Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Hey guys and girls,

Just received my 2nd Photon and I noticed some differences compared to the first one.

The first one had the blue acrylics (replaced by red ones already). The 2nd one had the yellow acrylics.
Also the 2nd Photon had lots of z wobble, which I already eliminated by adjusted the lineair guide.
No issues so far.

During the first print I noticed a different behaviour in the in between layer movement. I believe this is due to other firmware, right?

But now onto the major issue.
Almost half the print was without noticable problems, but at a certain moment the Z rod didn't go up anymore, without any errors.
This is a known issue I believe, but is there any way to solve or avoid this?

Dudes and Dudettes, let me introduce to you.... my curing station ? ♨️ ? ? .

I've turned an Ikea cabinet of roughly 30x30x30cm into a curing station with a door.
The walls and floor are equipped with glass mirrors and I used a 30W UV 405nm LED floodlight.
Using a simple solar powered turntable, the prints can slowly turn around ?

Let me know what you think!

Well, since I got quite a big order for semi flexible parts, I ordered a bottle of Photocentric UV Flexible Black.
After reading many terrible reviews about this resin, I got a little worried.

Today I received the resin and tried my first print of the actual parts.
Luckily it turned out quite good actually! I really am positively surprised! ?

Below my finding and how I did it.

Resin came in, and after unpacking I did a quick sniff to see it smelled bad or not.
It's better than Anycubic, but more or less the same as Monocure Rapid to be honest.

As I read somewhere dark coloured resins need to be shook well, I shook the sh*t out of it ? .

I fired up Anycubic Photon Slicer and loaded 4 of the parts onto the virtual build plate.

After that I searched for the settings reported in this FB group and decided to give it a try with:
LT: 0,04 - NET: 20s - OT: 1,5s - BET: 60s - BL: 8

Slicing took a while and once done it said it would take up to 3,5 hours more or less.

Print started and when I got back home, the display said it was finished in 4 hours and some minutes. Not to bad at all.

And now the most nerve wreking part....how did the prints turn out... ?
Did a quick peek and I say the actual shapes as I loaded up!

Took off the build plate, put it straight in my ultrasonic cleaner with IPA and let if run for 2 minutes.
Then I took my Stanley knife and tried to take the prints off the build plate....Man, damn, these things are stuck...seriously, how?
I barely got them off without damaging them. With normal resin, just a pinch is enough to take them off.

Anyhow, afterwards I threw the prints back into the ultrasonic cleaner with IPA and let it run for 3 minutes.

Since I only have a nail curing UV station I put it there for 4x60s to get rid of the stickiness.
They still feel a little tacky, but not that much I believe. It feels 'rubbery' and it's quite flexible indeed.

All in all I'm really surprised about the result, in a positive way.
Indeed, it's a slow resin, but until now it seems to work.

Tomorrow I will test them on strength, but for now, I'm happy with the result.
