Hello everyone! Need some help)

Photon S here. I have some weird artifacts at all of my prints , printed at 20um layer height lately.

Those doesn't look like layer offset - more like overexposure at few layers. Does anyone have idea what can cause it? I've changed motor with lead screw and nothing changed - still have those lines, although annoying backlash went away and surface is better overall.

My thoughts are - this is look like wrong height at certain layers set by slicer and printer overexposure some layers and some layers are underexposure - which cause those irregularities. It doesn't look like wobbling too... Or is it?

UPDATE: Situation is solved, Thanks to Anycubic for providing a solution!

Anycubic have contacted me and offered 2 options which were:

1) full refund or 2) to send me a new Photon with prolonged 6 month warranty.

I am very happy that i didn't mistaken with brand!

Hello everyone.

So i was hoped that Anycunic will resolve my problem or at least find a compromise but seems that i had too high hopes for them.

Situation: my Photon worked for almost 5 months fine, but closer to November i encountered random restarts during print and soon enough my Z-axis driver was dead. I contacted support 1st November. At 7th of November they've sent me spare motherboard. I thought that problem with my MB so i was glad.

Well - no. Situation was not resolved and Z axis died really fast this time, so at 4th of March i was already speaking with Anycubic support. Asking them to help with restarts problem, they have told that we need working motherboard first. I told them that new motherboard is not a solution to restart problem. Another 20 days of delivery - another motherboard and no luck - restarts are still there.

Since than every day i communicate with Anycubic, tested all of methods they offered. Insulated it everywhere i could, tried different firmwares, switching USB sticks, tried different power DC. No luck at all. At this point, from 10 months i own this printer 5 months it doesn't work, and anycubic did not responce to warranty prolongation.

I want to send them printer and take a refund , but they keep telling me that no way they could do that. I wasted lot of resin, alcohol, other consumables on cleanup after fails, changed FEP films cause too many fails and assembling / disassembling printer.

Anycubic is willing to change my LCD display to "solve" this issue. I can't see how it will help, but anyway soon my warranty will end , and waiting for another 20 days of shipping and not be sure it will resolve my problem is really bad.

I also tried all known community methods such as increasing Vref etc... Still same restarts...

Situation is also complicated as support is answering maximum 1 time per day.

I don't know what i can do and what i should in this situation.
Printer was bought at AliExpress.

Dry prints goes well all the time, but as soon as i set VAT with filled resin ( doesn't matter which one - tried anycubic green also), printer fails at random place. Here are videos i have:

Current printer status ( aka monster of Franckenstein printer):

That NOT how user product should like!

Any suggestions is appreciated!
