Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

So I see people post their printing cabinets and enclosures all the time, so I thought I would share mine. I just put this together yesterday.

I took an old entertainment center, the kind that were made for big screen CRT TVs with the closing doors on the front, and made it into my printing cabinet.

First I cut out an exhaust vent on the side near the top, then I closed up the big hole in the back that was originally intended for the back of the CRT to stick through for so it wouldn't overheat. I left a slot about 2 inches wide open across the bottom for cords and for air to vent in.

Next I ordered this fan/filter combo from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/…/B01MSEVQ3J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_ti… ) and with a little hardware from Home Depot I mounted it to the top inside the cabinet.

Finally I hung a power strip in the back of the cabinet and put my printers in it. Now there is zero noticeable odor when I am printing with the doors closed, and it keeps it nicely temperature controlled. Even my wife, who has a super-sniffer, can't smell it.

I keep the cabinet in my office and it's quiet enough that even with the fan on high I can be on a conference call for work and no one can tell. It makes less overall noise than my central air or a box fan. I am super pleased with it. Now, let the printing commence!!

Oh, I forgot to mention, when I have the Photon door fully open there is just a couple of inches clearance from the bottom of the fan/canister, but it opens all the way without issue.

Hi all. I use 99% IPA to clean my prints. After about 3-4 prints my alcohol bath is starting to look more like skim milk. I have a tried a couple of different filters to try to get the cloudiness out of the alcohol but so far no luck. Do you all use an alcohol bath for your prints? Is there a way to get the silt out of the alcohol so it's not so cloudy, or should I just dump it and start over?

Hey everyone. I recently purchased this clear resin ( https://smile.amazon.com/…/B0…/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 ) but I have been hving trouble getting the print settings dialed in.

I have had 3 prints so far and all 3 have failed the same way. The raft will print on the bed fine, but when it starts to print the supports they fail and the rest of the print sticks to the FEP. When I say it fails at the supports I don't mean the supports print and the piece doesn't stick to them, I mean the supports fail to print all together. Sorry for not posting a picture, I thought about it after I threw them away.

Attached are screen shots of the prints I am trying to make as well as my supports and print settings. The zero has been checked and rechecked, the FEP is clean and clear. I think I have something off with my print settings. If anyone can point out anything I am overlooking, please let me know.

Hi folks. I have had a few days to play with my new printer and now I have come up with some questions.

1) What kind of cleaner/concentration of ethanol alcohol do you use to clean your build plate and vat?

2) I primarily use my printer to print miniatures for my D&D group. These are, on average, about 25-35mm tall and about half as wide. Sometimes when I try to build multiple of the same model at the same time some work and some fail. Sometimes I will get one or two that print fine, and then I will have others in the same batch that stick to the FEP film. For instance, I tried to print 6 of the same model just now. The 3 in the back row all printed fine, but the 3 in the front row all failed. What are some of the common causes of this? I have cleaned the FEP film and the build plate with 91% alcohol (all that was available at walmart) and I have re-zeroed the build plate as well.

3) Is there a rule of thumb as to how much space should be between models when you print multiples of the same thing? I would assume that since the image is coming directly from under the build plate the space between models isn't as critical, but I am also a noob and could be wrong.

4) How often do you have to replace the FEP film? I have already developed a wrinkle in the front right section of my film and am going to have to replace it. I attribute this to the number of failed prints that have been sticking to the film rather than the build plate, and in turn I have to go in and try to carefully scrape them off. What kind/brand of replacement film do you all recommend?

Hi everyone. I got my Photon today and did my first print. I am happy with the unit so far, but the slicing software it comes with leaves a lot to be desired. I am curious, what do you all use to slice your prints? I use Cura for my filament printing, but it doesn't look like Cura works for the Photon.
