Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

my LED screen went out for the first time after about 5 or 6 liters of resin and while trying to replace the screen I broke the glass underneath the LCD screen...

I used a heat gun for several minutes to try and help release the adhesive and it was still stuck in there incredibly well. Anyone have a link to purchase a replacement or is there anything special about the glass? I could probably just get a piece cut to size locally.

Are there any aftermarket lcd screens available for the Photon offering 4K or any resolution better than the stock screen? Wondering if this would help fine details get printed even more cleanly

The past several weeks, over on the Phrozen groups, a rash of premature LCD failures in the Shuffle machines have been reported.

The LCD failures were Initially downplayed by Phrozen, and some owners, as being due to user failure instead of an inherent design flaw.

Phrozen has finally acknowledged that it is likely a combination of both factors by publishing some tips on how to prevent LCD damage on the Shuffles.

How does this affect the Photon? Both machines share similar designs; a UV light engine through an LCD mask. The main differences being that the Shuffles use a higher wattage UV LED array (Paraled) and unprotected LCD screens versus the Photon with a low wattage single source UV reflector cone and tempered glass protected LCD screens.

In comparison to the Shuffles, the Photons hardly suffer from premature LCD failures. Therefore based on the differences above, one can conclude it is probably due to less heat build up, and less mechanical stress on the Photon LCD screens.

The tips to help prevent LCD damage published by Phrozen can also be applied to help extend the already long lifespans of the Photon LCDs.

They are :

1. Avoid "rapid" curing resin. Abnormally high heat generated by very fast curing resins can cause permanent damage and dead pixels on the LCD.

2. Avoid resins that require very long initial (bottom) layer exposures. Again, high heat exposures will damage the LCD.

3. Keep resin, FEP and build plate clean at all times. Always check if the build plate, resin in vat and FEP film are free from cured resin before printing or leveling. This will help prevent mechanical (pressure) damage to the LCD.

4. Do not clean the FEP film with the vat on the LCD. Pressure from a scraper can cause permanent damage to the LCD. Remove the vat from printer before you clean the FEP film of stuck prints.

Sacrifice moar! Photonia thanks you.

Does anyone have an idea about this problem? Looks like at a specific layer, lcd stopped working and then continued as normal. Notice all supports and other stuff has been cut at the same level? What may have caused this issue. I was able to print fine before and now this started.

I have other failed prints like this and they all end up same but not at the same layer height.

I received a replacement printer from Amazon (first one had a lot of problems with biggest being the LCD cable needed to be reseated regularly and would go on the fritz mid print). I got a much better test print off the new printer. The z-axis sounds "crunchy" and I do see some repeating layer lines on the z (can't get a good photo of them). After reading here, I'll try doing the z-axis adjustment per the Anycubic video. But overall, this is much better. One quick IPA rinse, then blown off with compressed air and 15 minutes in UV.

My Photon won’t be lonely anymore. I really wanted to be able to print resins that won’t work with LCD so needed something that could pack a punch. Took me 4.5 hours to assemble to this point, and was fun and not difficult.

Hello everyone, it seems like that one or two layers of my cube was "moved" in XY direction. I have checked the slicer data and there is no wrong in each layer. Is that a bug of LCD-Programm?

Silly question. I noticed tonight that I have what appears to be moisture under the vat and on the LCD. So I take the vat off, drain it, check the LCD...there is moisture but it does not feel like resin. I clean it up with IPA, make sure it is spotless and dry. Drain the VAT, verify that is clean both top and bottom and dry. I use my air compressor to make sure the bottom is really dry. Fill it with IPA and lit it sit on a blue paper towel. No leaks and no moisture is appearing on the paper towel. I put the VAT back in, run a 15 min print of some bases for miniatures and come back to it looking like it is wet on the LCD. Remove the vat and again there is moisture there. What am I missing. I replaced my FEP yesterday.

Is there an internal fuse, etc. on the Photon? I was printing this afternoon when the power went due to several lightening strikes. I turned the printer off and unplugged it ASAP. Now when I turn it on the display comes on and is responsive but none of the fans, the motor or the UV LCD come on. I can see a red LED on at the back of the unit. Any hints or suggestions?

Hey guys,I was looking thru Amazon and came across a new resin printer EPAX X1 UV LCD 3D Printer it looks a lot like the new Photon S with some new improvements the price looks good also...what do you think?
