Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

I wanted to post one of my succesful prints instead of just asking for advice so i give you my lil' beholder over here. Isn't he adorable? ^_^

P.S. fully painted model coming soon, as soon as i'm done with it. you can make out the legs in the background. Cookie points if you can figure out what it is.

Hey everyone. Have you seen the following before?

Today i tried my first attempt at a larger model, used Chitubox to hollow it, generate supports and slice it, then hit print in my photon

A few hours later i checked in to see the partly built model had fallen into the vat. An examination of the build plate revealed that the bottom supports had torn off. Some of them had broken off at the top, others had broken halfway through.

Do you know what might have caused this and how i can avoid this in the future? I'm suspecting that maybe my supports were too thin. Would setting them thicker yield better results? Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

Hey everyone, complete newb here. I think i messed something up on my new Photon, and i'm here to ask for advice as to why it happened.
So i installed the printer, calibrated it, printed out the test cube. everything hunky dory. I then go for my first real print, a miniature figurine with supports. It appears to work for the first part of the process, then about half way i see that instead of the outline of the model you're starting to get one solid gooped together block (see pics). I stop the print, empty the tray, and i see that resin had dried up and massed together on the FEP film as seen below.

Is this because I didn't drain and clean the printer after printing the initial cube? am i supposed to do this after each single print? Or is it because the print plate is pressing down too hard?

Please let me know, i would like to avoid wasting resin, and hopefully the printer's not damaged.

Thank you kindly.
