Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » USB

I've had this a few times on.the standard anycubic, try pressing the up.and down buttons when selecting files and see if they appear

1st, we need to know what printer...and check the firmware version. If 3.xx you need to upgrade to 5.0x. This was common to have a USB from any cubic to contain files not compatible with as shipped firmware.

My geekstick that came with the photon S had the test file in a folder. I copied it to the top level (i.e. not in a folder) and the unit could read it.

Thanks all. I installed the UI and drivers using the included stick and then I was able to see the files on my printer. I dont understand why my brand new 32G Samsung USB stick wont work. But both the included USB stick and the separate USB stick I got as a freebie from some company work fine. Here is a link to the USB stick that is not working. https://www.amazon.com/....../ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin......

Rob Reitnauer I have this same usb drive and it works on my photon ?‍♂️

How many files are on your drive. I have an issue where I cant have more than 3-4 files on my drive at anyone time or it can't see them. Wierd bug. But as long as I stay basically below 800mb-1gb it doesn't have a problem.

Try a different file. If not try a different slicer

Maybe a corrupt file I always check slice layer by layer...

Reformat your USB

Stuart Finesilver i did that also

David Cornell i will try. Thanks

Did u have models hanging off the build plate somewhere in the slicer? I got this when I had a duplicate sitting out of sight in the background off the build plate

Also, does the print time seem unreasonably longer than normal?

Casey Frank no, all was clear and only inserted one piece to print. Was a print of 12 hours. The sliced model looked good, i checked the layers

Casey Frank well i noticed a different between the time that chitubox gave (9+ hours), and the Photon S itself (12+ hours)

Can the current firmware support chitubox?

Can u recall this problem start to happen after u started doing something different? Like did it start right after u got new usb?

Casey Frank no, 26% of the print time. And why i realy dont know. I have printed last days different items and did have that problem a few times. The sliced model i checked.

Jurjen de Quelerij so u have dif usb, have u used dif slicer?

Casey Frank no all the same slicer amd the same usb

And I see u mentioned u check every layer, it may really just be a firmware problem

Oh

Try dif usb

It is the latest firmware version

Casey Frank yes i will

Does ur usb have connection issues?

Casey Frank no not that i know of

The white usb can with my photon s started having connection issues

I think cheapest solution first, try dif slicer and if it still shows, try reformat usb or buying new one

Casey Frank i know that the white one is bad so i bought a new one.

I will reformat it first. What is a good other slicer?

Keep us updated if it still shows

Jurjen de Quelerij I really like photon workshop that comes with it

Casey Frank i will do so and i will also try it with Workshop.

Unless u chances the file name from RERF, all 8 should be with different layer time and thereby have different rate of details?? There file is to determine the exposure time for your specific resin.

I got my Photon S the other day and this was the only file there at first too. If you plug the usb stick into a computer the lattice cube file should be in one of the folders if you want to give that a go as well. It just needs to be in the root of the drive and not in a folder to be seen.

Although, if one of those came out as just a flat square like I'm seeing on the photo, I'm pretty sure that's not good. This print tests your resin UV exposure to make sure it's all good for your printer, as required time to cure varies from brand to b rand. You basically pick out the best looking one and adjust the UV exposure by the number on it under the dimple board and above the Anycubic name. There's supposed to be 8 of them.

It’s possible it came lose. You have to disassemble the entire unit. But it could also be a bad board. I had to replace mine.

already did that, plugging in the USB directly to the mainboard did not work either. and of course i ripped the ribbon cable off the LCD while i was at it... ? but thx for the input

Peter Gross the motherboard probably went bad. They shipped me a new one and I swapped it out in about 15 minutes and now it’s up and running great

i was hoping for that but now they don't process my ticket and deleted my account grrr

You can't print an STL file, when you slice it with the correct settings for your printer, you will have a different type of file saved by the software

If you have the photon printer then you need to save them from the slicing software to the USB stick as a .photon file. The printer should recognize it then.

Thank you. I saved the Photon file but I must have copied the stl file to the USB. I decided to give up for the day but will try it again tomorrow.

Thank you. I did save the Photon file but I must have coped the STL instead of the Photon to the USB drive. Will give it another try tomorrow.

Happened to me few days ago, I turned it on and off few times and it suddenly reads properly again since ?

Yes turning off and waiting for a few minutes fixes it.

I think I may have fixed it. The newest file was crashing the software. So unplugged and turned back on. Loaded the original Photon cube file, loaded fine.

My file was only 595KB, sliced at 0.1mm layer height. So not very large file. Then resliced at 0.075mm layer height, file size 768KB. That file
worked.

Appears to have a minimum file size limit.

One of your files has a duplicate model overlapping. Delete all and remake.

Best to only slice in multiples of 0.01mm. Search for 'microstepping' for an explanation why.

Bob Deblier 0.1mm is 10x 0.01mm, so it is a multiple

William Lui but 0.075 isn't.

i have printed this testfile, but cant see realy a differnce between the 8 pieces. in my opinion they are all ok ? ?

Uli Sazma they shouldn't all look the same, sure you sliced it right, called it correct file name etc, some should be under exposed, if you sure you done it right, lower the cure time on the first square.

This the one I use: https://drive.google.com/....../1r....../view

This is the one I use for my Raspberry Pi Zero W, btw, I don't know if it will work with any other type

Thanks so much, exactly what I need.
