One of my first "practical" prints. :D

Anycubic photon
Elegoo Black

Good morning everyone (or goodnight, depends on where you live^^)

I heard, that the only downside of the Photon S is the mainboard and software used. Has anyone tried to put the original Photon mainboard inside it? For the stepper it should matter and doesn´t it use the same screen as the Photon?

Is it normal, that the Elegoo Black resin has a bit translucent, green color to it? So it's not really that opaque...

Sooooo. I just nearly wrecked my machine...

I did the xp-resin-finder and did everything the instructions told me. First, started the test-mode.gcode and then the resin-test-50u.B100.2-20.photon. But when starting the print it didn´t stop at the bottom, I managed to stop the building arm (dismounted the build plate for a dry run, didn´t trust the test mode, because it was way faster than the normal mode...) around 0.5mm (so it would have crashed with the build plate long before that) before crashing into the resin vat.

What did I do wrong? Why didn´t the machine stop at the home position and then lower itself to the z=0 like normally? After this, I started the .photon file with print-mode.gcode enabled again and it worked like it should. Why is there a need for changing the modes? It printed 2s per "layer" Did I miss something?

In the FAQ it says, that the real off time is either 6.5 or 4.5 seconds. I measured mine and I only have 2.5 s if I set it to 1 s in the original slicer... Is this normal? Photon 5.5, FW is 4.2.3_LCD.0/1440x2560/F2.5, slicer is v1.3.6.

Hey guys. A good way to make the Photon light proof: Spray it with Mibenco liquid rubber. I did the top and side covers, since they don't have to pe transparent. 3 layers of this spray is opaque enough. And it only costs around 15$ a can which lasts for more than four printers. I also sprayed my 3D printed vat cover with it to make it really light proof. I hope someone finds this information useful :)

Update: Normally you can easily peel off the rubber. But it seems like the solvent attacks the PMMA and it won't come off easily... Nevertheless it looks good :)

Made an alternative knob for our printer.

I haven´t had time to print it yet, so I cannot guarantee anything :P But if anyone wants to try, be my guest, but please tell me if everything is the right size. :)
