Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Hey all, was wondering what your recommendations for testing tolerances (how well stuff fits together) with your Photon's? I've seen a few of them on thingiverse but they all look like they were designed with FDM printers in mind.

Reason for the question is I started to print the "Seven the Articulated Dragon" model on my photon and I'm having a lot of trouble with the parts fitting together, they're too tight so it feels like I'd be breaking them while trying to snap them together, and it was designed with a tolerance of about 50 microns in mind.

First failed print tonight... Well technically the print is amazing, just didn't finish. Wanted to print something decently sized out of solid resin, to get a feel for the weight and whatnot.

Turned out that I should have filled the vat way more, or at least kept an eye on it because even if there's still resin in the vat, it pulls it from the middle and the sides don't really go to fill in the centre after a while. Decided to just cancel the print instead of belatedly filling the vat.

Oh well, aside from the support burrs and that weird deformation on eevee's head it turned out really well... Definitely gonna figure out model hollowing in the future though lol.

Well my first attempt at a practical print didn't go as well as I hoped. Not sure how well it comes across but the flat bit at the bottom is meant to be gears. It's a replacement gear drive for the Nintendo 64 controllers.

I've got a pretty good idea about what went wrong though. It was either me putting more resin in on top of the older resin I used to print the formlabs test rook, which I didn't notice but seemed to have a film of cured resin along the bottom. Empty and clean the vat between every print, lesson learned. Or it was the fact that I printed them vertically, flat on the bed with no supports. I'm willing to bet it was a mix of the two.

Is there a best practice to printing small gears this size? I think the fifty micron layer height and screen resolution is fine, there seem to be a correct number of gear teeth and the sizing seems great compared to an actual gear, just a bunch of resin got cured between them by the looks of it.

It's a shame too because even with the resin being uncured it's sturdy enough to withstand the stresses put on it and a perfect fit for the joystick itself! Just 80% of the way there!

Anyone else have issues with a temperamental USB stick? I swapped mine out straight away for a 16GB toshiba one, slow formatted to FAT32, but it seems like random chance if my photon actually recognizes it, like if it does it usually takes a couple tries going in and out of the print menu for it to show up. Is my replacement a dud or is it something worse?

Question about the Chitubox slicer. I've printed the resin exposure tests, dialed those settings in, but what about the light off delays, the lifting distances and speeds, are they alright to leave as default?

Man, my first night working with Resin and I swear I can taste it. Like, not in a "I've drunk resin" sort of way, or even an "I've put something that'd had contact with resin in my mouth sort of way" (a very real worry, I'm a chewer), just that sort of back of your mouth taste. I dunno, it's weird. If I drop dead in the middle of the night I'll let you all know.

Also gotta love that feeling of doing your first print... and then not being able to do anything more because you gotta cure it but it's 2 in the morning, and since it's a resin exposure test thing its still just stuck to your build plate until you can harden it up.

Hey all, this is probably really aussie specific, but how do I dispose of my supports, failed print's and IPA/resin runoff?

I know I need to cure them first (and let the IPA evaporate), but can the printer waste just be thrown into the red bin? Or do I need to recycle it? Or is it another thing entirely?
