This reminded me of my first time with a resin printer haha, also make sure no resin/ resin pieces go down your drain. Even water washable resin should be washed in a tub or plastic container of some kind :) Definitely a fantastic printer!
The uncured resin is also hazardous to the environment and needs to be disposed of properly. I found that the water washable resin cleaning water can be run thought a water filter (like ZeroWater with a 5 stage filter and water quality tester) to remove the resin from the water and once the filter is full (based on the water quality tester) you can just toss the filter in the garbage and put a new one in. More steps are needed for the IPA cleaner for regular resins. But please dispose of still liquid resins properly (I usually UV expose any paper towels and such before disposal).
Hi! I have been having a lot of problems with the photon workshop. When I rotate the object I don't know why it changes its scale slightly.!? This is crazy, I've already done several fail prints thinking everything was correct.
I had the same issue. I had to make my tablet a hot spot and use the WIFI file on the USB to make it connect to that. I could then control the printer via my tablet. Then I reset the WiFi on the printer, followed the steps in the tablet app to add the again printer, set the wifi info to use the router, and then it connected properly. Some people think the printer will always want the same IP address from your router and you can configure that, but i haven't needed too.
If you use the slicer app for AnyCubic it give you a fairly good estimate of how much resin you need for your print. I usually a a bit extra since you lose some to sticking to the plate and wet model itself.
How ridiculous is the heater? ITs 2024 and these resin printer companies cant figure out how to heat a vat of resin up. The new M7 Pro now has resin heater using a pump sounds great until you consider the moving parts, blockages and needing to replace the entire vat if it fails. How about just integrating a heater into the vat, simple and no moving parts!

Thank you for the tip! I had the drain plugged up so nothing went down. Resin is definitely a different beast compared to FDM.

Nice video, hope to see more resin vids soon
I just saw your short vid on the Photon M7 printing the Chinese Dog - Great. Question:
Is the M5 Pro as fast as the M7 Pro? Thanks
How do u know how much resin do u need to pour to the plate?
Can I use water washable resin too? Ty

Dip that in hot water for a few seconds and the supports will pop right off....super easy.
Good tip, I will try next time for sure!

A bit of a strange "review" seems more like a newbie
Yep
30 minutes curing, especially with a strong UV-light like that, is way too much. 2 - 3 minutes will do in a less bright Wash&Cure.
