Anycubic 3D Printer Resin Tank Error: How to Fix It

Q: How often should I replace the FEP film on my Anycubic resin printer?

FEP film should be replaced every 15-20 prints on average, or sooner if you notice cloudiness, scratches, or difficulty removing prints. Heavy use or failed prints can reduce this lifespan.

Q: Can I continue printing with a small puncture in the FEP film?

No, even small punctures will cause resin to leak into the LCD screen area, potentially damaging the expensive LCD panel and internal components. Always replace damaged FEP film immediately.

Q: What type of resin can I use in my Anycubic printer tank?

Use only 405nm UV-curing resins compatible with LCD printers. Anycubic brand resins are recommended, but most standard photopolymer resins will work. Always check viscosity and cure time specifications.

Q: Why does my resin tank keep showing errors after cleaning?

Persistent errors may indicate damage to tank sensors, improper seating of the tank, residual cured resin particles, or internal printer issues. Check tank alignment and consider contacting technical support.

Q: How do I properly dispose of waste resin and cleaning materials?

Cure liquid resin waste under UV light until solid, then dispose as plastic waste. Used IPA with dissolved resin should be treated as hazardous waste. Never pour uncured resin down drains.

Abstract

The Anycubic resin tank error occurs when your LCD resin 3D printer detects a punctured FEP film or critically low resin levels in the vat. This error prevents printing and requires immediate attention to avoid damaging your printer or wasting resin.
