Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

I had some lift for a while. I re levelled my bed and I pre warm my resin before printing in a warm water. I Aalto give it some extra heat as the build plate is lowering via a hair dryer just so to raise the ambient temperature inside a bit. Had 0 issues since I’ve started doing thay

Thank you! And what about the Chitu parameters?

I would rotate this piece nearly 90 degrees in the x axis; yes, you'll get support marks along one side, but stuff always prints better when you're building the model on top of itself, not trying to drag it out of the vat against its supports.

Eduardo Vide these are my settings but I’ve only been printing about a month

Alex Bainbridge thank you so much!

You can always manually add larger supports on the side that lifts rather than the normal ones you are using in this problem area

Thanks! I have been reading it and it was very helpful!

but does it work???

Excellent. What size chuck?

But does it work???

How long does it take to drill through 1/4” steel plate?

love printing flat on bed... so fast..

Nice m8.....if you are into this......have a look here......DREWL WARNING.... https://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Jordan.htm

For a brief second while I was scrolling through, I thought you printed the butter dish holder robot that Rick made in Rick and Morty lol

Ernest Sandridge Ill it is on thingiverse

PLEASE MAKE THIS WORK! ?

This will be perfect for cavities

Whats the size of this i am looking at doing the same thing. And did you angle the print

Dan Runner its definitely possible

Matty Bulmer flat on bed.. same width as short side of bed

This is my Hogwarts ?

Hoghead Hoffer yeah sounds like the size im going to run i just scaled to fit

Davide Maselli thats awesome!

Hoghead Hoffer thanks

Looks like I'll have to do one for the daughter

Happy Wife Happy Life ? ?

Those pillars are next level!!!

Hoghead Hoffer did you hollow?

Awesome ? ? ? you have an photon S? Wich parameters did you use?

Ivan Del Bene yeah, second that! I am following this one!

If this is one of the files from Thingiverse, which one did you use.....there are many of them!

I would love to know where you got this from.
Also, I'm resin did you use resin?

What are the setting your using to get it so small and clean

Ivan Del Bene .05 at 11 seconds printed flat on bed on original photon

Anthony Martinez .05 at 11 seconds printed flat on bed on original photon

Matty Bulmer no

Turned out great! Where’s the STL from?

Doug Bowman thingiverse Type in hogwarts

Make sure you don't put it on a chair and forget about it lol

Amanda Lee
Kiki Hong Olsen

Really nice, where's this STL from?

i love that, i printed a winterfell one really small but i need to try the hogwarts one

Andy Huffer beautiful wich setting did you use? And where I can found this stl? Did you use antialiasing? Thx sorry for many questions ? ? ?

I always wondered if they used magic or hard labor to build the school grounds. it would be an incredible feat to do by hand alone. lol

Very nice ? All you need now is to paint it ?

Ivan Del Bene it's been so long since I printed it I can't even remember to be honest. No anti-aliasing. i just printed it flat but raised a bit and supported off the build plate.

This was the STL i think

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39680

Andy Huffer ? ?

Would you be able to send me the file for this? Already sliced would be awesome if you could

Kris Wainwright i had other stuff on the build plate at same time

Hoghead Hoffer ahh okay. Do you have the file you used just for hogwarts?

Hoghead Hoffer I sent you a PM

Will try this one on the Zero just to compare. I'm amazed at how well the zero performs and I got mine dirt cheap.

it is?

Jason Willis ABS is starting to get short. Only expensive stuff in grey now.

Gotcha i just stocked up grey and maroon so i'm good for awhile from amazon.

First IPA now resin!! I have a month off, I need to print. Luckily, I just ordered a liter of resin.

Jason Archuleta same

Mika Gruszka Teacher?

Jason Archuleta no, sorry. I was same-ing the "just bought a liter"

Gotcha. Me and a bunch of other teachers out there just got a month off. It is an unfortunate reason, but I am going to enjoy the time off.

Will you still get paid?

Peter Rowe some yes, long term subs like me...no

yes

William Tatum subbing is a hard gig during breaks. If you are in the US you may be able to get unemployment. I am not sure if it is just CA or the entire US, but provisos have been made for those can not work because of covid 19 related shut downs.

Jason Archuleta that's what I am hoping for.

It's what I've been doing too, I was supposed to go back from Spring Break tomorrow. Just got word this evening Governor closed the schools.

make the best of it ?‍♂️

One more here. In Brazil we are in the same situation, 15 days of recess. I printed a whole set of Heroquest over the weekend lol.

Almost same here in Denmark. Next two weeks all classes are online.

I love that troll! Who made it?

Artisan Guild https://www.patreon.com/ArtisanGuild

Jason Archuleta thanks!

same here in the Netherlands, schools are closed. we're workning to setup online lessons. in the mean while...

Sadly you did nothing wrong, this is what it always does when exposed to UV, ironically. Apparently you can get UV-blocking primer or lacquer coating which will prevent it but not found any yet.

Simon Wilson huh. So why do they make clear if it doesn’t stay clear (since I’m assuming leaving it in the sun would do the same thing?)

Nothing, it's just cheap resin, cheap clears and whites will yellow

Do you have a suggestion for a clear that wont yellow, by any chance?

Riika Magnus monocure

30 seconds to cure

Good question! I tested my prints by putting them on the window sill and they gradually yellow over the course of a few days, not really used it since as I needed it to be crystal clear like when it's just freshly printed! Maybe there's a better one out there that probably costs more?

It will lighten back up likeiy

I have heard (from somewhere) that if you immerse it in water while curing, that it will prevent the print from yellowing. ?‍♂️ worth a try maybe

Stefan Giudici Thanks, I'll check it out!

John Chrapkowski 30 second?! Oh, I really over did it, LOL.

Kyle McPherson Interesting!! Maybe the water refracts the UV rays so they aren't so harsh?

Riika Magnus from what I remember the yellowing is due to air exposure.

So there is a technical reason why finding clear polymers that don’t yellow with UV exposure is really difficult, from my meetings with epoxy resin manufactures, the polymer in question needs to be completely stable and non-volatile, which is incredibl y expensive to manufacture. It is theoretically possible to create a clear photocurative resin for 3d printing with the same principle but you would be paying $$$ per liter

Riika Magnus You need to estimate how much "resin needs to be cured"
The "wireframe" is very thin so does not need a lot of extra time curing.

If you'd print a solid block of that size, you might need more than 30 seconds....

Xi-Sheng Luo Good to know, thank you!

Miles Redman Thank you for sharing! Very interesting!

Riika did nothing wrong people! Nothing wrong! It’s not her fault the resin producing cabal LIES!

I’ve heard heating it significantly will remove some yellowing, but haven’t tested myself yet.

You did nothing wrong, sadly that's what happens when you cure your "clear resin" prints

Humm... Like, say, with a heat gun?

Just a little cross-linking of the resin.

All clears will yellow under UV, some more than others- but I’d say that it’s overcured. Thin parts need much less time. 60 sec might even be too long.

I’ve had pretty good luck so far with the Clear Blu from Siraya Tech.

Riika Magnus , something like that. Once again, this is only what I’ve seen in other groups. Might want to look into it a bit more before attempting.

Nice.. ? ? ? Mr cleaning is based on? Better ore equal to ipa? Thanks ?

Ivan Del Bene I’ve never used IPA, I just watched a video from Uncle Jesse comparing Simple Green, Mr. Clean, Mean Green and IPA. He liked Mean Green the best but I wasn’t able to get any so I went with Mr. Clean.

Hello Riika! Check out my Newbie resin printing Guide. It should be usefull for you!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnycubicPhoton/permalink/1959611750850124/

In this particular issue - Clear resins tuen yellow when cured longer than 60 sec (resin dependent) So use little time for cure.

Tom Sargison thanks, I will check that out!!

Riika Magnus wich is the main ingredient of it? Ammoniac or alchol based? ?

A lot of people are having to use alternatives to IPA. Riika Magnus another option that doesn't seem to be leaving the shelves is denatured alcohol. Like this stuff https://www.homedepot.com/....../Klean-Strip....../100139444 . I just bought some Simple Green to try out, because there is 0 IPA anywhere as would be expected.

Ivan Del Bene Mr. Clean is ammoniac based. Are you posing that question because ammoniac should be avoided?

Chris Armstrong nono I was thinking about it because I replace tamya solvent for my airbrush with a glass ammoniac product.. And worth it ? ?

Riika Magnus in conjunction to what he said about the resin cure time, if it sits stationary in the uv light, you’ll have those spots that are more heavily exposed. It’s good to rotate the print in the light, or have total exposure from all sides to evenly cure.

Corey Ardwin That I do know. I am just temporary using my UV nail dryer (I actually do use that for my nails, LOL) until I build a curing box (it will have reflective sides, UV strip lights and a solar turner). In this scenario I cured for 60s, then rotated the object, and did that three more times as I was unaware that 60s probably would have been sufficient, LOL.

Melissa Dodd thank you

What is this beautiful thing

Marchande Dark Thank you...it is isint it?

Robert Small what will it be pand where might I find one

Marchande Dark Boeing x20 dinosaur I'm designing in 3D printing it if you're interested in 1 p.m. me.

Thats cool, will you be releasing the stl ?

John Nash Well I'm afraid not this is a 120 dollar model. It's part of my bread and butter. Sorry.

Marchande Dark maybe this will be an alternative https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3174974

Леша Сигида sure.

Nice model!!! And great job!!! Lots of work designing and printing...

Keeping busy inside alone now!

Yayyy!!

Jolene Sweeney I gave up And just stuck it in there. Now I’m curing it in my nail light.

LINK OF ULTRASONIC PLEASE

Riika Magnus nice! Yep I bought a uv light and a whit box with a spin table. :) I use acetone tho! Mean green did not work

Jolene Sweeney I used Mr. Clean today. I think it cleaned it alright ?‍♀️

How long are you supposed to cure it in the UV light for?

Riika Magnus I left mine for a out an hour honestly. I did 6 hours too wasn't an issue. But I looks like about 20 min is fine roo

Yea I had a terrible time! Lol but working well now.

Jhon Pier Acuña Escalante I got mine on eBay, it’s the 2L model for $59

https://www.ebay.com/....../1-3L-2L....../312719889097......

Jolene Sweeney sooo I did a about 4 mins in my light and now it looks kind of... burned?

Riika Magnus that's odd.... mine is not in a nail lamp and the model is 6-8inches from the model.

Could be because of the clear colors? I've only printed in gray but trying clear tomorrow

I never heat, if I go from the printer directly to the ultrasonic (3-5mins max) the supports come right off

Jolene Sweeney mine was right there.

Rigo Arevalo I was just doing the test print so no supports to deal with. But thanks for the info!!

Mmmm can't help much on that! My light is purple ?

Jolene Sweeney mine is a purple 405nm light, I think my camera just messed with the exposure.

Riika Magnus oh ok! I bought this one from Amazon


3D Printer UV Resin Curing Light... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0834N3Z2L......

I have that and really like it

Rigo Arevalo Jolene Sweeney good to know about that one, I ordered some UV Led strip lights to put in a curing box I’m going to build once everything gets here. But I’m just not sure if the lights are really going to be UV 405nm, so nice to know of a backup.

Yellowing is from “over curing” but some resins will get clear over time. It’s difficult getting a clear to stay clear after printing, but there are some newer resins that claim to stay clearer during curing and beyond

Rigo Arevalo LOL, I had the think in there for 4 mins. Didn’t realize that would be to long. But good to learn now!

Looks good!

look like square be out of shape

Kwok Tony what do you mean?

look like square be out of shape, isn't it?

Kwok Tony it looks fine to me in person. Maybe it’s just the pic?

I have this same one and love it so far

Mine is leave the house loud ?

Luke Mason I have a hearing aid in one ear and as soon as I turn on the cleaner it goes crazy and I have to take it out of my ear.

Riika Magnus you can leave prints going for long periods of time, but they can become brittle. Clear resins turn yellow quickly. Try putting it in a clear container of water while curing to help also.

I just fill it with hot water from the tap. It takes ages to warm up otherwise

I've just tried my new cure & wash station & IMO it's the bees knees!

I don't mess with the heater on mine. Be careful, because it probably doesn't have any logic at all - if you forget to turn off the heater, it won't shut off. After all the water evaporates, you have a fire hazard. It almost happened to me once and I'm pretty careful about stuff like that. Luckily I was home and noticed before it was a serious problem.

Micah Vestal good to know, I didn’t even think of that.

John Vickers I looked at that, but it cost more than the Zero so I couldn’t justify it.

Unless I remember to turn the heater on beforehand (that's about a 50/50 proposition) I never have the patience to wait.

I wouldn't use the heater:
