Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » USB

Ok, so I'm having a little problem here. First I tried printing a mini adding supports, the print failed and only ~4 mm of the supports where printed + a small mess on the fep.

So I tried again with the Ameralabs city, adding the supports myself (to practice), same result... so I was thinking: boy, I suck at this support thing. Finally I printed the 3 stock Ameralabs stl as is (normal, with platform and with supports) and added a ring.

As you can see only the city with the platform printed fine all the way, the ring seems ok, but teared on half of it, the other two cities botched.

Please advice, and thanks for your help!

Settings:
resin: Anycubic red
0.05, bottom: 8x40s, 10s.

Sliced with ChituBox 1.2.0 on osx, with photon printer profile.
Using stock usb, but I think that shouldn't be the problem otherwise nothing would have succeeded.

This is my 7th print, the first 3 where successful and have been failing the rest :(

I have tried to install the system through the USB and through the website but both them results in the same error (image attached), also tried to uninstall and install again and nothing. Then tried the ChiTu DLP Slicer32 and also resulted at the same error. Did the Windows update and results the same.
I need help to identify the reason of the error and fix it. Is it the PC's configuration? What are the Software needs to run properly?

Those who have changed the USB you use. How did you prepare it?

I got a 16GB replacement formatted as FAT32 (same as original) with all of the original files copied over. My photon boots fine but once I insert the drive the touchscreen stops responding

Does the Photon have issues with USB drives above 4GB?

I need some opinions and help please! What would cause these kinds of failures? How can we fix it?

Problems:
-missing supports
-missing items
-partially printed items
-crooked/wavy items
-base layer peeling

Info you probably need:
-2 different machines running at the same time
-same file
-not original USB drive
-not sanded plates
-fresh out of the bottle resin, same bottle
-bottle has already been used for earlier successful prints
-printed this same exact file 10+ times 6 days ago with success
-have printed other files successfully since those runs
-printer 1 had failed d8 (missing item) in the vat, no other loose pieces. Printer 2 had no loose pieces in vat
-printer 1 is older (operating since August) printer 2 is new (operating for a week)
-anycubic translucent green resin

So just heard that anycubic plan to release a Photon X this year, and are asking for suggestions towards specifications. Please comment below with what specifications and features that you would like to see in this new model.

Note to Anycubic. I would love to review the model or be part of the whole build and release process, so please feel free to contact me.

I will try to filter out the best/most wanted suggestions and list them here as they arrive.

Specs wanted:

Build area: Minimum of (X,Y,Z) 215 x 135 x 200

This would be same as Tian T200 which is already available. 200mm in Y would be nice if possible as well as 300mm in Z. Not sure if it is possible as it may introduce further technical difficulties in designing. Suction would be an issue, however other manufacturers seem to have solved this via a drilled, perforated build plate.

FEP Vat: would be nice to have a much deeper vat like the Than, making filling and maintaining resin depth much easier.

Lighting: Stronger lighting. ParaLED array setup as an alternative "upgrade" option. See Phroezen Shuffle for further examples.

Screen: higher resolution screen for finer X/Y details.

Z rail: Better Z rail. Dual Z like Wanhao D8 and the previously mentioned To an

Ventilation: Upgraded ventilation for smelliness. Also needs to be as quiet as possible.

Connectivity: Wifi (NanoDLP) and also a USB slot to load files. I ask as my current printer uses NanoDLP and often fails on file sizes over 180mb.

Other features: Internal camera

Price: Under £1000 as Tian is around £800. Price could be minimised by keeping some of the more "luxury" features as an optional extra, allowing people to buy a base model and gradually upgrade it.

DISASTER HAPPENED. Please, help.

In my first printing the USB was showing the file on the screen of the printer. So I did what Anycubic YouTube channel tells: open the back door and verify if the male USB conector was loose, and it was. So I plugged it back but it is not tight enough in my opinion. But at least the printer showed my file and I hit print.

After one hour I decided to pause to check if tere was enough resin, I noticed that the preview LCD was not showing the image (a dog) it was showing half noise. This was the result:
And the resin in the vault is cured and I can't remove even with IPA.

What's the problem? What do I do? Please help. ? ? ?

So I was set up to do my first ever resin print... or so I thought. When I select print, the next window just shows blanks with no files to print. When I put the memory stick in my PC the print files are there. This is the memory stick that came with it. Could the USB just be bad on the printer?
