Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » LCD

Hello Guys, Proud owner of a new brand new photon. Quick story short, I mounted everything, leveled the bed etc. and when I got to the LCD detection bit, it was nowhere near a "rectangle", more like a Line with artifacts popping on the sides. (see video "Before") Afterwards I tried the following test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlUkhSZafKw which was a complete disaster.. Not even close. At this point I was about to give up, faulty LCD, time to return it.. Had to try 1 more time, this time, for some odd reason, the test worked flawlessly (see video "After") Tried the test on YouTube again, worked like a charm, albeit it always stopped at 50% for some reason… (stopped at 50% even when it failed, so it must be something with the test I figured..) Consecutive tests all ended with good results, so yea, any idea what happened here? 翻譯年糕

Sooo... I'm trying out ChiTuBox and have a question... based on some posts in this group, I believe that 6.5 if a good time-off for the LCD when printing. I can't find a definitive place in ChiTuBox where I can set this. This isn't "Light-off Delay" or "Bottom Light-off Delay" is it?

And... are there any other settings I should be aware of? Anything to watch out for?

BTW... the support generation (at least the auto-support) seems a HELL of a lot better in this slicer!

Thanks in advance

S o - Kapton tape - what's the best way to apply it to the LCD bed? Ie: any specific side first? S o - Kapton tape - what's the best way to apply it to the LCD bed? Ie: any specific side first? 翻譯年糕

Is there a consensus on what the best LCD screen replacement off Amazon US is by any chance?

Ok, here we go!! I just finished a print and started another one. Upon loading the new file and hitting the start button, nothing happened. I then tested to see if the LCD is working,,,nothing. I then attempted to raise and lower the z axis using the appropriate icons in the tools section.....nothing happens, except a very very very slow movement of the Z axis. I then replaced the power supply with a known good supply that runs my FDM machines. Still nothing. Next, I reinstalled the firmware, when that did nothing, I went back to the very first firmware that came with the machine...still nothing. Not even the Photonsters firmware made a difference or even the EPAX 1 software. I believe I have pretty much covered all of the bases necessary to get this running again. Any suggestions outside of what I have already tried would be appreciated. All of the startup screens come up normally, but that is the end of normal.

Hey all...i just looked closesly at the Fep while printing with the Photon S (latest FW) and realized that the "exposure off time" settings doesn't take the travel time of the platform between each layers into account..my the platform takes 6 seconds to raise and go back down into the fep ... with the 6.5 secs exposure off, the actual off time is 12,5 sec..are the extra 6.5 secs needed to let the lcd cool down, or i can set it to 1 secs and save on print time? Thx in advance for your help

I'm on about week 4 of Photon downtime. First the LCD sprouted dark spots and had to be replaced. After I swapped in the new one, the front screen didn't respond to touch. I think I probably pinched the cable when putting the case back together & went to Anycubic's site to look for a replacement cable, but they didn't list one. I opened a support ticket to ask if a cable could be purchased separate from the touch screen assembly, and they were nice enough to send me a replacement cable and screen even though I specifically stated the problem was of my own making.

So the new parts arrived today and I started off by swapping out the cable.

No display at all.

Swapped out the front screen.

No display at all.

Tried the old cable on both displays.

Nothing.

I'm not sure what's going on at this point. The mainboard still beeps when it's powered on, so there's _something_ going on there, but I'm not really sure what to try next.

Hey everyone, having trouble flattening and leveling my build plate. I've tried both with and without vat in methods.

The issue seems to be that one side is closer to the lcd than the other. With paper method, the right side can be pushed in while the left side of the paper stays nice and snug. I have to go down about .3mm to get the right side as tight as the left, and I'm worried the left will be too low.

Is this really anything to worry about or am I going nuts?

Should I re-level the build -plate after using Kapton tape to seal the edges of the LCD? If so, do I need consider where I place the paper when getting the spacing right? Before taping I covered the whole screen with the paper. Now the spacing will be odd because of the tape on the edges, tape overlapping in the corners, etc. Do I need to avoid the corners where the tape is doubled up?

As always, thanks for all of your tips!

Ok. This is driving my crazy. Three new motherboards and three new screens and the same problem. The screen displays nothing during the test. Solid black display. Is there something special I’m supposed to do with new screens before installing? The transparent clear protective film can’t be the issue. I’m stumped. the only indication of an error is LCD error code: T_100 when starting a print. Anycubic support just suggests yet another motherboard. Argh!
