Exposure Settings for the Anycubic Photon P1
Find exposure times for Liqcreate resins on the Anycubic Photon P1 resin printer in the table below. When there are no settings, please contact info@liqcreate.com for assistance.
| Resin | Layer thickness | Exposure time (seconds) | Base layer count | Base layer exposure | Lift Height (mm) | Lift speed / retract speed (mm/min) | Wait time per step |
| Flexible-X | 100 µm | 10,0 | 3 | 70 | 10 | 60 / 120 | 2,0 |
| 50 µm | n/a |
What’s New Compared to Previous Anycubic Models
- – Higher resolution in a small footprint.
- – Improved light uniformity, reducing cure gradients across the build plate.
- – Faster exposure cycles, enabling rapid prototyping and batch production.
- – More rigid Z‑axis, improving surface quality on tall or thin structures.
- – Refined vat and film design, reducing peel forces and improving print success rates.
These upgrades make the Photon P1 a strong candidate for users who need both speed and accuracy—especially in professional environments where throughput matters. Additionally this makes the printer better suitable for difficult to print elastic and high viscous resins!
The Photon P1’s high‑power light engine allows exposure times as low as 1–1.5 seconds per layer for fast‑curing materials. Combined with optimized lift speeds, the printer can achieve up to 130 mm/h, making it suitable for:
- – Dental models and aligner workflows
- – Jewelry casting patterns
- – Engineering prototypes
- – Small‑batch production
Surface Quality
The 9K LCD provides crisp detail reproduction, especially on:
- – Micro‑features
- – Engravings and embossed text
- – Dental anatomy
- – Jewelry filigree
The improved Z‑axis stability reduces layer lines and waviness, even on tall prints.
Reliability
The Photon P1’s vat design and FEP/ACF film tensioning system help minimize suction forces, improving print success rates with:
- – Flexible resins
- – High‑viscosity engineering resins
- – Large, flat‑bottomed models
This makes it a robust platform for Liqcreate’s resin portfolio.
Using Liqcreate Resins on the Anycubic Photon P1
Liqcreate resins are widely used on Anycubic systems due to their predictable curing behavior, excellent mechanical properties and compatibility with 405 nm LCD printers. The Photon P1’s strong light output and fast cycle times make it particularly well‑suited for almost all Liqcreate resins, think about:
Dental Resins
- – Liqcreate Dental Model Pro Beige / Gray Ideal for precisiou models for restorative and implant workflows.
- – Liqcreate Gingiva Mask Flexible gingiva simulation for implant models.
- – Liqcreate Premium Model Fast printing material for aligner models and simple cases.
Jewelry Resins
- – Liqcreate Wax Castable Smooth burnout and crisp detail for investment casting in jewelry, dental, art and engineering applications.
Engineering Resins
- – Liqcreate Strong‑X High‑strength parts for functional testing.
- – Liqcreate Tough‑X Impact‑resistant prototypes and housings.
- – Liqcreate Flexible‑X Elastomeric components with excellent tear resistance.
And many other Liqcreate resins. Contact us if you have any questions or when you need help with settings for Liqcreate resin with the Anycubic Photon P1 resin 3D-printer or other resin based 3D-printers.
