Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » USB

Finally got a chance to fire it up! Printing the cube from the usb first. Thought I'd film the satisfying "click" of the first few layers. Notably though, now it's doing the faster layers the click is.much quieter, I had a panic when it went quiet but now it's just a little "tic" sound and you can see the resin level pop when the models comes off the FEP sheet.

The USB didn't work at first, it just flashed rapidly. So I put it in my computer and it started working, then when I put it in the printer it worked fine!

It's 23c in here at the moment but I gave the platform a little blast of heat from a craft heat gun to warm it up and wiped it with a lens cloth and IPA.

I'm not sure if I put enough resin in (filled to the first line on the tank, used about half the sample bottle I think) but will keep an eye on that, but now the long nervous wait to see if a) I get a print and b) it's any good!

Wish me luck! I'll post back in.... about 6 hours!

My two Phrozens are in the mail on the way to me, my photon up for sale if you are in Australia Sydney, Ive done all the legwork to fix its various and many issues like Z Wobble, misaligned stepper drive, flaky USB connections etc. All working good now as per image, (save yourself the headaches ordering one and having to do all the fixes yourself).

PM me a reasonable offer and happy to let ti go to a good home, otherwise I'm giving to my apprentice to poke around with after the phrozens arrive. TIA.

Several months later and I'm still having issues with my photon. The issue is that throughout the print patches of resin form on the fep film. These patches stick to the printed part, most of the time they ruin the print. It also means that I have to clean out the vat after every print. This issue occurs with several different resins, I have tried black, white, blue, red and green resins from anycubic as well as a bottle of wanhao white. The issue persists with every resin that I've tried,however both of the white resins are much worse. Instead of small patches of resin on the fep, the white resins form large patches of resin on the fep, sometimes covering the whole fep.

This issue becomes more noticeable with larger and longer prints. The printer is not the cause as this is now my 3rd photon. I don't believe that the issue is unwanted uv light getting in as most of my prints are done in a dark room overnight. I also have the yellow window version. I have also tried the printer at another address that is a 20 minute drive away, so the environment isn't the problem. My room stays around 25 degrees Celsius. I don't believe that it is caused by chemical contamtion either as I also had the same problem straight out of the box without cleaning the vat with IPA. Before each print I shake the bottle of resin and leave it in the vat for half an hour to let the bubbles out. I have tried several USB sticks and models sliced with different settings. The patch of resin always seems to start on the right side of the lcd and grows out from there, No matter where the model is placed.

Hey guys, my photon has recently started to stop mid-print. What happens is basically the printer turning off and start beeping. The USB stick is also blinking at the same rythm as the beeps.

Is this a power supply issue?

I'm getting the Memory Error 11800 50% of the time. Github says it's a know error but are Anycubic working on it at all?

I've checked the USB cable and it's plugged all the way in. For a while it helped to turn off the printer and unplug it between prints but now that isn't working either. This is a truly infuriating error as it seems to be evolving and returning every time you think you have fixed it.

Anyone have a definitive solution for this?

HI, I try flash/update firmware, but without success. DOwnload and decompress files, 3 files copied on root of USB stick (and other too). Put in printer, printer switch-on and... nothing... Printer just starts, no update. I can see content of USB, all files are there. Where am I making a mistake? Thanks!

I am from Brazil, and I bought the PHOTON during my trip in Orlando. I arrived in Brazil, and I am trying to use my ANYCUBIC PHOTON,but the printer is not working. I could realize that the printer is not reading the USB port. I saw the youtube video (Inspect the USB cable on PHOTON), I did the method and the cable is connect correctly e even so is not working. I tried used with 3 pendrives different . All pendrives lock the display menu. There is one pendrive that have red light inside, and when I connect the pen drive into the PHOTON the light start flashing, but when I connect in my computer the light just stay red and the pen drive work perfectly. I am afraid because I am in Brazil, and there isn’t technical assistance and support in Portuguese. This problem is normal? There is a proceeding that I need to do? I really need help.

Either I am doing something wrong or I have a serious failure with the UV light.

Using a new USB stick I have sliced a file with no problems. The printer reads the file and starts printing except that every print results in - nothing except resin dripping off the plate.

I am using the sample green resin and everything on default.
Am I doing something simple wrong or is the UV projector dead out of the box?

Just got a second hand Photon as my first resin printer (I have three FDM printers already). I'm finding that I have a lot to learn.

So far I've had two test prints fail today. One was the lattice cube on the USB drive that came with it, and now I've tried a benchy but that's not really working either.

The lattice cube didn't stick to the platform at all and I had to scrape a few layers off the FEP film. The benchy had a few layers stick to the platform and more stick to the film. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and what I can do to fix it?
