Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Running into a small issue. Printer has been acting up for a few weeks, thought I resolved it, then it did it again. Decided it was time to update the firmware. Downloaded the latest from Anycubic (4.2.19) and flashed it. Once I did though, the screen had lines running through it for the UV Test. Reflashed back to 4.2.3 and it's fine.

Everything I read online say's there should be 3 files: An LCD file, a BIN file and TXT file. The 4.2.19 only has the LCD and BIN; Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance, apologies if I'm being dumb!

Alright, I got my first real "issue" with my Photon. Apologies for the long write-up but I wanted to give an accurate account of events that have lead to here. I had a print fail last night, standard support issues from the looks of it. I cleaned the build plate, drained the resin to remove any stuck bits, refilled, started printing before I left for the day. Come home and it says my print finished but the build plate is still submerged. I lift the build plate out and there is this half-cured sheet of resin on the plate... Super weird. So I go to move the vat and it doesn't seem to be moving. I know not to yank it, so I twist and it comes out. Appears to be something on the base (May have gotten something on it after cleaning). Great, time for a DEEP clean. Build plate, drain all resin, bath in IPA, wipe EVERYTHING down with microfiber. Then I clean build screen as well. Put everything back. Run my print that failed through validator, fixed a few trouble spots, resave it. Run again... Notice I'm on layer 5 and I haven't heard the build plate move. Stop print. Go to lift plate... Doesn't move. Tap it a few more times, finally does. Do a UV test just incase: Bottom half of screen isn't displaying. Turn off and on; UV test is fine now and Z-Axis is responsive. Pull plate and clean off. Load the file into ChiTuBox, reorient the file and reslice. Start print again. Does the first layer, doesn't move for the second and the LCD touch screen stays dark and then the printer restarts. That was the last I touched it. Unsure of the best course of action now, as I've never had any WEIRD issues like this happen before, especially since I had so many happen at once. Looking for some advice on where would be the best place to start troubleshooting. Help me Vinicius Silva, your my only hope... But seriously, I'll take anyone's advice.

Quick Question: I've been noticing some of my medium supports haven't been connecting quite as strongly as I'm used to and this morning it jogged a memory of something I thought I read on here.

Is there currently an issue with ChiTuBox and medium supports generating incorrectly or something like that? I might be crazy and if so, I apologize.

Link to all my printer settings and such:

Apologies if my searching skills suck but a while back I saw someone post a print file for the Photon that will cause the build plate to move up and down to help mix your resin.... Or I think I did.

Anyone have a link to that? I'd love to get away from doing it manually haha

Does anyone have any experience with Elegoo Gray? Since the Anycubic Gray Resin has apparently enter the endangered species list, I've been looking to make a switch.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I need some help: I recently purchased a 500ml if Anycubic Grey resin off Amazon and the bottle is now empty. Now, I didn't think too much of this yesterday but as I began to think about it, it occurred to me that this bottle ran out MUCH faster than my Anycubic Green... So, because I keep every sliced model I have made, I loaded up the Photon File Validator and did some math. Adding everything up, I came out to 197.6ml used on the models I have printed.

Now I know this isn't an exact science but I call absolute foul that the math is THAT far off. I'm pretty sure I was sold a 500ml bottle of resin that only had 250ml in it...

What should I do? I know someone of you have direct lines to Anycubic: Should I reach out to them or should I contact Amazon?

Any advice is appreciated!

Quick question: How much resin can the vat hold at once? I have a print that's going to use 33.4ml of resin and I want to make sure it won't run out while I'm sleeping.

Quick question: When setting up the Resin settings in ChiTuBox, how in the world do I know what my "Resin Density" is for Anycubic Resin? I've checked the bottle but it doesn't say anything. On the Amazon listing, there is a "Solid Density" listed; Is that what I'm looking for?

Thanks!

Is ChiTuBox 1.3 safe to upgrade to at this point? I've been holding off because... well you just don't update your software unless you have to. Unfortunately I seem to have run into an issue with slicing crashing every single time I try with a model and I was curious if the new version might help.

Thanks!

I posted this on the 3D Printed Tabletop Group already, so apologies if you've already seen it:

Looking for assistance: I'm working on printing some larger models on my Anycubic Photon and I'm trying to figure out the best way to generate the holes. I know how to hollow the model and I know how to cut holes but I remember seeing someone post once that you can get the "hole" you cut out to generate as a separate "plug" so you can fill the hole after the fact.

Any advice is appreciated!
