Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

Got any pictures of what you are looking to achieve? Something that small you might be able to sculpt or create geometrically in a 3D program closely enough that it is not noticeably different from the original. Depends on the shape and complexity.

Wouldn’t be hard to scale something like this down.

I'm looking for a match to these specific figs.

Lamarr Eddings Looks like it could be sculpted with a bit of time and access to an original to make measurements. My (somewhat uninformed) guess is that the effort to clean up a scan might be as much as creating the thing from scratch, but I could be w rong.

Know anyone who is a whiz at 3D stuff? Or prepared to put in a bit of time to learn to do it yourself (assuming you don't already have those skills)? I am learning Fusion 360, and finding it quite enjoyable just trying to create stuff. These shields are a bit organic, so probably other 3D applications would be more suitable.

Lamarr Eddings Looks like an easy modeling job

Check this...

Set the “Z lift height” to zero in the field where your support settings are

Good info here

What program are you guys using? I'm using the one the printer came with I think. Looks very limited. Probably why it says basic

Just went to the website. I have the oldest version software lol. Updating now

In supports mode...look for Z lift ( in Chitubox anyhow ) Set it to Zero

Thanks y'all
Got it figured out

I got the same issue. Your new fep is too flexible and the rising distance is not enough. 1 increase rising distance like 6mm. 2 if is not sufficient you must substitute the fep and mount it more tight

sounds like a good lead. Does the "tuning" come in to play with the flexability?

I had same issue with .2 fep. Went back to .15 and no issues since

That is my fall back. I thought I was erring on the side of caution, getting a slightly thicker/durable FEP it is has been a hassle.

The rising distance is the distance the bed rise after each layer detaching it from the fep. But if the fep is too flexible it don't detach. This is the quick explanation.

sounds good, i was thinking that tuning the FEP to a higher frequency may take some of the stretch out, but adjusting the rise will be safer.

Dan Seisdedos I had the same thought..oh well we tried right!

James Turner yep, I just wish it had taken less time to come to a conclusion. If i don't get a good print by tomorrow evening, I will order a thinner sheet. Did you go with OEM or third party?

I've used both and found no difference. And there are sellers on amazon that are cheaper than OEM but when you get it,its exact same as OEM package and all

Mount the FEP as tight as possible

Juaco Amado do you have a hz in mind?

Juaco Amado I replaced the fep without the bottle cap, tuned to 395hz. Got my first successful print and weeks.

I had to replace the fep to be able to tune all the way up to 395hz. Finally got it working.

Dan Seisdedos Glad ti hear !! it’s a very sensible part on the printing process and it’s better “over” tight than “under” tight an how much tighter depends on how strong you do it when replacing the FEP

Or use surgical spirit or ethanol all better options than water washable resin lol

Stuart Radmore water washable resin rules.

Until you read the msds

Well the thought I have about water washable resin... when you wash you piece on a water container... you got a lot of resin I cured in it... ipa evaporate if you want to cleanup the container... but water not ... or at least not so fast... then chemic als in water washable resin cannot be disposed in regular waste ... so what is the advantage? You cannot rincé your piece under water flow directly going into the sink thus you still need a container and you still need to remove most of the resin before letting evaporate the water...

I formulated my first water washable resin almost 7 years ago. That time my last of 3 sons was a toddler. I was thinking "God, this is a brilliant idea, no need to use alchool, users can wash parts directly into sink!". Then I took a look to him, at the formulation and I decided not to produce that resin.

I use Mr. Clean in an ultrasonic. Works great!

Ettore Maria Bar why not?

Read SDS of water washable resins to find out yourself.

Or just use DNA. Works great.

i would rather not print then use water washable resins. it never cleans you still need to use ipa on them to get them 100% clean. people tend to think water washable = safe. others will wash in there sinks under taps. other people will just throw the dirty water down the sink. not saying you and others in the group will. just saying that peeps will. hate the stuff. hence why the anycubic bio resin is no longer water washable due to the environmental impact that could happen with misuse.

Ettore Maria Bar I formulated mine over 10 years ago. HA

Mack , nice, but what is your actual occupation? I run a company manufacturing resins with 40+ distributors worldwide.

Ettore Maria Bar I work at McDonald's

Mack , makes sense.

You just cure it and strain it. The advantages are obvious. Less odor, less cost, less exposure to flammable compounds.

the filter doesn’t make it safe to put water down the drain

i just clean in a water bath, put it under UV lamps, take my dirty water tanks to the city disposal as contaminated water.

Who is putting anything down a drain? Water evaporates, too.

use methylated spirits. works as good if not better and in my experience is way cheaper than ipa.

beautiful

From where this model is? Looks like a tiny castle I have seen from a painter a while ago

I have to ask as everyone one seems to, where did you get this from or did you make it yourself? It look fab and I would like to print one for my wife.

Riika Magnus thanks

That print came out very nice!

Clear under UV light.

Normal Grey Color

I printed one on the Photon Zero and it mostly came out ok. Some of the tower tops stuck to the FEP, and there was some separation near the middle

What resin were you using?

Looks awesome!!!

Riika Magnus AnyCubic black

Jonathan Basseri eek that didn’t turn out so well. Did you use the settings for that color that are in the spreadsheet?

Nope, have a Photon S since November, works like a charm

I have a Photon "original" made after October. So far I have had no issues whatsoever. I know there are some reasons why it's not as good as the O.G, mods and such, but for me as a simple hobbyist it's been a most excellent device. Printed him overnight, didn't have enough resin so I lost the tips of his horns, but that's my fail not the devices.

It would be the light, not the screen

Would that have gone out at the same time as the screen and if so how hard is that to replace
