It's been a rough day with a few printing failures, but my record since getting the photon is this: 1 successful test cube then 3 successful prints when I had time to set them up without distraction, and 3 failed prints while I was wrangling a toddler during setup. I think I can see the problem!
The latest success is wonderful, I know the Photon excels in organic shapes, but I needed a more engineered part, very large, thin walled but almost filled the plate and build height. Well it came out beautifully! Removed supports before cleaning which I discovered was much easier than after as they bend nicely
:)
, used IPA pour/spray and wipe, didn't wash, left to air dry then cured in the sun. Used settings from the Google docs file at 0.05 layer height. Can't show the full thing sadly but you can see how nice and straight everything is
:)
Really happy with this one. Trouble is, I need two and with all the failures today my green resin is running out. I have black and white Anycubic resins here, if I have to top it up during the print which would you put your money on for success?
FTR no toddlers were exposed to anything harmful, I just couldn't give the Photon my full attention and that messed things up - the last fail was down to my only tightening one side of the resin vat down, doh!
