Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

I'll check it out! I'm still using the anycubic slicer but I've heard great things about chitubox!

possible to get the stl? love it! great work!

Marco Schmitz Thank you, I'm glad that you liked the work! Unfortunately I do not give stl, it is important for me to preserve the uniqueness of the work.

How much to make a custom design for me ?

That is some great work!

Beatiful work! I've been following your posts and thanks for tips :)

Another great job.... Congrats!!

Omg this is the cutest thingbive ever seen

Amazing work!

I'd like to know more about the process of creation of the eyes :o how did you do them?
They are WONDERFUL!

WOW! This is totally amazing work! Be proud of this! ?? ?? ?? ?

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Gold Walker , Do you mean 3D model, or complete creature?

Dmitry K Valberg Thanks!

Rastko Stanojevic thank you very much, I appreciate that!!

Luis de la Peña Thank you!!

Sargent Raze Thanks :)

Michael Fieweger Thanks! I always try my best! :)

Francesco Ostili Oh, they're made from 2 separate parts. Clear hemisphere and iris part. and then they're glued with clear resin.

Ingemar Rååd Thank you very much!

Vera Ermakova but are they 3D printed? :O

Francesco Ostili Yeah, they are :)

How did you create that effect (the iris) with the resin?
Did you mesh differet colour?

I heard you were going to release a tutorial. am I wrong?

Francesco Ostili Iris - is separate part, which I paint manually, before glue it with hemisphere.

I told that I could make a tutorial someday, but currently I have no time for that...

Awesome work!!!!!
You are amazing!!

Pedro Torres Thank you so much!!

Vera Ermakova yes

From Russia with love, amazing colour and detail. You are truly gifted artist. ??

That still looks like some amazing detail though. Good job!

Mind blown

I'm over here printing decent goblins and feeling good about myself. You are making works of art!

Not sure what it is but it is awesome.

Congrats .. Breathtaking ;)

Michael Inwood thank you :)

Ernest Sandridge Ill , Thank you!!!

Chad Weber , Thanks!!

Josh Tollison , thank you! I am really trying to make the art :)

Marcin Brodowski , thank you very very much!!

Gold Walker Sooo... Yes - what you mean exactly? :)

Vera Ermakova I mean to create the STL file I can print myself sorry

Gold Walker Well , that depends of many things :) So you can message me to clarify things.

Vera Ermakova I have sent PM

Why is it whenever I feel like I'm below avg at something. Stuff like this really makes me realize how far into the ground I am at stuff lol this is just beautiful in every possible aspect!

It is awesome, but if it's the first 3d thing they sculpted and they did it with mudbox, the first 3d program they used, how did they know that it has less features than z-brush?

Потрясающая работа, завораживающе красиво. Изумительная идея и исполнение. Спасибо!

Beautiful work (y)

Dave Dewees , Thanks! I shared this work now, but it doesn't mean this is the last work ;) I've been using ZBrush for half of a year now :)

Hutch Heberer , Thank you very much!

Sol Aris Огромное спасибо! :)

I took a moment to google for you:

03 and 04 are absolutely identical according to the data sheets, they only differ in the connection cable (for the 04 there is a 90 ° adapter, then this also fits):

This works:

Bernhard Redlich thanks Bernhard

Bernhard Redlich my lcd screen got dead pixels. Waiting for Anycubic to send me a replacement, but it had being almost 3 weeks and shipping still not reach me. So thinking to get a spare one for future.

Need more height?

Not specifically, weighing up my options at the moment. Just know that I want a second resin printer

Chris Carter cool. That’s where I’ve been coming short is height

I got a Qidi Shadow recently. It's functionally almost identical to the Photon (and in fact the build plate assembly seems to be exactly the same), except it's got a nice rugged dual Z axis like the Photon S. Vats are size compatible with the regular a nd S Photons, Mars, and Epax X1. I discovered completely by accident that it will happily print a *.photon file in addition to the native *.cbddlp, so the Photon software tool chain still works perfectly. I'm happy enough with it that I ended up selling my Photon to a friend on the cheap so he could get started with resin printing.

I also have a QIDI Shadow and have had no issues.

What's the advantages of the Shadow over say the Mars? Just had a quick Google and it is considerably more expensive. Not that the price is a problem just wondering what is on offer for the price

Wait for next gen, monochrome screen, bigger buildplate models, like Epax 133 or 156

I love my photon s .... Just one time I set Z and everything works perfect... Maybe I sell fdm printers and buy more resins printers

phrozen sonic mini would be my next buy. :)

Mark Wardle I admit I'm tempted by the speed of printing

its not the speed i am interested in its the mono screen that will last for a long time. :)

Well it all boils down to what type of volume you want and quality. Research all your options lots of info out their. I’m looking at a phrozen Transform or preoply phenom.

I have a G3D T-1000 with a print volume that is enormous and the speed is ridiculous. My Anycubic would be printing for hours (5+) for something I can print in twenty minutes on the T-1000. My issue is, I can't figure out how to keep it working. The re are so many great features-no dealing with FEP, huge build volume, speed, etc. The software is crap and the servo motor is a baby. Needs an onboard control panel as it's controlled via UI now. For plug and play, the Photon is great. If you have the expertise and want to churn out a hundred prints a day, the T-1000 would be ideal.

T-1000 build size/speed

I use the photon file validator on my sonic mini

Go larger, definitely go larger, always good to have the option ready, if you see my recent post on the size of the model you would agree to go larger ?

Wait for elegoo saturn

I have it. I had a Photon. I'll never buy a slow printer again. I was in the market for the Transform, as I wanted a large resin printer. No more. Now I'm waiting until the tech they have in the Sonic Mini comes to a bigger form factor. Seriously, guys, it prints 3-4 TIMES faster. It's crazy.

Ben Bequer I feel ya. I love my photon, but 10-12 hour builds definitely hurts.

Danny Bloemendaal I finally got my Transform and so far I love it. The massive build plate opens up a lot of fun new options

That’s what I am looking for. Taking my time as pandemic has upset everything so I am rebuilding my business model around it for printing.

I would wait until this new tech in the Sonic Mini (speed, longer-lasting screen) comes to a larger sized printer. As of right now, the slower printers are an older tech. Give it 6 months and there'll be Transform/Phenom-sized fast printers. Instead of days, you print in hours. At present, I'm printing a tray full of minis for my Imperial Guard (about 8 minis) in 2 hours.

I do like my Sonic Mini, it's about 7hr to print the full 130mm z height.

Kempster Kevin that would be very nice about now, I just did a full height 17hr print in my Photon. I'm eyeing up a Sonic Mini now just trying to check out what Import Duties I might get stung with.

Ben Bequer Check Phrozen Sonic 4K XL

Lol, I thought it was cheese

I had something similar and what I discovered was that a job would complete but then the next would fail because of resin left on the fep from the successful one. Not 100% cured but enough to make it fail.

Turned out the LCD was failing and was Curing a 'shadow' on the fep between layers when it should have been dark.

Changed the screen and it was fixed, improvement in print quality too!

That might be it. I've also emptied the vat and the fep looked fine. This is the exposure test

I think my screen failed. I turned it off and back on again and then it was acting normal...? That's so weird

Benjamin Matthew Harding mine looked fine on the exposure test but it was clesrly letting UV through when it shouldn't have.

Hmmm.. what's weird for me is it wasn't doing any uv light and then after turning it off and back on, it showed up again. If this doesn't print then I'll have to get a new screen for sure

If your screen is old (mine was 14 months old with no dead areas) you may be best doing it anyway, the improvement in print quality very noticeable!

It's only 3.5 months old, as I got it for a Christmas gift for myself.

Hmmmm, there is no saying how long each one lasts. I've heard of people having them degrade in that time though. I was just lucky.

Dang. Well thanks for your advice. We'll see what happens

Benjamin Matthew Harding Good luck,

Corona.

Hey Scott. I also had a service ticket open plus I ordered a new LCD screen. I just received contacted in the last couple days. The person from anycubic said that they apologized for the delay but they aren't able to have as many people working to make the products so there is a shortage.

Kathy Oettle thanks. I assumed something like that but one would think they would put at least some kind of notice on the website. I just went ahead and ordered a new screen. Hopefully it won't take too long to get. I'm having printer withdrawals!!!

Same here, I have been trying to get a new Lcd for two weeks.

I kind of thought something like this might happen and it’s understandable but a little more communication would’ve been nice.

3rd attempt, redid file each time

how's the lcd look when testing

I took the vat out and it looked like it was working properly, ran the file without the vat

Jason James Grubb could it be a bad thumb drive maybe, I was getting layers on my prints, like a film across the entire print

Jason James Grubb the rest are in the vat

are you using the original usb? if so its that.

Nathan Kopp I changed that out long ago

What is the deal w the original usb? I haven't had an issue with it. I tried to upgrade based on this group but I got one that was too big for FAT32 apparently. Said piss on it, been rocking the cheap og one ever since

ya i rocked it for a while until it failed at random times during the print

Could be pigment separation. Make sure you shake the bottle good and if you leave the resin in the vat for an extended time, stir it well.

I'll have a try!
Never thought about it.

Try using 3-in1 Multi-purpuse PTFE Lubricant on the inside botton of your vat. You can find a how to video on youtube. Basically just rub a fine coat on the bottom of the vat and it helps prevent resin sticking. If it does stick it is a lot easier to clean up.
