Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

Well, I’ve took the plunge, bit the bullet and ordered a
UK ANYCUBIC Photon S SLA LCD 3D Printer UV Resin Light-Cure 2.8" TFT Dual Z-axis and it comes next Wednesday apparently.
Then the questions begin to flood the group. ? ?

Hi all. New to the group and 3D printing. Looking at a UK ANYCUBIC Photon S SLA LCD 3D Printer UV Resin Light-Cure 2.8" TFT Dual Z-axis off a well known auction site for £389. Is this a good starter printer for a newbie? I’m a Ham Radio operator and would be using it to make antenna parts. And I’m wanting to design my own stuff. I can program in G-Code if this helps.
All comments welcome.

Guys this is an SOS, the replacement LCD I got I ended up breaking trying to press the screenprotector onto it :( I am at witts end I need to order replacement LCD that already has protector attached on it, I placed order on anycubic and waited a week and when no response I emailed them and they got back to me and said item was out of stock and they would ship one once they have item in stock, not at all happy esp since they took payment for item that was out of stock..

I need somone that can recommend a supplier of the LCD that comes with protector pre installed and can ship expedited, I have orders waiting to be finished printed and am need to get my printer up and working ASAP.

Hey all, i was looking into updating the FW on my photon to the epax x1 lastest version. so i downloaded it into and put the 2 files onto the root, plugged it in the photon and it beeped a bunch of times.

Now its says in the info its the lastest 4.2.18 version.

i was under the impression i have to print the .lcd file then the .bin file after but it has not done that. Does any one know if it auto updates now? or have i done something wrong?

any helps appreciated.

Thanks.

Finally replaced my LCD screen, but now I have 2 new issues. The glass that the screen sits on shares the crack of the previous LCD, and seems to be causing a bright spot. Is that just part of life now? Also the screen doesn't have anything to hold it in place. Is that normal?

The test print came out fine, I'm just curious of this is something anyone else has run into.

Starting to see holes in my prints, at first I thought it was a support issue but now it's down to either the FEP or LCD. FEP replacement was already planned for this week but I'm expecting the worst case scenario. With that in mind, can someone link a reliable replacement LCD?

Hello everyone! As a designer, artist and overall tinkerer, I always found 3D printing fascinating but daunting while also frowning at the finish of FDM printers (which are typically the most affordable and wide-spread). However after seeing Daniel Feeney 's true-scale Iron Warriors (big miniature nerd here) and consequently discovering the Photon I started educating myself in LCD-SLA printing and 3D printing in general.

After dealing with numerous materials, sculpting and replication techniques, something like the Photon is like a creator's wet dream.

That being said, while *very* affordable, especially with the current deal, I found out about it at a time where the wallet is a bit dry, ahah! I was wondering, can someone tell me how often does Anycubic have this sort of promotions? And any other tips or considerations when getting into the Photon or this sort of 3D printing?

Thank you

Hey photonsters, I’ve got a tip to try. I was feeling too cheap to pay for the twin rail upgrade, so while I was swapping my LCD tonight I thought I’d try a free upgrade with some spare parts I had lying around. I tapped a hole (Make sure it’s a tight fit) through the case lip at the top into the top of the z rail and ran an m3 screw through to anchor the top of the z rail to the case. It made for a DRAMATIC improvement in the rigidity of the z rail. Test prints will have to wait till tomorrow night since I still need to swap my fep as part of this maintenance cycle and it’s late, but at least it’s some food for thought for people!

P.s. I was expecting to have to notch the lid for it to be able to close and somehow I got lucky and it worked out not needing it! Mileage may vary.

Question for anyone that ordered from AnyCubic...

I ordered a new LCD panel and 5 pack of FEPs. Before I ordered I emailed them and asked how long it would take to be delivered to my location and they said 3-5 business days. I thought that was great so I placed my order. It's been a week now and I don't even have a tracking number yet. How long has it taken others who ordered directly from them?
