Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

Just got my Photon and printed the test file, came out great, so went to print another file and it does not seem to like the STL format, what am I doing wrong?

So I've got my first problem.

There are wierd layer lines that I cannot find any explanation for. I've been printing for about a liter perfectly. Mostly small minis but one or two medium size prints. All with no problems.

These are the largest prints I've done, the wing is the entire height of the print volume! But as you can see the base of the dragon, in the crystals, there are wierd layer artifacts.

I didn't know what the could be causing the layer issues so I though I'd print the wing go see if it would repeat the issue.

The wing is really odd, it has 4 or 5 "layer shifts" like the print head moved a bit. But it's a resin printer without a print head.

I wonder if hollowing the prints could have done something. I used a wall thickness of 1.2.
Normal layer height. One model was hollowed in Meshmixer, the dragon base. And I added a large cutout on the bottom to add supports for the crystal base.
The wing was hollowed in ChiTu box.

So far I've gotten a few suggestions which all could be contributing but nothing real definitive.

1. Bad power supply? The lifting seems to suck to the print bed so maybe it draws to much power. Don't know if this makes sense but a Reddit user said he fixed something similar with a voltage regulator. Anyone else?
2. Wobbly table? It's on a descent folding table but not the most sturdy. I don't know how this could affect the print quality.
3. Z screw binding? Maybe it just for stuck a few times. I would think this would cause other issues like the piece crashing into the build plate or something.
4. Temperature? I print in a small room. The first print, the dragon base, had a computer on and close the door so it could have gotten warm. Not the case with the wing, it printed overnight.
5. Z wobble. Pretty much ruled out as it isn't a consistent problem. At some point I might try to readjust the escentric nut but it's currently working so I'd rather not.

Thinks that about sums up where I'm at. Any tips or if someone has had a similar problem I'd love to know what you did.

Thanks for any suggestions! Really lost here.

My first successful print on my Photon...

Holy Moly Macaroni!
Blender 2.80 beta's sculpt mode it's amazingly easy to use!

i know it's not as good as Zbrush, but as an avid user of Rhino hard-surface modelling for many years, this is a relatively powerful & easy sculpting software to use... & did i mentioned it's free?

kudos to Grant Abbitt for his simply-to-follow tutorial to get me started

Hi guys, just tried my first resin other than anycubic green: anycubic grey. Used the settings from the spreadsheet but everything seems really fuzzy (not much fine detail but all shapes are there) is my exposure time too low? Think it’s set to 15 seconds at the moment for this resin.

Thanks in advance

Has anyone using chitubox ever had it take a screenshot by itself? alt-tabbed out of a game and saw this up, I don't remember if it happened when I pressed anything in particular but I don't seem to be able to disable it anyway (although I want to).

Does anyone who uses Chitubox to slice know which side is the "front" side? When I hit the "F" view (I'm assuming that means front), it gives me the narrow side with the arrow. But the Photon prints from a wide side as the front.... So if you're looking at the "F" view, is it A side or B side that is the actual front view?
