Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Hello Team,

i need your help or advices.... Is my LCD dying ?

I had my photon since 4 months and it did incredible nice prints.

But my latests 10 to 15 prints has got some failures and i did not find the trick.

It started maybe 10 days ago but I did not change anything to my normal process.

I have some glued resin or shade in my print maybe a "Ghost in the VAT" and finally residual bad resin in it at the end.

The fact is than some prints are incomplete and I need to clean up the VAT each print.

I did the following :

- FW 4.2.19 for frame shearing with or without AA > Same issue and known bug for Fan too noisy.

- FW 4.2.18 > Same issue

- Lastest EPAX FW 4218 > Same issue (for me, it's the best FW at the moment for my hears)

- Replace FEP by a new one even if it was a proper one > Same issue

- Tried 3 differents resin and shake shake shake the bottle > Same issue

- Level bed again > Same issue

To be honest, i don't know what happend. I have no experience with this foggy issue but actually, it costed me lot of time, 2 FEP and at least 500ml of resin.

Can you give me your opinion ? Should I open the box and look for a new LCD ? Does Anycubic can help on this ?

Thank you :)

Hello Makers :)

New project "Treebeard" ongoing with FDM printers (More than 200h for 55 cm) and i can't wait to end it so...Anycubic Clear Resin and 21h later... Photon did a little one :)

Photon is 5 weeks old and less than 3L eat, i'm still impressed by this little Printer.

I'm full size on Photon lol... 70ml volume for 0.025 layer size.

To be honest, i did several test at 0.02 > 0.04 > 0.05 and i can't find difference lol

Sharing some photos after printing > Curing by Sun > Primer.

FDM should end all parts this evening... It's fun and would like to share this :)

Have Fun !

Hello Makers :)
Something different than my Trolls, Gnomes, Fairies and all lovely bestuary lol...

Used sketchfab to find free model > Online Converter FBX to OBJ > Chitubox (10cm long + 12s Expo) (Anycubic Yellow)

It's really fun to do ! I destroyed some details during clearing but it's so cool :)

Classic Photon4Ever (or at least for the moment !)

Have Fun,

Hello Makers,

Few weeks with the Photon Classic and still learning... Not all perfect, few failed but still happy ;)

I tried the Anycubic Yellow Clear resin and I wonder if after cleaning and cured there is a way to have the glossy effect (bright / translucent) back ?

I mean to retrieve the same texture on the model when it's just printed :)

Anyway, they will be primer/paint but... when it's printed, it's so cute !

Merci !

Hello Makers :)
I don't remember who posted a short video yesterday about "wash in hot water before curing" but it worked fine for me.
Supports are like smooth or soluble after 5 minutes in hot water. If he read me > Merci :)

Few prints of the day, really happy and still learning.... Hey, i changed my first FEP without trouble !! The most difficult was to find a cap lol.
Anycubic Skin : 0.04 / 8 bottom / 10s Expo / 80s Base / 1s / 0s.

I find how to use my FDM for Photon usage.... ;)
Have Fun !

"Paint it, Black" by Vallejo Surface Primer 74.602 ;)
Photon is really funny 3D printer machine and the community is very open & helpfull.
Some models at the end are failed (cape & shield) but they will be a good start for painting.
Have a good weekend Makers.

<> One Week as Noob <>
Hello Makers !
I received my photon last saturday and i'm very satisfied with this Printer.
.
As first, I need to check Chitubox and find a good setting for my Anycubic Skin Resin.
> 0.05 / 8 layers / 10s Expo / 65s Base / 1 Extinction
> 0.035 / 10 layers / 14s Expo / 80s Base / 1 Extinction
.
I did the leveling only few time and it was quite easy.
.
My process is the following :
> Chitubox + Object : If a big one > Heavy Support / If reasonable object > Middle Support.
I enforced the support to be stronger and hollow the part all the time.
> After print > Cleaning with IPA and Denaturated Alcohol (cheaper and working fine). I bought a cheap ultrasonic cleaner and put the part for 6 to 12 minutes in a proper IPA bath.
> Cut Support before cure the object... more easier.
> Dry the print with Aerograph !
> Cured by Sun in metallic little box.
.
So, i did not consumme a litter of resin for the moment but it should be done in few hours lol.
A bad experience was cleaning supports of a cured object and a spot directly comes to my eye... A very bad moment... But after washing it with special water, the little resin spot went out without damage.
So, I will never never never... remove support without Glasses. Please take care.
.
Additionnal cost :
- Ultrasonic Cleaner 30€
- Nails UV system 20€
- Denatured Alcool 2€ / Liter
- Protection glasses 10€
- Patreon addicted... 10€ x2
.
A good surprise was the ring stuff with resin. They look really cool and i need to learn how to paint them and how to apply a paint who can be on skin contact an entire day.
.
I would say than Printing Resin is not the same than FDM systems but if HELL is on Earth, he should be incarned in a Support !!
Supports are a pain in FDM World and Supports are a pain for Resin lol... I should improve this :)
So, i'm still a noob... I think my next step in FEP replacement but for the moment... Need to find Clear resin to try.
.
Have Fun :)

Photon Newbie since 24H !

Hello Makers :)
I would share my first experience with my Photon arrived yesterday morning.

Just to introduce myself, having 2 FDM printers and playing since 2 years. My Hobby is figurine and tabletop.

So... My choice was on Photon and not Photon S because of the long experience YOU have here and different existing software and price is low (and for the difference, i can have more resin bootleS)

Photon arrived in V4.2.3_LCD.0/F2.5 and i upgraded it to V4.2.17_LCD/F2.7 immediatly lol.
Ajusting Z Offset more easier than on FDM... (Except my Delta with AutoLevel :P )

1st Print:
I used the ChiTuBox with AA 8X and put a part + AutoSupport > Skin Anycubic Resin => Disaster... In fact, I did not take care of settings in slicer.

2nd Print:
Listen yours voices and just print the sample Cube => Wooh !! Really cool :) (Even if not crystal clear)

3rd Print and up to now:
Using the spreadsheets > Set better settings for Skin color > Printed a Ring and after 2 tabletop

Now: Tried to print the Orc but something went wrong with support.
Would be happy if you can put a link for better settings or How-To regarding Supports.

So... I'm in south of France and we have lot of Sun except today lol.... so, my prints remain soft for the moment and i ordered a little UV lamp in case of.
I read a lot on this group and thank you so much for sharing Good & Bad issue to permit me to learn.
I was really surprised when i can listen to the "Ploc" sound when bed is moving Up&Down but i read than it's a good sound for DLP.

Sharing some pics... Happy to be here.
This Photon is an incredible printer.
I would recommend it to start Resin at reasonnable cost & for the big family you are.

Have Fun !
