Hello fellow Photon people!
Finally caved in and got myself a Photon about a week and a half ago and as a scale modeller it's a fantastic tool to have! I'm printing 0.020 stuff virtually ready to go for 1/35 scale!
:D
I do however have one problem and that's when I print larger parts, like busts, twice the print bed has tilted backwards which has resulted in rather weird prints...
The first time it happened I printed a really large solid bust and I figured it was the weight that caused it, but it happened again last night with a much smaller bust?!
As an engineer and tinkerer of anything mechanical and machinable I know the limit of aluminium threads so I've tightened the print bed gimbal tight, but not to the point of causing fatigue. I've just had it apart to eye over all the parts in the print bed but everything seems fine and it should be proper contact on the whole sphere in the gimbal. (I basically checked for burrs or other defects that could make tightening problematic)
I've now tightened it as hard as I dare with aluminium and will try again but before I do I thought I'd ask here if this is a common problem or if it's just my printer that needs some tinkering?
I've got an idea using a thin rubber sheet in the gimbal to secure it better when tightening it, but that's more of a last resort since it can bring unwanted effects too, like way harder to level it...
Amazing what technology $385 gives you! I'm still really surprised every time I finish a print of some scale model details!!! This is more than I hoped for 10 years ago - and now I have it at a fraction of the money I spent back then!!!
Many thanks in advance!
