Anycubic Photon M3 Plus
Comes with a PrusaSlicer project file that's meant to serve AS AN EXAMPLE
DO NOT USE THIS PROJECT FILE ON YOUR PRINTER as the custom gcode and printer settings are specifically meant for my custom printer, instead only use this as reference
You are free to sell prints of the files, but please do not resell the files themselves as I put in months of work in prototyping and testing
I recommend printing in PETG on a Textured PEI (I use Nozzle X at 240 hotend and 80 hotbed)
It is designed to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height
No refunds as these are digital files
