Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » STL

Okay here's my problem. On my laptop, when I try to open a stl or slice a file he Photon slicer closes. I try it on my desktop it works fine. The easy solution slice everything on the desktop. But, I would like to figure this problem out as it does the same thing with cura and my other printers. It has to be a setting on my laptop that is causing this. It is not the antivirus as I have shut it off and still does the same thing. Any ideas are welcome.

Anyone got Steampunkish mini figure/bust STLs?

I’m getting this residual print stuff on the bottom of my fep after every print. I’ve had mostly bad prints but one good one. But even on the good one it had this residual on the bottom. Using a anycubic photon. Settings from Stefano Reale(guy from bluecast fb group - settings in photos) Anyone have any ideas? Maybe replace the fep? Seems pretty good as far as clarity. I just re-leveled the bed again before this print as well. Using bluecast x10. Heated the bottle in warm/hot water before shaking for one min. Strained through filter to get bubbles out. Primed my build plate, up cured for 5 mins.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Could I make a suggestion?
I love reading the conversations and looking at the finished prints on here, but more often then not a .STL, or a link, is buried in the thread for the print itself.
I think it would be beneficial to everyone if the .STL or url for the print be posted in the OP.

Aye, nay, fuggoff?

Don't know what everyone has under and in their printer workstations. I've mostly seen trays and had trays everywhere myself. I saw a video where Uncle Jessy had a custom silicone mat and I figured there had to be something similar out there. Enter the very large, very cheap silicone baking mats. I ordered one to try and it's so so much better than the trays I had before. I now have them under my 2 photons and cleaning station. Just wipe clean with IPA and a shop towel or after all the work is done shine a UV flood light and simply pick up and pooled resin. Such a quality of life upgrade, I'd thought I'd share.

So 3/4 this time. On the left a figure half completed. The others came out mostly fine.

.05 layer thickness
10 normal exposure
1 off time
65 bottom exposure
8 bottom layers
6 z lift distance

Anything else you need?

Printing my first, a Hero Forge custom mini.
Couldn't read the supplied USB. Couldn't update the firmware from 2.9.9. Couldn't read an *.stl. Fumbled my way through Blender, Photon Workshop 2.1.19 RC1, and finally Chitubox to get a sliced *.photon file my machine would read.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but wanted a proof of concept to see if the thing works.

Then I'll study the posts on this group like I'm trying to pass the bar and scale the learning curve with spiked boots.

Hey Folks, I've been lurking for a while reading up on everything before i start printing. I have a few questions about some of the settings in Chitubox.

I've read the reference data sheet for the Anycubic White resin that ill be using and cant seem to find any reference to certain settings. Mostly the ones on the right side. Should i be worried about any of these?

Also, I'm pretty much only going to be printing D&D minis, any advice on settings that worked for you and advice on how to place them before printing?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, New... I just ordered the Photon (non-s) for super cheap. I'll be ordering resin and a few other things from Amazon shortly. This is all very foreign to me. I'm a huge mini painter, and own tons (which is what prompted me to order the 3d printer). I can't afford to keep spending retail prices for existing minis...

I've watched some setup videos, and reviews, and here I am... Still a bit confused about a few aspects of which I have no experience.

Few questions:

Venting is a must. I've existing 4" vent tubing to the exterior of my house (sitting unused for a vent hood I never installed). My plan is to purchase an inline fan (4" variety) and run the end of the vent hose to the back of the printer. I've seen some 4" flanges on Amazon cheap, similar to what I've seen people "printing" on other machines to use. Does this sound viable? How big is the rear vent area?

Slicing? I've no experience here. I just downloaded Chitubox? So I'll import files into this? and then do some modification to the files, put them onto a flash drive which I plug into the printer? Can someone link me to a good video or instructions on what is involved in prepping a file?

I'd like to print off models to use in D&D games, and have heard there's a ton of free content available. I'd like to create a "personal use" library of minis to print. Where do I look?

Lastly, I am planning to snag the Photon Anycubic resin, unless there's another suggestion?

Any other advice or directions would be greatly appreciated.

ps. I looked for some of the answers to these questions, but there was so much it became hard to find the answers in one place.

And to see where my minis will be used, check out the TV gaming table I built recently :)

Hey all! I could use some help diagnosing why I'm seeing what I'm currently calling "ghost supports" on my prints. Here's the usual info:

Anycubic Photon S: Zbrush *.stl -> Chitubox (for supports) *.stl -> Photon Workshop (for Slicing and settings, and to produce a *.pws, which is the only file type my Photon S is currently recognizing. My settings are attached.I'm using Elegoo Grey Resin, but I don't suspect this is a resin issue.

Even in my sliced files, I was noticing some strange spots that look almost like artifacting in either white or black that appear to continue up through the slices of the model, which aren't present in the support preview, but do appear to be showing up on my prints. I can see them in slicing previews from either Chitubox or Photon Workshop, and I think they may be what's showing up as extra columns of support-like structures throughout my prints (circled in red). Once they touch the main figure, they appear to stop. (ie: the LED doesn't have pixels that are simply stuck in an "on" setting)

Any help on diagnosing what they are and how to get rid of them would be very much appreciated, thanks!
