Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

I am a new owner who believes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. My printer seems to be working well but I wonder what I should do to minimize problems moving forward. What easy steps can I do to improve the reliability of the machine or minimize the damage/clean-up when things go badly?

For example: I have seen here that some of you sealed the edge around the LCD with Kapton tape to prevent resin from damaging the LCD if/when the FEP breaks.

What has worked for you - or in hindsight do you wish you had done before things went sideways for you?

(picture is so people will see this post LOL)

Photon arrived today!!!
Calibration went fine, albeit I cleaned it badly before curing

First real print, mini for a friend, came out perfect.
Heroforge model so I can’t share, sliced on its side with medium supports using chitubox 1.4 in the anycubic green sample using photonsters resin chart settings.

Hello people! At the moment i have a problem im strugglibg to solve. I need to make lens for RC models. Im using anycubic clear (wanhao clear) And deatail come out perfect but the lens is mate and not clear. Using medical alcohol 96% to wash. Mate surface is not because of wahing. To those that dont know - micro steps (layers) make outer surface mate when inside it is all solid smooth. This is besic mate glass + water effect. Put anything liquid on it and bam! - its clear.
My Idea was to use art brush to put on thin layer of resin after wash (on dry part) and cure it. But to my dissapointment it does not cure! I tryed different lamps, even photons screen led. Thin layer doesnt cure, it stays sticky.

So i put a drop on a plastic card and a thin layer of resin nearby. - Drop (thicker resin) did cure in a secind. Thin layer stayes almost liquid.
I tryed:
2 component adhesive resit - it becomes cloudy and tends to shring in to a drop.
tryed nail artists "Top" resin coater (the one they cure under UV light in beaty salon) - same thing thin layer doesnt cure

Ordinary lacquer is no good because it wont last long. What can i use people? Please give suggestions.

In ylthe meantime while im preparing the titan files I hot started on some prints for my friends. These deathwatch bits are by far in a way the smallest and most detailed models ive printed on my photon. The camera on my phone cant get close enough to show off the detail but words like 'purge' and 'cleanse' are clearly legible.

I also decided to try and slow down the build plate movement in chitubox by half of what it usually is, and i think it really helped here.

First real print. Used the elegloo 3d fast dry resin. Had this happen on both halves, where part of the wing curled up. I'm assuming it just didn't stick right at first. What's the recommendation for the fix?

Dear photonsters , What resin do you prefer for :
1. Very high resolution prints
2. Castable prints
3. High strength printed objects that can be used functionally.

Hey guys.. all of a sudden my prints are sticking to the plate so well that I need a hammer and scraper and a lot of force to hammer them down.. I sanded the plate many months ago but suddenly I barely can get anything off the plate :(
