Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

After a month of owning the photon, and spending that time not being able to to print, I've decided to return it and go for a different printer altogether.

Thank you to those who offered their help.

After two weeks of no prints and troubleshooting hardware issues, I am going to try to replace the power adapter (for the second time) and see if it fixes the problem. If not, I am considering just returning the printer and getting the Elegoo Mars instead.

Convinced me otherwise.

Per suggestion to fix my reboot problem, I ordered a new power adapter. The one on the left is the original. As you can see, they are not the same despite both being 5.5x2.1mm.

Can I get an adapter for the plug? I'd rather not cut and solder it. I'm asking because the new one doesn't fit.

Ok, guys... My saga of failed printer continues =(

Still having the reboot problem...

I previously posted about my printer getting to the first layer, then rebooting. I was told to first try updating the firmware so I did just that. The firmware that I put on was:

V4.2.5_LCD.0/1440x2560/F2.6 (System: Photon 5.5)

I releveled (paper method), then decided to try to dry print the STL that it failed on. It ran through the motions perfectly.

Today, I decided to try to print the same STL (only thing I modified is the supports and base exposure time after doing some education on those topics).

The print got to the first layer, beeped twice, then did the first layer again. It did this for maybe three attempts (try a layer, beep twice, repeat) when the printer shut off and turned back on again.

I left the machine on, in that state, while I removed the build plate and vat for cleaning. During my cleaning, the printer rebooted yet again (it had been sitting idle the whole time).

What do I do next? I'm not really enjoying my experience, so far =/

Ok. I have had this printer for less than a week. I've only been able to print the test cube once. Other models all fail to support or just sticking to the FEP.

I've paper method leveled. I don't overfill the vat. I've searched photonster and watched vids on how to do supports. I use a different USB stick than what it came with. I'm excited because I feel like I learned something...

Today, I get as far as the first layer and the printer turns off and then reboots...

I did a search on this and it sounds like it I will more than likely be replacing parts at random (USB and motherboard) after tearing it apart to check voltages. Is this normal for owning this guy?

Just to rub it in, the one layer that printed was stuck to the bottom of the vat. ?

What do I do now?

Update:
Ok. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest version. I releveled and decided to try the print which the printer died on. I'm running the print dry, to test, and it is currently at 13%. I'm not sure if I should stop it (since it's obviously not going to print anything) or if I should let it run to see if it run through completely.

Welp. The test print is the only thing that worked. I'm now trying to get a model from thingaverse to print and I'm not having much luck.

I think I'm at the point where I need to learn how to properly create supports. (yes, it's leveled, FEP happy, etc).

I'm still new to this so I'm having fun learning.

I will be getting my photon this weekend and I'm looking forward to getting started. However, I live in an apartment so I know I'm going to have issues with exhaust and such. I live in an area where rain, heat, and humidity are common, so just opening a window may not work.

I'm sure someone else in the group has solved this problem. I've been looking at air purifiers but I'm not sure which would work best (I don't want to break the bank on it either).

What do you apartment folks do?
