Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » resolution

Why not first find the right settings for 1 model and then add more to the plate ? saves you a lot of resin ?

Kevin Lems do far the photon classic has no real way to dial up the resolution. I should have printed it on the S. And I print in bulk because I sell kits. So I need to take that chance. It's worth it in the end. I have 8 resin and 2 filiment printers that run 24/7 365. This stuff happens! But I print at least 100 things a week.
It's part of the process.....I call it success from failures!

Robert Small haha my bad ? tought it was a first time failure ? but in your case I can understand it's worth taking the risk ? what kind of kits do you sell of I may ask? ?

Kevin Lems I'm in the process of designing kits out of early manned space race this was a never realized x20 Dyna-Soar that Boeing had proposed and was to be our first space vehicle before the Mercury space capsule but once Russia launched Gagarin into space we dropped the project for mercury

Looks amazing! ? must be a really fun project to work on ?? did you design the models and parts yourself?

Yes I have been in 3D graphics since 1988.

Damn! You must have a ton of experience! Can I borrow some? ? ? I've just started using Blender and Forger (ipad) for making sculpts and models. Wich programs do you use?

I've used almost every program out there without exaggerating but I can tell you the newest version of Blender is more capable then anyone under designing nuclear reactors could need!
As a matter of fact the new version I notice is starting to mimic al l of the other 3D programs combined. Since it's an open source software hundreds of thousands of us have been making suggestions because we have been using blender and everybody else's program. So you can imagine I highly recommend blender for two reasons it's easy to use and a comprable program costs nothing under than $1,500 a year just to use.
So let that sink in a comprable program to Blender say 3D Studio Max charges you $1,500 a year it is not a one-time cost.

Nice! Thanks for the info ?? gonna stick with Blender ?? it has a lot of functions but there are also a lot of tutorials to follow. So I will keep working with it ?

Kevin Lems let me know if you need help.
I'll point you to instruct if I can.

Look into DAZ if you want humans and animals. The models merge with Blender. And it's a free one also.

Robert Small I'll definitely let you know ?? thanks!

Not sure what you mean? The photon and the s are both capable of the same resolution: looks like your exposure is a problem

Scott Pavlich no...no...my slicers say different. There are no resolution settings to effect the resolution. Even in Chitubox that feature drops off the the classic setting so your ony at the #4 setting as resolution. I print things with very fine detail twenty-four hours a day 365 days a year and I print over a hundred parts a week.

Disagree: you can only print so well with a 2K resolution screen. I can pull equally as well with both my S’s and my reg photons regardless of the slicer

Scott Pavlich cool

Robert Small please explain as i am keen to understand if there is a real difference between the machines or clippers. do you use chitubox for both?

Jim Monty no it's really a few things like how old the screen is. Because I print so much it's most likely that the screen is becoming what turns out to be out of focus. So the slicers settings are no help. I have changed 15 screens in 2 years. And u n otice as time goes buy one if the signs your gear is at the end of life in that screen is what's in this shot.
Plus in 3d (I've been using 3D software since 1988) you're looking at what's called a point cloud and it is what its name defines your 3D model is merely a cloud of points at any time from the transference changing it from one program to the next information can be dropped that while you see the full image on the screen the information may not transfer during the time of the slice.
I've only been doing this for the last 5 years so a tiny bit of what I'm saying is speculation.
But I have to classics two s's and 3 Elegoo Mars printers and even from printer to printer there are minut changes that's so far aren't predictable.

Which has produced the finest detail of your three types?

Jim Monty I think so far the S and the Elegoo are neck and neck. The difference is the cost in screens and noise volume. The S is more the twice the cost of the screen of the Elegoo but.... The Elegoo is real loud! The Anycubic is more restrictive when it comes to access to the interior and the Elegoo is the simplest to level. It's like any tool. You learn in time how you can make the printer do what you want.

Tip time. With a 3D object because the skin changes in dimension of the object simply rotating it in a different orientation in the slicer can sometimes clean up the model.
So by simply going into the slicer in rotating the model into directions you might not think you would want to use or it might be a problem to clean up is sometimes what saves the project.

All of these 5.5" printers have the exact same screen. Some just have different connector ribbons but the screen itself is the same.

Nipuna Gunarathne Thank you.

Been out since January ;-)

Been in isolation since January?

i just realised i had 2 versions installed been usng an old version icon on desktop different install to the one i called up on search bar ,. sigh.

You can't print an STL file, when you slice it with the correct settings for your printer, you will have a different type of file saved by the software

If you have the photon printer then you need to save them from the slicing software to the USB stick as a .photon file. The printer should recognize it then.

Thank you. I saved the Photon file but I must have copied the stl file to the USB. I decided to give up for the day but will try it again tomorrow.

Thank you. I did save the Photon file but I must have coped the STL instead of the Photon to the USB drive. Will give it another try tomorrow.

That's awesome! Do you have a direct link? Looking for "Midgar", "FF7" and "Final Fantasy" and can't seem to find it!

Really cool print.

Edit: Found one on MMF: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-midgar-101209

Kyle Telechan yeah my bad, it was off mmf XD

That's absolutely rad. Might print one for my friend who's a big FF7 fan.

btw where'd you find the resin for £20 a litre?

John Jones on anycubic ebay page, was on sale

what's your layer height?

red alert 2 dwarf?

Ryan Pennington 0.03 16 x anti aliasing

Matteo Borri Titan Forge Miniature..scum gunner

...hot damn that's better than most of the prints off of my actual Photon.

Yeah, the antialiasing does a decent job of hiding what it’s doing. That looks about like what I was seeing, but I’ve still not got mine tuned - it’s still overcooking.

John Jones that's maybe because the photon zero's screen is just under the FEP , there is not glass protection on it , so the diffraction of the light is null and the pixel precision is better ;)
You can do the same with some diy on the photon or photon S

What size is the model? Can't tell how good the details are unless we know what we're looking at. Looks pretty good to me though!

John Driggers I tried 4, 8, but 16 seems to be the best for me

Kelly Sealey its 6.5cm high

Yeah, that's really nice. The gun looks lower res though, was that printed separately?

Kelly Sealey it was....but I had a mishap ? ? ?

Is this on the Zero?

Oh haha, well on the whole the print looks really good, especially from that printer!

Kelly Sealey thank you ....my first resin printer so went cheap first!

Thomas Niccolo Filamor Reyes yes, first resin printer, only had a few days

Lee Rogers beautiful print! I'm still calibrating mine ~

Can you perhaps print this figure to compare? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3473793

Thomas Niccolo Filamor Reyes looks great

oooh, that's interesting to know

Do a search for my name, I have some pics that are slightly better than those

Minghua Kao ok...I'll take a look

You have to reverse the glass with the LCD , all infos are on the link ;)

Did you put it into test mode?

Wes Mischke no, is that a setting on the printer its self? Isn't it just a print file what does test mode do.

So you’ll have to get the test and print mode files from GitHub

Load the test and print mode files into usb like a sliced file. Then “print” the test mode file, then print your resin exposure test then “print” print mode to return your printer to stock settings.
