Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

Honestly I'm just using it with default settings and they've come out great for me

It's weird as I couldnt get anything out of anycubic black, but everything else works fine. 9 hours into a print using eryone clear, on 60, 8, 1 sec and 3 bottom layers and all looks good.

400 hours average, but it's a bell curve. some have managed to go for ~1000hours, while others have lost their screens at 200h

Nipuna Gunarathne thanks I was looking for AVG value, since I was not able to find one decisive answer in internet

It was mentioned on the Phrozen website, the LCD is basically the same across all 5.5" printers

Anycubic recommends about 6 months depending on usage. Not as helpful as number of hours used. For some folks, they die after 2 months, for others, like me, it has lasted 2 years and hundreds of prints.

Try releveling closer to the screen then you think it should be.

I am using the same resin and am having success with 10 layers at 90 seconds

Tom Howley I’ll have to try that instead

Robert Jeppesen I’ve been trying closer each time but I’m always worried about messing up the screen, usually just do the paper test. I’ll try going closer though for my next print.

i've heard that if your resin is too cold, it'll be difficult to get the resin to stick to the plate, try heating the plate before printing

like the build plate? With a lighter or something? I know that’s the case with filament I hadn’t heard that with resin, may be worth a shot ?

the plate... hair dryer

Right I just had never heard that before as far as resin goes, I’ll try it though.

James Richmond nice thanks for the link, my resin and plate should be in those perimeters already but I’m going to heat them a bit nonetheless to see what changes!

That's a bad LCD. I had a similar problem with my Photon Zero. ANYCUBIC after-sales support have sent me a new screen.

Daniel J Regan thanks for the response! I have already ordered a replacement but maybe I get a spare lol thanks for the information

Mine was DOA, and screens for the Photon Zero are not available for individual purchase. So support was my only option. Although I am worried because they mentioned they've sent a new 2K screen and the Zero only has a 480p screen. So time will tell. Haha.

Daniel J Regan best wishes!

8 seconds for .05 is way too low. Unless you have an S, then I don't know.

FEP tensioned properly?

if ur using anycubic green start with 10 layers at 80 seconds each then do .05 layers and 11 seconds each and adjust from there. I get great results with that.

i have an S and the FEP is tensioned at 120 mhz

edit* sorry its at 320mhz

Eric Causeway example

With the door closed and plate off, no vat. Print and film. If you have a s photon, go to detection select first box then play, repeat for each box

Eric Causeway I'm still very new, but was under the impression FEP was to be at 350hz

sorry i meant 320, im sick right now lol

Hoghead Hoffer I second this setting.

I think your issue come from here , set it to 5mm height ;) The other setting are fine, 8s for .50 is good , personally I'm at 6s and 2s off time , that's quicker and it's work pretty well ;)

thats been adjusted between 4-6 and its failed each time

Eric Causeway ok because on your pictures it's set at 0,40mm so the plate can't well unstick the layer with this distance ;)

base exposure up to 70 or 80

Yes, it typically just pops off. The glue you might be thinking of would probably just be dried resin that seeped in between the fep and the tension plate

Jayson Jacob Warren Ok so you should be able to open it like this? Even some of the plastic parts broke like they all were clued

Jayson Jacob Warren Like if they all were fused

Alfons Gunnesgård that does not look like it's supposed to be replaced.

Richard Humble So if you need to replace it you need to buy the whole thing with the plastic part?

Alfons Gunnesgård I guess so.

I just did mine yesterday, it was clean. And my Photon came with two feps, yours didn't?

This is a photon zero

Jason Turner You have the photon zero?

Alfons Gunnesgård oh sorry friend. I have the regular Photon.

But still, you should be able to change it. The FEP is a consumable.

Jason Turner yes thats why i thought it was strange

From the images, it looks like resin seeped in as you said and made it hard to separate.

Jason Turner Hum, i sent a ticket to anycubic, let's see what they say about it

Alfons Gunnesgård they are super awesome in their customer service. They helped me with an issue I was having. Great care

Jason Turner I hope they don't say that you shouldn't be able to open it and that I need to order a kit ? If so maybe i need to reglue it after i replace the fep?

Alfons Gunnesgård no, I wouldn't. You'll need to replace the FEP every now and then

Jason Turner So in the case of it's being sold as a unit(holder and fep). I can try to change the fep film, not glue it and see if it works(no leakage)?

Alfons Gunnesgård yes. With all those screws, the FEP acting as a gasket and the recessed track you screw the frame to, there shouldn't be any leaks

Jason Turner ok thank you

Alfons Gunnesgård my pleasure sir.

I wonder how many times you can remove the screws if they are screwed directly into the plastic

I bet that they will do the same as with the Elegoo Mars disposable trays

According to Anycubic advertising, it should be possible to change the fep film.

Janne Sjöström We got answer from anycubic, the fep and the holder is one pice and you need to order it as a kit

Janne Sjöström

Dåligt att det inte är som på Photon maskinerna att man bara kan byta filmen utan behöva köpa ett kit som fördyrar för kunden, sen är det frågan om det skulle det gå att använda Photon behållaren med lite modifiering. Har själv bara bytt FEP film en gång och har säkert kört upp 15 liter resin, filmen kan se hemskt ful ut men det funkar ändå.

Janne Sjöström Ja det är dåligt, håller på att designa en egen hållare där man ska kunna byta själv

Janne Sjöström

replacement, this looks bad

Thanks for the reply! I concur. I ordered a screen and it should be here Monday.
