Unpacking: Straight Out of the Box

Step 1: Open the box.
Step 2: Take the 3D printer out of the box. Place the 3D printer on a flat and stable surface.
Step 3: Remove the plastic foil from the printer.
Step 4: Remove the plastic case. Then remove the toolbox and the inner cushion.
Step 5: Please make sure to peel off the protective film on the LCD screen before printing with the Sonic Mini 8K.
What’s in the Toolbox?
The toolbox contains essential tools for setting up the Sonic Mini 8K as well as tools to maintain your device after you’ve finished printing.
*Important: Double-check to see whether everything is included in your toolbox. Make sure to understand how each tool is used before proceeding onto the next step.
User Manual
The user manual contains essential information for users to set up their Sonic Mini 8K. This includes the introduction of functions and capabilities of the device, keynotes before printing, and a step-by-step tutorial for setting up the LCD 3D printer.
After-Sales Service & Warranty Certificate
Please view our Warranty Certificate to find your 3D printer’s serial number, in case the 3D printer (or parts of the 3D printer) are found to be damaged or not functioning properly. We also provide you with a QR code to our 3D printing tutorials and Phrozen’s Warranty Policy.
Gloves
Please avoid direct contact with resin. This includes any part of your body or clothing. We suggest wearing PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as masks, goggles, and gloves while printing and using resin.
Scraper Set
The metal scraper is used for removing models from the building plate after printing. The plastic scraper is for cleaning the resin vat after printing or removing cured resin that is stuck on the FEP film or LCD screen.
*Important: DO NOT use the metal scraper to remove cured resin stuck on the FEP film.
Adapter
To start your device, you will need to connect the adapter to your Sonic Mini 8K.
Allen Wrench
The Allen wrench included in the toolbox is intended for unscrewing and tightening the building plate while performing the Z-axis Calibration test.
Plastic Funnel
The plastic funnel is used for filtering out the excess resin after printing. Simply place the plastic funnel on top of the resin bottle cap, then pour the resin back into the bottle.
USB
Sonic Mini 8K only supports USB drive file transfer. The USB is used to store your 3D printing file. Plug it into your LCD 3D printer and you’re good to go.

Hello Omed, Thank you for asking! Sonic Mini 8K comes with FEP film pre-installed. If you need to replace it with a nFEP film, here is the URL to the nFEP store page on our website. A4 sized one should be compatible with Sonic Mini 8K.
