Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

Hello! I've had my Photon for ~5 weeks and today it stopped mid-print. Now, the Z motor, fans, and USB reader are non-functional. LCD seems fine, touchscreen works and buttons beep when pressed. However, the rest of the printer is non-functional. I've logged a help ticket with Anycubic. In the meantime, anyone here experience anything similar?

Hi everyone,

Looking for some help please!

So my machine arrived. ?
I set it up as per the instructions.
Levelled the bed with a sheet of paper, also levelled the machine itself.

Stuck the USB pen in that came with the machine and it refuses to read it.
So i put that usb pen in my computer and it reads fine. Copied the photon.photon file onto a couple mord usb pens i have and went back to the machine. After a couple of attempts i got one of them to load the test model.

Loaded the model a then poured the contents of the resin bottle that came with the machine into the vat.

Set it away and everything appeared to be going well.
The layer appears on the screen, as does thr percent complete and the current slice number.

It had roughly 1400 slices, i left the machine to run on it’s own and came back after about 500 layers,
Id set up a webcam and had been watching each layer, the bed moves up after each layer, then back down, as i would expect it to.
After the 500ish layers the bed was now sufficiently far out of the bed that i could see that nothing has stuck to the bed.
I could see through the liquid resin that the lcd screen was showing the current layer so im pretty confident that the screen isnt the issue.
At this point i cancelled the print.

I havent cleaned it out yet, but i can see that only a couple of layers have cured and appear to be in the bottom of the vat. There is nothing floating around in there.

Any ideas why this print might have failed?
Bed not level?
Bad batch of resin?
Just a failed print and i need to start again and get used to this happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello everyone so I have come across my first problem with the photon. I have nothing showing when I run the uv light test, it is completely black. I was wondering what could be the problem the LCD screen or something else. I have not replaced the LCD screen and it worked perfectly fine on the last print. If anyone has any ideas on what it could be feel free to let me know. Thank you.

This is the monocure calibration test
Settings
.04, 10, 6.5, 110, 10

Before the LCD replacement these settings were fine.
I'm assuming the new LCD is different.

Layer separation says not enough normal Exposure but the detail looks like a mix of too much exposure?

So, I got my 2nd Photon. First one was blue with floating lead screw. this one is yellow, different knob and a blue-er screen. guess they got complaints on the older touchscreen.. mine is 'bubbling' on the side (1st machine).. might be the plastic protector, but I can't get it off. Also different power supply, but we'll see how long this one lasts. Seems to be a better quality control on setting/placing the LCD screen. I'm still keeping the plastic on the windows though. Also as a side note, anycubic resin is thick like molasses. I've been using a different resin that's like water in comparison

Third print and having issues. First print - the cube - worked great. Second print (a space marine, seen behind the BOS model) also worked great. Moved onto the gray resin and I have this weird issue. I tried printing 5 minis at once across the plate and these two are the only ones that weren't pools of solidified resin in the vat. For these two, the supports printed fine, but parts of the model didn't.

I cleaned the vat out and wiped the surfaces with 99.9% IPA before printing. I can see tiny scratches on the film of the vat after using a microfiber cloth; the instruction manual says to use a paper cloth so I assume that's normal and okay?

I've re-levelled the bed using the paper method and will give it another go tomorrow morning, but has anyone experienced this issue before?

Also, what are the signs of needing to replace the FEP film or LCD screen?

Thanks in advance
