I think my USB port is defect after one week of using? Any idea how to fix it?

Help!

Running into an issue suddenly that sounds somewhat like something in the known issues FAQ: "Z motor stops moving mid-print, LCD keeps exposing resin, no error message, stopping print and moving Z via menu works."

Basically I start any print and the Z axis works normally. When it gets to layer 2 or 3, the Z axis just stops functioning and the LCD keeps on displaying layers as it normally would without any movement. Generally speaking, the build plate is still submerged in the resin, where the last successful layer was prior to Z movement stopping. This happens even on files that I know have been "good slices"(as in, I've printed many times before).

If I cancel the print, Tools>Move Z will not respond. If I power cycle the printer, I can then use Tools>Move Z to move the plate up.

Things I've tried so far:

-Updating firmware to newest
-Eeprom reset
-Reformatting USB (using my own USB)
-Using a different USB
-Reslicing files

Anyone run into something like this and found a way to fix? I also sent an email to Anycubic but figured I'd check here while I wait. Thank you, Photonsters!

Hi everyone. I have some problems with the Photon. I put to print a model but the printer after a short time gave the error you see in the picture. I tried to reboot, replace the usb drive and the file to print but I had the same problem. can you tell me what it is?

I'm having an issue trying to flash the new firmware (my printer squishes the first 6mm or so into about 1mm). I've downloaded the zip, extracted it onto a USB leaving the three relevant files as the only files on the stick in the main directory. When I plug the stick in and turn on the printer I don't hear any "di di" sound to tell me the printer is automatically recognizing the files. When I go to print the files I get "Unknown File Type" as a message on 255.lcdimg. The .bin file seems to run successfully. If I try to print update.LCD the printer says "firmware update now!" with the option to hit "Yes", but the printer immediately restarts and then gives me blank spaces in the print menu and Memory error code M_11000. I've tried the same process on two other new FAT32 formatted USBs.

Just got my Photon yesterday, but it won't print. I understand that there are some problems with the USB on these printers.

I'm using my own Sandisk 16gb usb drive with a short name file (alphanumeric, no special characters). When I select my file and hit the play button it will stop between one and four percent and then give me an error code. Alternatively, earlier it would go all the way to 99% and sit there without doing anything more.

Any suggestions on how to get it working?

I built a little USB powered cure chamber out of mirrored acrylic. But I also built it so it's just the right size to stash inside the photon at the height it retracts when a print is finished. I take my printer other places a lot and it was the only way to make it fit in the pelican case I carry the printer in.

So ah. What’s a data read error on the photon? Does that mean the apparently crap USB needs replacing? What do I replace it with? Is there s max size the photon can take? Is there any special formatting the USB needs?

Anyone recommend me an affordable USB flash drive from a UK retailer that *definitely* works in the Photon? I've tried two so far and neither has worked. Yes, I formatted them correctly. Yes, I moved the files on to them.

So when starting my next project t earlier the z axis failed to move and the led/LCD started exposing the first layer immediately.
I stopped the print.
Cleared the vat of exposed resin and started print again.
2nd time of starting z axis moved but didn't go to home then z=0 it just ran right to the bottom and the motor kept running.
Switched machine off and back on, reset z=0 and it's printing fine again.

I've had the first part of the issue previously but cleani6 the vat and started again without issue.
The z axis issue I just had worried me more for fear of breaking the LCD etc.
Anyone else had this issue?
Running a stock photon as it came out of the box. Using the included usb but am aware of the issues with those so I'm ordering a replacement
Purchased just after Xmas and other than this works fine.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Big chunks missing from the print that are definitely in the sliced file means bad USB, right?
