Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » USB

Good afternoon and thank you for the add.
Im not sure if this has been asked before. Ive had a look through the posts and it doesnt appear.
My husband has a photon s, we had a power cut mid print and didnt realise till he got home from work. When my husband went to restart the print but the build plate went back to the z=0 position. This resulted in a crunch and a hole in the FEP. We replaced the FEP but now the prints wont stick to the build plat they stick to the FEP.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

What kind of USB sticks is everyone using? Right now, the only stick my Photon even recognizes is the one that came with the printer (and I'm aware that there are problems with it). I've tried four other sticks that I have at home. A couple of them are small drives (8 and 16 GB), which I've heard work better. Nothing works.

I got this machine a week ago and haven't used it much yet. Right now, I'm stuck using the stock USB drive, and I'm pretty sure that's why my machine keeps failing within the first 4 layers (memory errors and random rebooting). I got one good print out of it a couple days ago, but today I have had about six 1-4 layer fails in a row, and I'm getting frustrated...

Any help would be appreciated!

I Updated my Photon to the newest Firmware. And now 2/3 USB sticks doesn't work anymore.
With 1 of them the Photon doesn't boot when the plugs in.
The UV Cooling fan makes strange noises. The number of revolutions goes from 80% to 100% --> 80% --> 0% and 100% very fast. Have anyone the same issues ?

After months of work and asking and receiving help from the people that are members of this club about the model not working in the slice program and then the printer problems... And YES get a new USB!
I'm on my way to the finish line :)
Still working on a bigger print and molding to Pewter then Sterling Silver.... I just want to show how far this is. The finished coins will be bigger.
And this being my FIRST PRINT, I LOVE THIS ANYCUBIC PHOTON-S <3

Failure after 1st layer or so. Printer stops printing and I assume reboots and you end up at the print/tools/system main menu. I unplugged the Photon and plugged it back in and reloaded the photon file on the usb....NOT the one that came with it. Photon would not read a 128gb usb drive that it had been seeing ok. Even had a hard time reading the 8gb one. Finally saw the drive. went up some levels and back down, selected a different print then exited, back into print and started printing again. So far so good. I have not seen this since updating to the latest firmware. I smell a big bad bug.

HELP...HELP...HELP

I hope this finds the help I need....

I started my first print last night using the Photon-S that I bought in February of this year. Yep, as soon as they were released...

Excited to finally print my design that took "only" geeeeeezzzzzzzz five months...
Anyway, after only five hours of sleep I checked the progress...
NOTHING AT ALL
Not even residue of a failed print.

After several more attempts and re slicing the model... still nothing.
Even used different USB sticks.

I'm thinking it's less of a model problem and more printer issue.

The printer powers on...
The screen test shows the lighted rectangular image, so I beleive it's not the screen...
But the exterior touch screen is acting differently than some youtube videos I've watched during the run of a print.

After choosing PRINT on the touch screen, I see the Cube file that came with the printer and my file.
Both have the little picture in the square...
After selecting my (or either) file, it shows the image then in the full screen along with the DELETE, PRINT and BACK buttons.
After touching the PRINT, the printer then goes threw the motions of what I would expect to be printing...
BUT...
The preview or progress screen stays blank... Meaning, no image of the current layer being printed.
And I beleive it to be that if it's not showing the current layer being printed, then no layer is being printed... At all...
It does still show the STOP, PAUSE and BACK choices. I'm only saying that so as you know that screen still works...
I can't find any information on this issue.
The entire light screen does turn on with a dim glow during the time it should be printing but with no brighter image layer anywhere during a dry run with no tray.

I going to camp out now in front of this computer hoping that someone has dealt with this issue before.
If you have...
First, I'm sorry and I can say, I know how you felt !
Secondly, please share the fix.

Thank you to all that took the time to read this.

Any idea why a photon would stop reading any folders/files on a usb except for the hidden Mac files?

Was working fine, then I took usb out to add new files, now not working with any usbs. Have tried formatting them on both pc and Mac.

I managed to get 3 great prints before my first major hiccup. The printer now resets right before starting a print. (Basically it finds home position, then right when it goes to Z= 0 to start the first layer the printer resets. I've tried different USB drives, and I've tried to use my own USB extension cord as well. Anything else worth trying? I've already sent Anycubic a ticket, but I want to see if there is something obvious I'm missing.

Hey guys

I wanted to upgrade my Photon's firmware to 4.2.19, but when I plug the USB and start the Photon, it beeps only once, and wouldn't upgrade.
The USB is working properly, files are in the root folder.
