Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

looks very nice !

Piotr Felke thank you ?

That would be a test print that I'd actually want to keep!

Superglue works fine

I got loctite ultra liquid and it does in fact not work.

Resin with a UV flashlight works

https://shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php......
This has worked on Anycubic, Siraya Fast white and gray, and Egloo Gray

I have loctite power flex and precision and both works well

The Super Glue one, I didn't realize I linked the whole sale page

Also, Super Glue Activator is a trap. It's straight up cancer if it touches your skin or lungs, makes the glue more brittle than curing naturally, and you can get better results if you set the piece down and walk away for an hour. Just get a jeweler's Third Hand with tweezers and it solves 90% of the issue just by having it in the room.

You can also get all pro and use liquid resin, and apply it like glue and then use a 405nm UV flashlight.

But is it more cost effective to do that or superglue?

Charlie Yoshi Locke I cant attest to that. I use the glue I posted. But I have fixed bits that broke with resin. It’s tiny amounts like you would use with superglue

deffo resin and a uv torch - very quick and easy to do and better than superglue as the colour will be a perfect match everytime! you cant see the joint afterwards

I use resin and a uv light.

Resin is great for tiny parts that are a pain to hold together because it sets so quickly under UV. Otherwise for big parts I use gorilla glue, and for big parts with defects I use green stuff and sculpt as needed.

I use Bondloc superglue. Works well and you can find it pretty cheap if you look about.

I remember the Anycubic coming with a yellow resin. It was super light, and was a bit fragile, but not a bad color. For blue, all I could recommend would be Siraya Blu. Sorry, lady. Mainly a grey man myself.

Michael Gonzalez I have Soraya blue, it's not quite as blue as I'd like though

Thanks anyway :)

Can you use a clear resin that you dye blue with resin dyes?

Thank you!!

I have another of those Krieg snipers; very nice models :)

Douglas Parkinson yes the designer of tjis figures is really great i love it so much, am going to join his Patreon to access more of his work

What exposure time do u use?

where did you get this model?

What's the designers name?

Chiewata thank you!

I haven’t printed any bases so far with mine. Is upright like that the best way to do them?

Justy O'White I've done upright here because sideways they wouldn't fit in the dimensions of the build plate. Smaller ones I've done both this way and flat on the base. Sometimes the flat ones chip a little removing and need some two part epoxy to work, but upright adds 1/4 to 1/3 more resin for the supports so it depends on how much extra finishing work you want to do.

Have you leveled your printer with the little legs seems to be a build up in one corner might have been able to get that last bit done

This is the big octopus I printed once upright. It turned out well this way. I had merged the base into the model because I could tell the original STL wouldnt sit on a base, but the downside was it would never print flat due to the width.

It was never a problem before now, but now that I've seen it that's something I'll be doing today.

Brendan Wood the legs on the bottom of the machines twist to level them I just use a mini sprit level you never know could have finished the print if the resin was in the middle

Vinny Bryant I had to level it to the table once so I knew about the feet, it just hadn't occurred to me that the whole thing might lean to one side a little even if all four were planted firmly against the bench lol

im i the only one who thinks bases (if not highly detailed) is waste of resin? you can make them from cardboard, EPS, on FDM printer or just dont make them at all if the mini can stand withouth it... i might be wrong but with this much resin you could make seweral minies instead

It doesn't look like it's for a mini. Anyways a nice base makes the sculpture look more finished, you can't make cardboard look good nor paint it in a way that wouldn't clash with a resin figure.

you clearly didnt heard about modpodge... but not my point these look like plane circles whats nice about them? as i sayed i get it if the base is part of the story of the model like ruin of building or defeated enemy

Petr Grössl they're fancy on the back side. I didnt take a picture before I had to leave the house. I've made bases from scratch before, but I wanted to print the ones that came with stuff I've already printed. I'm still figuring out how I want my workflow to move, but I've made bases before and it's not the most fun part for me so I'm seeing of it's easier this way.

Petr Grössl some of us play games that require a specific base size.

then please accept my sincere apology for me it looked just like plane circles. iw seen those printed before and it just hurt to see

i do play those too... i used to make them from ExPs back when i was cloning old GW models and its not thath hard if you use some geometry

Petr Grössl no worries mate, it does seem silly. I'll go out on a limb and say that it might be difficult at this moment to get other supplies to make a base from scratch and so just printing one might be easiest.

well we are just on start of this panic soon will resin be worth gold... amazon might have some in warehouses but when it runs out its over for us till the quarantine is lifted

oops

Could be a failing LCD. Do you have many hours on it?

Run the LCD test. Not that I think it's that (( LCD burn out looks a little different)) but sometimes is you have a spill resen will get on the underside of the screen and cure there. Give you round spots.

Failing screen. I’m dealing with the same issue currently

Greg Keddy no. Not really.

Barthels Marvels I’m trying a different print now to see if it does it.

Print something smaller and try to put it on the side of the plate that isn’t above where the dead pixels are

I just made a post about this in the Chitubox group. That circled arrow represents the left side of your printer when you are facing it. In case you don’t know

So bad screen? Man! I haven’t even had it a year yet.

Craig Underhill they are a consumable on these machines. I’ve had mine since Christmas and it’s toast if that makes you feel any better. Mine is pretty much running 24/7 though

Barthels Marvels thanks. I need to find a link to one here in the states at a decent price.

Craig Underhill good luck!! Amazon doesn’t have much and they are delayed understandably.

nope only equivalent as the Sun UV rays if that

No, wrong wavelength.

Not quite the right wavelength.

I have one of those dish heaters in my garage. That could work really well at flash frying those buggers.

No, you need lower wavelengths

You can get either sterilization led strips or HG bulbs (which are pretty cheap actually)

And you run a risk of...

And a lot more care, as exposure to those is very dangerous

Cristian Cozma yeah definitely, you need to get out of the room, first time you'll get a tan, the next time - something much less pleasant

Really nice

22 hours????? .02 layer hight ?????

stl? prty pleeeeease dear sir

Tiago Lopes yup ?

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3807852

Oh hey I've done that model! Much tinier though

I only get error 404 when I try to download it ....

huh didnt realized its one of zavalas... he must have updated it

Yes

Yes, you probably have a fauxton,

You need to make sure chitubox is outputing the file to a .photon files. It isn the settings somewhere

Jeremy Swigart , is there a how to video?

Jim Goulbourne , did that they are discovered but says that they can't be opened, that's why I thought firmware

New photon firmware no longer recognizes .photon only .PWS save your STL with supports or whatever from chitubox then open it and slice it in photon workshop

At least that's what I learned about my photon s. I also just got it like 2 days ago

Reid Ball yeah thats what im doing with my zeros. I use chituboz to do the supports then photon slicer for the final output.

Reid Ball incorrect. Update firmware to 5.0X and it will read .photon, .photons, and .pws.

The directions are with the files. It's super trivial

Jeff Greenfield ?? ??

Jeff Greenfield thanks for that, I definitely assumed it would have came with the most recent firmware

Reid Ball Or update your firmware

Yeah, had the same issue and did the firmware 5.1 I think from their website and it recognizes .photon files now. I use the Prusa slicer for generating the supports, save as stl with supports included and bring it into Chitubox to generate the slicer file.

John Bkly you use normal supports in prusa slicer?

Auto generate then add a few that I think it missed. It has worked pretty well so far, just a couple extra steps and a bit of extra time.

Jairo Ledesma careful I got flamed for saying something similar. Apparently the community flips their collective shit over the word “fauxton” even tho that’s literally what you have to google to find the answer to this question.

Check the file names before you start upgrading software.

100% do the firmware update - then you can use all photon related filetypes

I have just got the photon s and will not read the files from chitubox either. Is there a specific version number for the firmware that is know to work, or is it just a case the latest version will do?

I only ask as I have seen conflicting advice saying "no longer working on the latest firmware"

just update to v5.x and all will be good

Nicholas Norton wouldn’t flame him, just assume he’s the kinda guy who waits in line for the newest iPhone then jerks off about it for a month every time he tells someone about it

This is not true. Just update firmware

Yea, not sure why.people.keep.saying that, and we are in almost april. About a week or so after release there was a software update. Does .photon and .photons

Always make sure to check firmware updates on Anycubic.com

Afaik The new photons only use the pws file type which you can't export with chitubox you have to open it again in photon workshop and save as pws
