The Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K is a large‑format MSLA resin 3D‑printer designed for industrial users who require high throughput, dimensional stability, and consistent exposure performance across a wide build plate. Equipped with a 405 nm monochrome LCD and a reinforced Z‑axis system, the Mega 8K delivers reliable results for engineering prototypes, dental models, and production‑grade parts. For users working with multiple printers or resin families, all validated exposure parameters are consolidated in the Liqcreate parameter master file, including cross‑references to comparable 8K and 12K systems.
Liqcreate partners have extensively tested a wide range of engineering, dental, and general‑purpose resins on the Mega 8K to ensure predictable curing behavior and optimal surface quality. When specific resin settings are not yet available, a technically accurate starting point can be derived from the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K settings due to the similar optical engine and pixel architecture. Users transitioning to newer generation hardware or scaling production workflows can also refer to the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 12K settings for comparative exposure behavior and updated calibration strategies.
For applications requiring maximum accuracy, large‑batch consistency, or resin‑specific optimization, Liqcreate provides direct technical support to help fine‑tune exposure times, lift speeds, and curing profiles. Whether you are validating a new material, troubleshooting print behavior, or optimizing production throughput, our team is available to assist. Contact us if you need support, require custom parameters, or want to submit your own Mega 8K test results for inclusion in future updates.
Liqcreate Resin Parameters for the Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K
The table below lists the validated starting parameters for Liqcreate engineering, dental, and general‑purpose resins on the Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K, based on controlled exposure calibration and large‑format print testing.
| Resin | Layer thickness | Exposure time (seconds) | Base layer count | Base layer exposure | Lift Height | Lift speed / retract speed (mm/min) | Rest time in every step (seconds) |
| Bio-Med Clear | 100 µm | 7,5 | 4 | 25 | 6 | 45 / 90 | 2,0 |
| Premium White | 50 µm | 4,1 | 6 | 30 | 8 | 90 / 150 | 2,0 |
| Strong-X | 100 µm | 15,5 | 4 | 85 | 8 | 90 / 240 | 2,0 |
| Flexible-X* | 50 µm | 18 | 4 | 85 | 10 | 60 / 90 | 2,0 |
Note: Flexible and soft resins require at least heavy supports. All profiles used 6 transition layers, except otherwise noted.
About the Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K
The Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K is a large‑format MSLA resin printer with a 330 × 185 × 400 mm build volume and a 43 µm pixel pitch, combining industrial capacity with high‑detail surface reproduction. Its 15‑inch monochrome LCD and linear‑projection LED module provide uniform light distribution across the full platform for consistent curing.
This hardware configuration enables accurate reproduction of fine textures, sharp edges, and detailed surfaces on tall or wide prints. Phrozen’s 8K LCD technology reduces visible layer stepping, resulting in smoother, cleaner parts with minimal post‑processing. The Mega 8K is compatible with a wide range of 405 nm resins, making it suitable for professional and production‑scale workflows.

Comparison: Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K, Mega 8K V2 and Mega 8K S
The Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K, Mega 8K V2 and Mega 8K S share the same large‑format 330 × 185 mm build area, but differ in optical engine design, mechanical refinements and exposure behavior. The original Mega 8K uses a 15‑inch monochrome LCD with a linear‑projection LED array, while the Mega 8K V2 introduces improved light uniformity and updated firmware for more stable curing across wide surfaces. The Mega 8K S further refines the platform with a redesigned LED module, faster operation and updated motion components, resulting in more consistent layer transitions and reduced print artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mega 8K Resin Settings
1. Which Liqcreate resins are validated for use on the Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K? Multiple engineering, dental and general‑purpose Liqcreate resins have been tested on the Mega 8K. All validated exposure parameters are listed in the table above and in the Liqcreate parameter master file.
2. Can I use Mega 8K V2 or Mega 8K S settings on the original Mega 8K? Settings from the Mega 8K V2 and Mega 8K S are not directly interchangeable due to differences in light uniformity and LED modules. They can be used as a reference, but calibration is recommended.
3. What is the best starting point if my resin is not listed? For unlisted materials, the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K settings provide a reliable baseline because of the similar optical engine and pixel structure.
4. Why do large‑format printers require different exposure times? Wide build plates and large LCD panels can introduce variations in light distribution. This affects curing behavior, making printer‑specific calibration essential for consistent results.
5. How can I improve print consistency on tall or wide Mega 8K parts? Use stable lift speeds, ensure proper vat film tension, and verify exposure uniformity. For resin‑specific tuning, contact Liqcreate support.
