the first time. Thank you.
-
Love the delivery of your narration. Easy to understand and quite relaxing!
-
Liked, subscribed, and will be supporting patreon too!!! I am a total beginner, and none of my friends have ventured into 3d printing. I also live far away from the city where majority of the in-person support groups are This video is s-tier No nonsense and absolutely giving me just everything that I need to start printing I have tried other "absolute beginner" videos but they talk about statistics and details so much that by the time they get to the actual guide, I'm already overloaded with too much information! This is exactly just what I need THANK YOU!!!

Just got my resin printer today, and followed your video. I haven't really seen many with the exposure through paper trick, so that was cool. Thanks a lot for these videos!
-
This video is by far the best beginners guide to resin printing! Thank you! And especially thanks for that last bit of info about pausing 25-35% of the way through your print. I did indeed get nothing on my build plate on my first ever print- but that tip saved me over an hour of waiting for the print to "finish" before noticing.

So now that I've finally bought my first Resin printer, and first 3D printer ever - I've made my way back here to review this video once again. Tyler has been a fantastic guy to chat with and pick his brain about printers and has helped me to not along pick a printer that suits my newb needs, but to help guide me through the process of selecting software and so much more. Thanks for being a good friend and I wish you all the luck in life and with the channel!
