Temple of The Unified Build Plates of Photonia.
PSA
The past several weeks, over on the Phrozen groups, a rash of premature LCD failures in the Shuffle machines have been reported.
The LCD failures were Initially downplayed by Phrozen, and some owners, as being due to user failure instead of an inherent design flaw.
Phrozen has finally acknowledged that it is likely a combination of both factors by publishing some tips on how to prevent LCD damage on the Shuffles.
How does this affect the Photon? Both machines share similar designs; a UV light engine through an LCD mask. The main differences being that the Shuffles use a higher wattage UV LED array (Paraled) and unprotected LCD screens versus the Photon with a low wattage single source UV reflector cone and tempered glass protected LCD screens.
In comparison to the Shuffles, the Photons hardly suffer from premature LCD failures. Therefore based on the differences above, one can conclude it is probably due to less heat build up, and less mechanical stress on the Photon LCD screens.
The tips to help prevent LCD damage published by Phrozen can also be applied to help extend the already long lifespans of the Photon LCDs.
They are :
1. Avoid "rapid" curing resin. Abnormally high heat generated by very fast curing resins can cause permanent damage and dead pixels on the LCD.
2. Avoid resins that require very long initial (bottom) layer exposures. Again, high heat exposures will damage the LCD.
3. Keep resin, FEP and build plate clean at all times. Always check if the build plate, resin in vat and FEP film are free from cured resin before printing or leveling. This will help prevent mechanical (pressure) damage to the LCD.
4. Do not clean the FEP film with the vat on the LCD. Pressure from a scraper can cause permanent damage to the LCD. Remove the vat from printer before you clean the FEP film of stuck prints.
Sacrifice moar! Photonia thanks you.
