I have been using the USB drive that came with my Photon for printing. Folks say not to trust it, but my other USB drives (all FAT32 just like the supplied one) won't work.

Has anyone who has had this problem figured how to solve it? (In an emergency, I can get the Photon to read the memory card from my audio recorder, but it's a cumbersome solution.)

FYI, I'm using a Mac.

It's alive! Aliiiiive!!!

At last I've finished my old KLD YHD-101 upgrade. Well, more than an upgrade as only the metal frame remains from the original.

The beast is made out of:

- KLD YHD-101: metal frame

- Wanhao D7: upgrade kit (Z axis)

- Anycubic Photon: motherboard

- Epax X1-DJ: LED array.

+ adding USB port, Omron optical sensor, front touch screen and side fan (was supposed to be inside the printer, but I had to move it outside because of the huge led array), and modify the Gcode to enhance the Z height up to 17cm.

Adding to than I've made an upgrade to the D7 platform because I was bored to remove resin from the flat top each time.

Now it's time to print ;)

More failures and frustration. At least this time the failure is slightly different.

New USB Stick - original had some sort of fault / error in it.

Started Printing again to see if that was the issue. And the prints are stopping mid-print again - but in a different fashion.

Whereas before the print would fail, and the plate would stay down, and the screen would be back to main menu -
Now the plate will come up (as if the model is done printing) while the screen still shows print in progress. (96% in one print which had 5 successes and 3 failures now), and one print that stopped 55% through.

What do I check next?

Short Version: Please help me with a memory m_11800 error. If you've overcome this error please tell me how you were able to fix it. I'm also open to suggestions for other things to try. Finally what firmware should I use if I update it? Anycubic.com has two listed V5.0.2 and V4.2.19, which firmware should I use? My photon currently has V4.2.12
Long Version: Hello there folks, I started with the anycubic photon this wednesday and definitely had a couple of days of that sweet sweet honeymoon before slamming into problems. Namely I had a print stop mid print with an error code (because I'm foolish I didn't record what it was but I have a sneaking suspicion) and since then I can't get anything to work. I've had over prints not sticking to the plate, many many memory errors and finally I've contacted anycubic support, but I would like your opinions in the meantime as I await a response from them.

Fixes and troubleshooting I've tried:
I did what I thought was best so I opened up the photon docs on the photonsters github and got to troubleshooting.:

First thing's first, I ditched the stock usb to use a much better one that I had on hand, 8gb, fat32 etc. However this still resulted in a failed print with a memory error.

Next, I removed the usb stick and did a power cycle for the printer. This allowed me to do a full resinless print (no resin in the vat) so I could double check that the usb could be read. It seemed to work fairly well, the photon went through the entire print without a memory error. With resin however my next print did not stick to the plate at all, I checked my FEP tension, found it was at 280 Hz according to an audio analyzer, releveled the build plate and checked everything again without resin. It seemed much better, I tightened the FEP to 300 Hz just in case and tried again. After which, with resin in the vat, the next couple prints failed with a memory error m_11800, however the failed prints are sticking to the plate and even filtering the vat and checking the FEP all is clear in the vat. However the memory error is still very annoying. I figured it could be PSU related because the first time and last time I had a memory issue while printing if I moved the PSU at all it would disconnect the mains from the adapter via the adapter's plugin. So I zip-tied the two together, removed my UV lamp from the powerbar (when I turn it on it messes with my regular lamp so I know it doesn't play nice with the other devices plugged in). I also decided to try with the usb stick plugged directly into the motherboard to minimize any potential issues. Memory error. M_11800 again. So I started a support ticket and here I am now.

What should I try next? 翻譯年糕

Hello, NEED HELP !!! I just bought my 2nd photon printer not knowing it was an S and had a whole different software and file system.. I had no problems with my 1st one and have printed well over 50 different things on it with no issues.. The NEW Photon S, I received and have made several attempts of printing my models after slicing in the workshop, have all failed to stick to the supports and end up sticking to the vat.. I get the supports, but the model is completely missing.. I successfully printed the provided test models on the provided usb stick, but none of my own personal models will print.. I've re-calibrated several times and even tweeked the settings in the slicer to match the default settings of the original Photon software.. even read other forum suggestions and tried that, but STILL GET NO PRINTED MODEL !!! I need immediate assistance from anyone who can help me trouble shoot !!! THANK YOU !!

Hi guys. I am sure this has been talked about somewhere so I apologize in advance. I can't seem to use my search-fu to find it. I have an original photon. I have not used it in awhile. I never updated any firmware etc. I always used the basic slicer that came with it and had great results. I had to format my computer so I downloaded anycubic's latest slicer. Now I can't get the machine to read any usb sticks. I put the stick in and boot up which makes it take a long time to boot then it basically wont let me get into any options like its frozen. Boot without usb and it works fine. Boot and insert usb it freezes. I have tried formatting usb, multiple different usb, usb I KNOW worked before etc. Is this a problem with the new slicer? Do I need to update firmware? Any help appreciated in advance. Thanks.

Hi everyone
Thanks for the add, first post.
Total noob, Photon owner
I’ve tried JFGI, search online till my eyes hurt. I’m so new I don’t know if I finding the correct answers or not ?

Basically my prints aren’t sticking. I haven’t had a success yet. Just getting pancakes stuck to the vat. (If I hear “that’s not 3D” one more time) ?
Green resin (exp April 2020)
Tried the factory photon slicer setting.
Tried some settings I found online ( in pic)

I don’t know if my Photon is defective or if my structures aren’t correct and it’s not adhering or if it’s the settings or I’m not leveling correctly.

I’ve tried the Flint Read method
The anycubic suggested method and the 3D print farm method. (Which I think is a bit tighter than anycubic)

Help a noob out. Am I doing wrong? Or my printer.

Edit * bought this from a “reseller” open box, no usb, DL’d Photon slicer.

TIA.

No photon cube file in the USB? Sad.
