Who Is This Upgrade Kit For?
This upgrade kit is designed for users who want to upgrade an Anycubic Photon S from its original RGB LCD to a monochrome LCD system.
The original Anycubic Photon S uses a 5.5-inch 2K RGB LCD. This upgrade replaces the original display system with a 6.08-inch 2K monochrome LCD and a compatible ChiTu L V2 motherboard.
Why Upgrade Anycubic Photon S to a Mono LCD?
Compared with the original RGB LCD, a monochrome LCD is designed specifically for resin 3D printing and provides higher UV light transmittance.
According to the original product information, the mono LCD upgrade provides three main advantages: faster printing speed, longer expected screen lifespan, and better contrast.
Faster Printing Speed
The mono LCD has better UV light transmittance than the original RGB LCD. According to the original product information, when using the same resin, the exposure time in CHITUBOX can be around 2.5 seconds, while the RGB LCD exposure time is approximately 8–12 seconds.
Longer Expected Screen Lifespan
The original product information states that the mono LCD is optimized for long-term operation under UV light and is expected to work for over 2,000 hours, compared with approximately 200 hours for the original RGB LCD.
Better Contrast
The mono screen is designed specifically for 3D printing. Its improved contrast ratio can help produce better model details, especially in terms of sharpness.
For Anycubic Photon S
This upgrade kit comes with a ChiTu L V2 motherboard that supports the 6-inch monochrome LCD.
Follow the installation video and instructions to complete the upgrade.
Firmware Information
If you purchase the complete Anycubic Photon S Mono LCD Upgrade Kit, the V2 motherboard is shipped with the appropriate firmware. No firmware update is required for the complete kit.
If you previously purchased this upgrade kit and are only replacing the screen with the new screen version, a firmware update may be required.
Firmware for the new screen version:

Anycubic Photon S Mono LCD Upgrade Installation
Please watch the installation video before installing the Anycubic Photon S Mono LCD Upgrade Kit.
Adjust CHITUBOX Settings After the Upgrade
After upgrading the Anycubic Photon S with this kit, you can use the Mars 2 Pro settings or add the default printer directly in CHITUBOX.
The V2 motherboard can recognize the .ctb file format. The original Photon S uses the .photon file format, which will not be read by the V2 motherboard.
The motherboard supplied with the complete kit comes with the appropriate firmware, so no firmware update is required for the complete kit.
Important Printing Size Information
After the modification, the actual printing size will be larger than the original 5.5-inch area but will not reach the full 6.08-inch screen size. Please use the recommended CHITUBOX settings shown above.
Z-Axis Direction Adjustment
If the Z-axis direction is incorrect after the upgrade, you can edit the M8004 parameter to correct the direction.
Alternatively, you can print the parameter file provided for this upgrade.
Can This Kit Work for Anycubic Photon?
The original product information states that the Anycubic Photon is easier to upgrade and uses a separate mono LCD upgrade kit.
This product is specifically designed for the Anycubic Photon S. If you have the original Anycubic Photon, please use the dedicated Photon upgrade kit instead.
