Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LASS

Hi all!

So I just got my Anycubic Photon (woot!) and it comes with yellow glass instead of the blue glass that I understood wasn't a UV filter, but is this new yellow glass UV filtered?

Thanks!

Ok, I got a weird, hopefully fixable, problem with my Photon.

it's about 10 months old, and I've printed hundreds of things without issue. Normally I do not relevel between prints, I just remove the plate, remove the print, put the plate back. No problems.

Last thing I printed had a lot of surface area and was large, so it took some doing to get it off the plate. I knew for sure the plate had shifted. OK, will relevel, no big.

My ideal z0 is right around 12mm below the home, so I usually home it, down 10, down 2, try to wiggle the plate, feels tight, tighten the screw and re-z0. Done it many times before no problem.

Now, however something is pretty screwy. When I try to relevel now, I get exactly 2 options:

Option A: Too high. I have my vat removed and am using an old FEP between the plate and glass. I get it tight, no wiggle. I tighten and re-z0. I do a test print as is (no vat in place, just that spare fep. The plate homes, and then starts "printing" at least 10 mm off the glass. This is not where I z0'd it.

Option B: Too low. Same technique as above. This time, the plate moves to the glass, and makes a hideous grinding noise for about 3 seconds. Prints actually come out OK this way but I assume something is going to wear out. This is again not actually where I z0'd it.

Those are the only 2 levels I can achieve now no matter how much I play with the stepping (maybe 11 down instead of 12, playing with the smallest increments, etc).

Occasionally when a print finishes now, it also overtravels up - instead of moving above the vat about halfway up the track and stopping, it moves all the way up the track, keeps going, is stopped by the blue thing on top, and again makes a hideous screeching for about 5 seconds before moving down a bit and pronouncing the print finished.

How do I fix this? Can I fix it?

(follow-up edit: running the config file and re-zeroing totally did fix this).

Question regarding screen maintenance: somehow, I got resin UNDER the vat (between the FEP and the screen) -- looks like a small hole in the FEP? Hard to say. Or leaked around the edge. Regardless, I had light-cured resin stuck on the screen (or, more appropriately, the glass protector of the screen). I was able to carefully pry it off with a delicate razor, and managed not to scratch the glass. But cleaning the leftover residue with 99% IPA has left that glass cloudy. What's a good way to clean that back to shiny?

Hey Folks,

Been throwing around an idea for the last month or so of building a 'DLP Beginner's Kit' for new players in the Photon game. While the stuff that comes with the printer lasted me a couple of days, I then spent a week waiting for orders of other stuff to arrive, like curing lights, paper filter funnels for resin, that sort of thing.

Currently planned inclusions:
1) BIG box of decent nitrile gloves.
2) 50-pack of 150 micron filter funnels for resin changes.
3) A decent quality knife or metal scraper for popping prints.
4) A couple of higher-quality USB drives pre-loaded with a resin mix g-code file and maybe a couple of my fun sample prints.
5) Safety glasses.
7) A 5m Roll of 12V UV LED strip to make a curing bucket.
8) Power Supply for the LED strip.

The things I'm not so sure on are:
* Mask with activated carbon cartriges.
* LED Nail Light instead of UV strip.
* Turntable for curing station.
* A sample bottle of ResinAway and/or PlateBond.

My main issue is that, being Australian, it's bloody hard to get the pricing competitive, so I'd be looking to provide something that was more about convenience factor than cheapest cost.

I'm just chasing feedback at the moment, wondering what people think of that packing list, and how much people would be willing to pay for a kit like that?

Thanks for the help!

"Imgur user "darkshark" presents a pretty convincing way to thwart the sensor: take a picture of a fingerprint off of an object like a wine glass, add some depth to it in 3D editing software, and then print it out on a 3D printer. Specifically, darkshark used the Anycubic Photon 3D printer, a resin stereolithography printer that can be had for under $450."

I am very happy to announce the second version of ESParaSite Data Logger!

v0.2 - Second Release - Bed Bugs- 2019-04-07
- Adds support for the BME280 Sensor (For Ambient Temperature, Temperature, Humidity and Altitude.)
- Nearly all code has been refactored! (I just love saying that) Since we are relying on 3rd party open source libraries,
each one is a bit different in how it behaves. Refactoring has prioritized standardization across the main functions and attempted to limit snowflakes to the functions that talk to the various sensor libraries.
- HTTP server re-created as RESTful api with JSON returns. (Currently GET only)
- Sensor data has been organized into 4 key groupings or "classes"
- Ambient - The room an environment in which the printer lives (Temp, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Altitude)
- Chamber - The printing chamber itself. (Temp, Humidity, Dewpoint)
- Optics - The LCD Screen and UV LED (UV, Visible light, IR light, LED Temp and LCD Temp)
- Enclosure - The base of the printer that contains the MainBoard and Optics (Temperature)
- All classes have a timestamp as part of the return value.

Check it out! (v 0.2 renders a lot of the documentation out of date, I will update ASAP!

Hey guys, I’ve *just* opened my Photon, and when I got to install step 3 it asked me to make sure the lcd screen is clear of dust. To my surprise it was shock full of dust and using a standard soft glasses wipe wouldn’t clean it. Some of those seem like scratches tbh. Should I panic, try some cleaner (IPA?) or just ignore and move on?

Edit: Problem solved, the dust was on the other side of the FEP. After following the hint below and removing the tank it was obvious. Phew :)

Hi there, people. I've been around for some time and finally decided to get a photon. But now, with the new photon s, I dont really know which one would be a better choice. I know the photon s has some improvements but the classic is still a good metallic machine. I am confused. Can anyone tell me which one should I buy?

I assume this is classic Z-wobble?

Okay okay stop asking I'll show you all of you asking what my light box is like, it's a simple plastic storage box lined with tin foil with a strip of UV lights in it. There's a glass sheet on disposable vegetable cups that I put the parts on.
