6.08 inch mono LCD upgrade kit for Anycubic Photon

You can buy the kit for Photon S here, it takes more time to upgrade because of cable differences.
Why upgrade?
The original Anycubic Photon comes with the Sharp04 screen, which is 5.5 inches 2K RGB LCD, since 2018 there are Mono LCD coming out, and it is been widely used during 2019, Phrozen sonic Mini, Anycubic Photon mono series, and ELEGOO mars 2 series. we also write an article about RGB vs Mono, you can check here.
Now, most new resin 3d printers come with Mono screens, and even with 8K level resolutions.
In General, the Mono screen has 3 advantages compared with the RGB LCD.
Faster printing speed
The mono LCD has a better UV light transmittance, which means when you use the same resin, it takes less time to make it cure, and in the Chitubox setting, you will only need an exposure time of around 2.5s. In RGB LCD the exposure time is about 8s~12s. Each layer saves you a few seconds, if you are printing a large file, it is much faster.
More durable in lifespan
The mono LCD has a process optimization, which makes the screen can run in the long term under the UV light, it is suspected to work over 2,000 hours. and the RGB LCD can only work about 200 hours.
Better contrast ratio
The mono screen is designed for 3d printers, it also considers the usage of 3d printing technology, a better contrast ratio means you will get better details on the models, especially in sharpness.
For Anycubic Photon:
This kit comes with a Chitu L V2 that supports 6inch mono LCD.
You only need to follow our installation video.
Adjust the settings on CHITUBOX
The actual printing size will be bigger than 5.5 inches but not reach 6.08inch after modifying, please use this setting below.

Easy to follow instructions, especially if you read the comments on the youtube video about how to properly install the LCD.
When I upgraded, my motherboard fan stayed on all the time. Easy fix, kind of described on Chitu’s support page here:
https://support.chitusystems.com/en-US/docs/faq/gcode-parameters#mainboard-fan-control
Short story, simply save these parameters to a txt file with a .gcode extension (i.e., update.gcode) on a USB stick and print the file from your 3D printer. Fun shuts off and only comes one when printing.
–Start File–
M8030 T-2 ; 0: If set to 0, the default does not turn
; 1: 1:0 Once exposed, the fan 2 will turn, no exposure, the fan will stop LED
;-1:<0 keeps on
;-2: Open when the file is printed, closed when not printing
–End File–

the install was really fiddly, and it took me two goes to get the screen the right way up, but now its in and working it is great. Way faster, nice clean prints.
the only issue I have is that I use lychee slicer, and the build volume comes up wrong, it tries to print outside of the available are. maybe its the tape holding the screen down, i don’t know, but i get my images clipped. The option to add offset to the build volume shown in the instructions here is missing in lychee. Be nice if you guys could put a profile together for lychee that we can import where the resolution/pixel size and print area is correct

Good afternoon. Can you tell me if my coolers are constantly working. Is this how it should be?

I work in litchi and no problems. By the way, there is a photon monochrome profile in litchi, but it seems that you need to invert the axis

The photon was my first resin printer when it released 4 years ago. I had some fun, but it fell out of use due to slow curing and manual z homing tedium. Saw this kit on sale, thought it worth a shot. Got it in earlier today, no hiccups installing. Setup was easy with the sensorless homing. Honestly, the results on the first print are better than I expected. Not only did a print that would have taken ~7 hours finish in under 4, the results are comparable (not as good, but still crisp) to my Mono X 6k.
