Recommended starter settings for Lychee Slicer / Chitubox.

Please note
I make NO guarantee that these settings will work on every printer with every resin. The following settings are just a good starting point.
Also, I recommend starting with a standard resin. I have listed a few options in the kit link above. You can of course use a Tough or ABS-like resin, but these can be a bit tricky sometimes. For

Please note
These settings apply to monochrome screen printers. If your printer has an RGB screen, use
Exposure time / exposure time below: 50s
Exposure time: 7s
All other settings should be identical to the following.

Please note
In Chitubox, change /"Wait mode during printing/" to /"Light-off delay/".
For regular size monochrome screen resin printers such as Elegoo Mars 2, Sonic Mini, Anycubic Photon Mono, etc., use the following settings.

Lychee left / Chitubox right
Below/Burn in layers,
Number of layers: 4
Exposure time / exposure time below: 30s
Number of transition layers: 0
Light-off delay / sub-light-off delay: 4 s
Lifting distance / Lower lifting distance: 4mm
Lifting speed / lower lifting speed: 40 mm

Normal levels,
Layer thickness / layer height: 0.05mm
Light-off delay: 2 s
Exposure time: 3s
Stroke distance 4mm

Speed,
Lifting speed / lifting speed: 60mm
Retraction speed: 100 mm

For medium sized resin printers like Anycubic Mono X, Sonic Mighty, Elegoo Saturn, etc., use the following settings.
Lychee left / Chitubox right
Below/Burn in layers,
Number of layers: 5
Exposure time / exposure time below: 35s
Number of transition layers: 0
Light-off delay / sub-light-off delay: 6 s
Lifting distance / Lower lifting distance: 8mm
Lifting speed / lower lifting speed: 40 mm

Normal levels,
Layer thickness / layer height: 0.05 mm
Light-off delay: 4 s
Exposure time: 3.5 s
Stroke distance 8mm

Speed,
Lifting speed / lifting speed: 60mm
Retraction speed: 100 mm
