Platinum Cure Cast print and bake tips
Before you print
- Settings assume supported prints. With supports, keep the burn in exposure at or under 15 to 20 s.
- If you print directly on the build plate, use a short burn in of about 3 s for 5 layers with 5 transition layers.
Orientation
- Print parts at an angle. Large flat areas facing the plate can cup and leave defects.
- Clear resin can close small holes, most of all holes that run along the Z axis. Orient parts so critical holes do not run straight up.
- Very small columns are hard to hold. If they fail, slow the lift speed, add a short rest and raise the exposure a little.
- Take care with thin walls, which can distort.
Post processing (required)
- Wash thoroughly in IPA.
- Let the part dry completely, overnight or with compressed air and about 3 hours of drying. Parts that are still wet can show surface problems.
- UV cure for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 60 to 80 minutes in a dedicated oven or air fryer, never a kitchen oven used for food.
The bake is what lets platinum silicone cure against the printed part. Without it the silicone will stay uncured where it touches the print.
Limits
- Made for open molds used with platinum cure silicone.
- Not recommended for closed or injected molds. In testing, injected silicone stayed uncured even after repeated cure cycles.

Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro resin settings FAQ
What exposure should I use for 3DRS HERO HD on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro?
At 50 microns, start HERO HD Medium Grey at 2.8 s, Light Grey at 3.0 s and Pearl White at 3.4 s. Adjust 0.1 to 0.2 s as needed after a calibration print.
How many burn in layers should I use on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro?
For HERO HD Medium Grey at 50 microns, use 6 burn in layers at 23.4 s, followed by 4 transition layers.
What lift and retract settings work on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro?
For normal layers, lift 5 mm at 120 mm/min, then 3 mm at 180 mm/min, and retract at 180 mm/min, slowing to 240 mm/min near the vat. The lift and retract settings above list burn in values too.
What about RPG and Standard HD on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro?
At 50 microns, start RPG Medium Grey at 3.7 s, Standard HD Dark Cool Grey at 6.5 s and Standard HD Flat Grey at 4.1 s.
What settings should I use for Platinum Cure Cast on the Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro?
At 50 microns, start Platinum Cure Cast Clear at 4.5 s with 5 burn in layers at 18 s. These are starting values based on customer reports and similar clear resin data, so run an exposure test first. After printing, wash in IPA, dry fully, UV cure for 10 to 20 minutes and bake at 275°F (135°C) for 60 to 80 minutes before casting platinum silicone.
