Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

Following, because I have a file with similar issues.

How large is the file?

Scott Pavlich one of the files 427.5mb

All the files in this model are acting like this. Thought maybe something was wrong and tried sending to nettfabb. It won’t accept it because it’s over the 400mb.

I finally got Meshmixer to crawl through and reduce the file size.
427.5MB > 225.2MB

Hoping it doesn't affect the print resolution, guess I'll have to reduce all the files so it looks the same just in case.

Quinn Mehling While you’re computer might be fine, many times the weak link is with the graphics card. I’ve had to update all my cad computers over the years to handle ever increasing cad files. Any 3D model is math- intensive so that, RAM, and a fast processor make life a lot easier on large files

thought about that too, currently running 2, ATI HD5770 Mac editions

probably wouldn't hurt to up them. haven't had too many issues running Zbrushcore or Maya.

Did you solve the problem by reducing the file size? Having the same issue atm

Tyron Craft I believe so, I had to reduce it quite a bit. The render looks ok but I’m going to print it today on the photon and see how the quality is.

I'm currently in the same predicament. I replaced the LCD today and getting the same results. I then switched to another LCD from a different manufacturer but no change. I put in for a ticket with Anycubic. Let's see what they come up with.

What type of LCD screen? If it is the Mars one, I believe you have to use an adaptor. Plugging the wrong one in can fry the motherboard. In you case it looks like it may not be plugged in properly

Your wall thickness is set to more than two centimeters, try making it two millimeters and see if that helps. :)

Im a fucking idiot, thanks

Ask me how I know what having the wrong settings in that box will do for your sanity! ? ? ?

for you PM

I see you figured out the issue, but you may want to try meshmixer to hollow, it leaves way less artifacts inside. Once hollow load back into chitubox and out your holes in. Supposedly in chitubox, instead of hollowing you can leave it solid, then use the infill option and it'll hollowing and add a support pattern inside the model. Theres a video on chituboxes website showing how it works

Little wipe with asotone and they will disappear

Vinny Bryant Before or after clean up and post cure?

Matt Enochs try it after cure I got a bit Confused thought it was a filliment print but might still be worth a try

AA will help, and there is a chart that optimises angle to layer height. Eg 0.04 layer is about 42 degrees to the horizontal, but given you have multiple flat surfaces, you’ll have to compromise

It might be a loose z-axis or it might be that for that angle, you need thinner layers to appear smooth. I use .03 for everything.
Good blend of speed and detail

You can cove this u when you paint, just don’t use washes of the flat surface. And keep the paint matt

Vinny Bryant nope - basically the only solvents that will dissolve cured resin are chloroform and paint stripper. Neither are a good idea to use at home. The former is illegal (in quite a few places) and the latter is carcinogenic.

Peopel have to understand that aliasing happens at every degree at some strength and antialiasing cannot always prevent it. The perfect angle is 45 degree, no matter what. Its a math Problem you could even calculate.

Just a thought is your bulit plate lever as the ones on the left look okay but the right look worse

I assume you got one of the Photons with the Photon S boards. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you have to do a firmware update before it recognizes .photon files.

I did a update back in early December, possible there is a new one?

Ralph Hulslander I couldn't tell you, unfortunately. I've only had my printer since late December and it's a Photon S - all I know is from hearsay.

From what I can tell, the firmware for the "upgraded" photon came out in early November, so if that's t he one you're on, what I suggested might not be the solution to your problem.

All I know is that particular firmware enables .pws, .photon, and .photons files, so you may wanna check that version and what model printer you have.

You need 5.02 firmware.

How do I upgrade the Firmware? I found the 5.02 download there are 2 .bin files which do I use? Thanks

Both of them, one is for the UI, and the other is the firmware

Put the on the USB - then "print" both files using the Photon touchscreen interface

just read the PDF instruction sheet that is with the firmware

there was no .pdf in the download, that was why I asked.

It’s made for the transparent green I believe. That’s got a fairly low exposure time. What resin are you using?

I picked up a bottle of black since my printer did not have any sample resin. That would probably be fairly different then?

Aaron Dunkerly yeah. Black needs more time in my experience. Probably because transparent allows more uv to penetrate a little better. Do you get the base on the build plate or is it all on the FEP

It gets on the build plate too. It gets submerged a tad when its printing. Bottle says I need to set the exposure to 60 seconds.

This sheet will help you a LOT in setting the proper exposure times: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j......

awesome, thank you!

Motherboard. Mine came in and my Z axis was not working. A replacement motherboard took care of the issue.

Try printing the factory default file before declaring dead, always worth a go https://github.com/....../firmware/factory-defaults.zip

Dinesh Ghimire

Yes, it's a known issue. Just corrupted eeprom, easy fix. Reflash /update firmware or download the factory defaults gcode file and reflash eeprom.

https://github.com/....../photon-known-issues.md......

They will ask you to update the firmware then try something else. Then send you a photon s motherboard and new fans.
That’s what they did for me a few weeks ago

Great. Maybe we should all do that, corrupt the eeprom then claim a new mainboard. Then fix the eeprom and have a free spare mainboard. Coolio, that'll teach them.

Fraudulent behaviour..Bravo..

English probably isn't your primary language. It's called sarcasm. Look it up.

Actually it is...You look up ' Fuckwit '

And boom. One less to deal with.

Twist the rod slightly and turn it on to see if it was just stuck.

I just toss them outside in the morning and bring them in when I get home from work.

Kinda what I figured. Didn't know if left out to long would do something weird.

Matthew Fry hasn't hurt the 6mm and 15mm miniatures that I print

I've left stuff out for hours in the bright Southern California sun without incident. If it's overcast, all day isn't too long.

Check on it every 20 minutes or so

If it's not strong sunlight, you might have to leave it outside for days
