Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » Anycubic

That's awesome! Do you have a direct link? Looking for "Midgar", "FF7" and "Final Fantasy" and can't seem to find it!

Really cool print.

Edit: Found one on MMF: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-midgar-101209

Kyle Telechan yeah my bad, it was off mmf XD

That's absolutely rad. Might print one for my friend who's a big FF7 fan.

btw where'd you find the resin for £20 a litre?

John Jones on anycubic ebay page, was on sale

Yes, it typically just pops off. The glue you might be thinking of would probably just be dried resin that seeped in between the fep and the tension plate

Jayson Jacob Warren Ok so you should be able to open it like this? Even some of the plastic parts broke like they all were clued

Jayson Jacob Warren Like if they all were fused

Alfons Gunnesgård that does not look like it's supposed to be replaced.

Richard Humble So if you need to replace it you need to buy the whole thing with the plastic part?

Alfons Gunnesgård I guess so.

I just did mine yesterday, it was clean. And my Photon came with two feps, yours didn't?

This is a photon zero

Jason Turner You have the photon zero?

Alfons Gunnesgård oh sorry friend. I have the regular Photon.

But still, you should be able to change it. The FEP is a consumable.

Jason Turner yes thats why i thought it was strange

From the images, it looks like resin seeped in as you said and made it hard to separate.

Jason Turner Hum, i sent a ticket to anycubic, let's see what they say about it

Alfons Gunnesgård they are super awesome in their customer service. They helped me with an issue I was having. Great care

Jason Turner I hope they don't say that you shouldn't be able to open it and that I need to order a kit ? If so maybe i need to reglue it after i replace the fep?

Alfons Gunnesgård no, I wouldn't. You'll need to replace the FEP every now and then

Jason Turner So in the case of it's being sold as a unit(holder and fep). I can try to change the fep film, not glue it and see if it works(no leakage)?

Alfons Gunnesgård yes. With all those screws, the FEP acting as a gasket and the recessed track you screw the frame to, there shouldn't be any leaks

Jason Turner ok thank you

Alfons Gunnesgård my pleasure sir.

I wonder how many times you can remove the screws if they are screwed directly into the plastic

I bet that they will do the same as with the Elegoo Mars disposable trays

According to Anycubic advertising, it should be possible to change the fep film.

Janne Sjöström We got answer from anycubic, the fep and the holder is one pice and you need to order it as a kit

Janne Sjöström

Dåligt att det inte är som på Photon maskinerna att man bara kan byta filmen utan behöva köpa ett kit som fördyrar för kunden, sen är det frågan om det skulle det gå att använda Photon behållaren med lite modifiering. Har själv bara bytt FEP film en gång och har säkert kört upp 15 liter resin, filmen kan se hemskt ful ut men det funkar ändå.

Janne Sjöström Ja det är dåligt, håller på att designa en egen hållare där man ska kunna byta själv

Janne Sjöström

I have used their plan based grey. I dont have any pics at the moment, but i didn't notice any detail differences. It certainly smells a lot better though

Kyle McPherson they have plant based gray?

Cory Lautzenheiser yeah

Are those hero forge downloads?

Please may we have the print settings ? Resin Layers exposure times ?

Jonathan Basseri yeah heroforge.

Merv Hinton anycubic clear, 6 second exposure,
.02 later height.

TYVM .... Bottom layers ?

8, exposure fifty.

I'll add that all to the post too

Perfect..when you can see awesome results like this it'll be really good to get the numbers,Resin and suchlike for reference..the Google spreadsheet was ok for starters but I think we need to get a bit more result based.. especially for people having problems with peeling and poor resolution..

Merv Hinton the doc had really bad info for the clear resin. Went through a bunch of trial and error. At these settings spots that don't have too much support tend to fail, even if those spots aren't islands. Like, the dwarfs arm, printed sheared off. Had to support it better. Second try the base got messed up, so I supported that better. Third try it all came out nice.

That's the spirit..good man..So depressing when prints fail time after time but then when it comes good..Oh Boy !! :)

Nice to see it works going under the default 8 seconds, something for me to try later :)

What did you clear coat with?

I think all companies based in China may have issues with response time.

pretty sure you are gonna have to wait or all this virus stuff to blow over before you can expect quick (for china) response times.

Have you checked your spam folder. My correspondence with them keeps ending up there. They even said to look for emails in there.

Are you ordering direct or going through Amazon?

It also happened to me. They said they were out of a certain color, and listed what they have in stock. I replied stating which in stock color I'd like. No response and it's been about 4 business days. So MAYBE they got the message?

Message this Guy....... https://www.facebook.com/xinfu.xie

Same here been waiting on an order since Feb 11th. Says it was fulfilled on Feb 21st. No tracking # yet.

I got my maschines without problems, and spareparts to my I3 Mega with out any probems, but I got the wasch and harden thing with some damage to the container, and they are not communicating at all this time, I do think it is caused by the virus

Mate international shipping is pretty much non-existant at this point. Large quantities of ports are closed or restricting volume. you have to take into account how many people are probably emailing a day.

My Zero and wash station turned up in 7 and 9 days respectively.

Same happened to me, they said they are experiencing a shortage atm. This was 4 weeks after ordering and i told them i was going to pull my order and that i wasnt happy with the service.

They then started emailing me constantly and sent me an extra 500ml of resin for the trouble

Tyron Craft ooft, I did similar yesterday but instead was notified by the text based delivery tracker system that i was going to be refunded. Still no actual communication from them. I think it's rather unfortunate really cause prior to now I've receiv ed really good service from them which aligns with the reports from everyone else I've spoken to. I understand losing delivery efficiency but communication should be easy to achieve, even if they just used automated messaging.

Josh Dalgliesh fully agree. I too was having nothing but good things to say, had no issues with quality and fast delivery. This was pretty sad when it never showed up. Hence my email to them. Overall im happy that they fulfilled my order with an extra. Admittedly it wasnt the original colour i wanted but hey atleast i got it.

I now however will be buying local from monocure

Tyron Craft yeah same boat. Just put in my order for 5L from monocure. First time buying from them but have also heard only good things from them. Don't forget the "monophoton" coupon code btw. Might give anycubic another try once things have blown over since I like their ECO Resin.

Josh Dalgliesh oh damn! Whats the code give us? Im about to buy 5l jug

Tyron Craft pretty sure it was 10% off

Which was basically enough to offset the postage.

Nice

how

Looks awesome !

Very nice!

Thats insane

How did you get it to print flat on plate? I'm printing MI I figures and would love for them to print flat on the plate like the demo cube printed

That is just awesome! Settings please and orientation info would be appreciated!

Tony Gonzalez just add supports.. there is a pic in this group of orientation

Russell Beer settings in post, photo of orientations in group

for scale and color used

Thats great. What is the scale? 1:24?

Dylan Drummond not sure.. I just scaled it 50% of thingiverse as a desk model

For a moment i thought those were vegetables

It looks pretty close. Be interesting to find out.

Amazing! I've owed a few 1LE Camaros so I knew my way around the LS3. That's fabulous looking!

All the LS blocks are super cheap here in Aus - pls just give me your print file ?

We like your LS3 powered sedans with manuals here too :)

thats the spirit

OMG

I need it for a model
Where did you find it?

That’s ridiculous!

Anthony Dawson

Andrea Cafiero thingiverse.. says that in initial post

Bad ass!

Definitely not 1/24 scale. A 1/24-25. Judging by how it is sitting on that mat, the heads look to be about 3" long, which would probably put this in the 1/8-1/12 range

Russell Butler heads are less than 2” long

That’s awesome. STL for the rest of the vette?

Tyson O'Haver no its a camaro motor

I prefer the '99 VT series out of all of them, had the 5.7 and 5.0 in them. Beastly but no crossmember in the engine bay so they sag like tittiez

That its amazing!!!!! Is that casteable resin or is it just normal one?

I'm first to mention gloves while holding the build plate? Huh.

Pedro Torres normal

Andrew Goins meh

Andrew Goins who uses gloves?

Me apparently. It's been implied I'd likely die otherwise. Lol

did you get a pick of the crankchaft as well?

Shane McAlister i didnt..

Hoghead Hoffer dang, would have liked to see that bit, model looked pretty cool

Wow.

Andrew Goins not quickly. slow painful deaths are the best!

Hoghead Hoffer can confirm. Am slowly dying by the day, and I'm sure life shall be extremely painful at some point, like when I stub my toe.

I work on these motors for a living, and I’m baffled by 1) the level of detail in the file, and 2) how much of that detail you were able to accomplish! Outstanding job!

Yeah, these were on my memory stick too. Just got my Photon just over a week ago. Had similar issue where prints were sticking to FEP rather than the bed unless I releveled the bed prior to each use. I picked up the Sprectrum mobile app for my phone and tuned the FEP to around 330Hz and did a good print run yesterday without any issues after just leveling it once.

John Bkly As in tightening the FEP? I have no issues releveling every time lol

Yep, tightened the FEP and twanged it a few times while monitoring the results on the Spectrum app on my phone.

John Bkly I had no idea you could do that. Guess I’m downloading that app now lol

If you google it or look it up on Youtube, there are a few vids where they talk about it.

John Bkly Awesome! Thank you!

I honestly haven’t had any problems with the ball and screw

Jarin Udom nothing wrong with it, if you know what you are doing.

Brian Jones Well I mean that applies to basically all of 3D printing hahah

Jarin Udom ok fair point. I was leaning to the mechanical side of the machine. Personally I love the damn thing, and I am ecstatic to have one.

The Zero bed / arm mount SUCKS.. Why would you want more of that?!

what did you not like about yours ?

Rigo Arevalo The stamped aluminum "top" piece that attaches to the arm torques the bottom "bed" plate no matter how I attempt to tighten it, resulting in one side lower than the other.

The zero is terrible.

The ball and socket leveling is far, far better than most other options (just tighten the damn thing)

90% ofnthosenwho complain about their leveling slipping just don't tighten it enough but blame the mechanism rather than themselves

hmm, I think I’m understanding you, but did you level the bed by listening the 4 screws *after* making sure the top know was tight? I don’t have any issues with it at all. I love it because I changed my ball to the ex leveler on my photon and it’s been so good after that

You didn’t like yours either ?

Rigo Arevalo yep. The minute you tighten the first one, the stamped metal “top” piece twists it. No matter how careful you are, it’s going to be off one side or the other..

Rigo Arevalo

John Driggers Mine is the same way but I have been printing with no problems so far.

Craig Gardner Same - I can get it to within about 0.35mm side to side. It's just frustrating on what's otherwise a really nice, inexpensive printer. I'm working from home for the foreseeable. so I'll have some quality time to see if I can figure out how to correct it or compensate for it.

I'm not sure, and I am new and the zero is my first printer. But I seemed to have leveled mine fine, no issues there. But I guess if I had other printers too maybe I would understand, I guess.

I have the Saturn, the Zero, the Mars, and the photon.

Both the leveling systems work perfectly.

James Bricknell amazing - how did you level the Zero?

John Driggers loosen the screws, put paper on the lcd, Set z=0, push down the bed, and tighten screws.

Done.

James Bricknell nice - mine twists to the side when you attempt to tighten the screws.

John Driggers hmm that's weird. Even if you tighten them evenly?

James Bricknell yeah. When you get to the point of actually tightening one, it torques the plate. I’ve got it pretty level now but it’s been a right pain in the arse.

John Driggers sounds a damn pain in the ass

James Bricknell what’s the price point on the Saturn?

Ian Henry we don't know yet. I'll let you all know as soon as I can though

Oh mine is flat, I don’t have any issues with that. Maybe that newer bed has a slight manufacturing issue? Is the bed bolted to that upper part ?

Rigo Arevalo looks like a different bed at least.

I really like that one, I’m sure that’s where the problem is tho, have you contacted them regarding this maybe that part just needs replacing. Do you have some compound squares or other measuring tools to see if that thing is “square” ok all axis ?

Rigo Arevalo yeah, I’ve a surface table and associated measuring tools, going to have a play with it later this evening.

I’ve dropped a note to Anycubic support , not heard anything back.

Last night I was averaging 0.8mm side to side, referencing the bed to the lcd. Front to back was not as bad at 0.5mm.

John Driggers Do you tighten 1 and then move to the next? Then that is your problem...
In a "system" like that, you need to give each a turn before you completely tighten to prevent torque movement.

Basically like your fep replacement, you give each screw a turn in a X pattern... until their all tight.

Xi-Sheng Luo Yep - try left to right, criss / cross, everything.

With half/quarter turns?

-edit:
If it moves when you give it like quarter turns, It usually is because then it is "settling" into it's neutral position. (you know, like when you tighten a screw in a hole that has a recess for the screw.)
