[Practical Tutorial] Phrozen Mighty Full Tutorial: Printing is possible even for movable models!
Want movable joints to twist and turn as you please? Learn by watching the video, no need for the instruction manual! We've previously 3D printed Star Wars' "The Mandalorian" and "Baby Yoda," testing the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 3D printer 's results ( click to see ) . This time, we'll 3D print an eight-legged octopus with movable joints. See the complete Phrozen Sonic Mighty Chinese tutorial:

I. Z-axis correction (Video 00:19)
After unpacking the outer box, place the 3D printer on the platform, tear off the protective film, lift the full-coverage top cover, and take out the accessories, including a complete tool set such as connecting cables, spatulas, gloves, funnels, USB, etc.
1. Loosen the fixing screws
Remove the resin tank and loosen the screws securing the printing platform (the platform does not need to be removed).
2. Place the paper and start with one click.
Place a piece of paper on the LCD panel, and after clicking "Tool" > "Z Calib" on the touch screen, the printing platform will automatically descend until it is flush with the bottom of the LCD panel.
3. Tighten screws, lift platform
After completely flattening the bottom paper and LCD panel, tighten the four screws on the left and right sides of the platform again. Finally, click "Done" on the screen, and the platform will rise to the top again to complete the calibration.
(After confirming the above 3 steps and checking if the bottom LCD curing light is on, lock the resin tank and you can start printing.)
II. 3D Model Slicing (Video 01:09)
1. Select "Settings" to enter the settings page.
2. Click the "Add" icon to enter the device selection interface and find the specified 3D printer " Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K ".
3. Choose to use resin. ( Click here to download: Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K Resin Specifications )
4. After importing the 3D model file, click on the "Create Support" page, and then select the option to adjust the detailed parameters according to your preferences and printing needs.
5. After the data is set, dragging the right slider allows you to view and simulate the actual molding process. Before starting 3D printing, check whether each overhang of the model is fully supported.
Finally, select "Slice" to obtain the model slice file. After the software performs calculations, it will display detailed information, including the material resin type and printing time. Save the file to a USB drive (the file name must be .ctb), and then read it in the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K to start printing.
III. Equipment Operation (Video 02:42)
1. Pour in the resin .<br>Pour the resin into the resin tank and stir evenly with a spatula.
2. Cover the full-coverage outer cover
3. Upload File <br>Insert USB to upload 3D model file
4. Select File <br>Tap "3D Print" on the touchscreen, then select the file from the USB drive.
5. Start your assignment <br>Finally, click "GO" to begin 3D printing.
IV. Post-processing of finished products (Video 03:08)
After the photopolymer 3D printing is completed, the model surface will be covered with resin liquid. A UV curing lamp is used to cure the model and the model support structure is disassembled.
1. Disassemble the printing plate <br />Including the 3D printing model, disassemble the printing plate.
2. Remove the mold <br />Use a scraper to scrape the finished product off the platform
3. Clean the surface <br />Soak the model in alcohol to clean off any residual resin from the surface.
4. Curing Model <br />Uses a UV post-curing lamp to quickly cure 3D printed models.
