Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Totally at wits end with my Photon S tonight having wasted at least 30 hours trying to sort it out now, and no further forward.

Tech support in China sent me a new mainboard and I installed that this afternoon. STILL can't print anything (except the unaltered sample 'PHOTONS' lattice box shape). Had a handful of encouraging successful prints in the first few days using Anycubic green and then Elegoo grey but now the best I can get is a sort of very thin ghost shape of the print, stuck to the FEP, not the build plate!

Not been able to print anything for a couple of weeks while waiting for the repl mainboard and that seems to have been a total waste of time. What's really puzzling me is the machine fails to read sliced files, (even most of the ones I printed successfully in the first few days I had it) it just freezes when I press print ('>') and I have to switch off and on again. When files are reopened in Photon-Workshop there is no main image there except the settings and slice images.

AND secondly the few files it will print won't build properly in the vat Have I actually got two problems here, something wrong with the slicing software AND something wrong with the printer screen? Is there a series of tests I can go through logically to pin down what's wrong? Or is the whole thing a dud that needs sending back to Amazon? It's a bit expensive to just chuck it in a skip but that's about where I am with it (and've been 3D FDM printing for nearly 10 years so clearly a total failure with this technology)...

I raised a ticket with Anycubic support about the problem of '.photons' files not being read by the printer, it just freezes. I had a reply after two days asking me to send photos or video, which I can, for what they're worth, but there seems to be no way of responding, nothing to click to reply, no email address! I'm obviously being really stupid, but how do you respond to an Anycubic support ticket reply??!!??. Raise a new ticket?? Or what?

New newbie problem hit me now, can't seem to slice and create any .photons files. Opening stl files in Photon Workshop and slicing them okay, then save, but the Photon S printer just won't print them. They appear on the screen but when I click on one and press ">" the machine just freezes, can't even go back to the 'print' menu and have to switch the whole thing off. Is this a problem with the printer or with Photon Workshop as it worked the first few times? Even the simplest stls don't work and when I try to open the .photons file again in Workshop the model has vanished. Arrgh! Using good replacement memory sticks already so unlikely to be that. Have downloaded Chitubox but will using that overcome the problem and does it do photons files? Anyone had same problem? Been unable to print anything for 4 days, v frustrating! ☹️ ☹️ ☹️

Two newbie problems from a brand new Photon S user (kit all arrived on Friday). What am I doing wrong?
Pic 1. printing in Anycubic green resin, these model rail wagon sides are seriously warped and one has a hard white film on much of the surface. These were printed with default supports and initially seemed okay, until a few hours after curing in a UV nail curing device. Tried flattening them under weights but no success. Shown at the top is a perfect prime gray print from the same file from imaterialise.
Pics 2-6: an almost total failure on first using Elegoo grey resin, a smaller model with bespoke supports, but chunks are missing or distorted and lots of areas, incl the build plate, were covered with a thin slimy film of part cured resin. There were no chunks of resin left in the vat so nothing had broken off mid-print.
I've got a few great but very basic prints in Anycubic green to work direct on the build plate. But trying to print my more complex models (that I've had great success with through Shapeways and imaterialise over 5 years experience) has been 100% failure so far ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ . Happy to experiment with different settings, etc, but some clues from the experts, please!?
