Lee Rogers thank you

Good quality print. When I ordered my Photon Zero, I chose 2L of resin since they were charging $30/L. Both liters they sent me were AnyCubic black, so I wonder if I would have better results with a different resin.

Jonathan Basseri it was weird, 3 other resins perfect, I just could not get the black to work. Have returned to amazon and going to try an elegoo black.

Others have told me to maybe up the exposure time since it's more opaque than most resins. My last two prints game out alright, but I have aliasing problems I need to figure out. Clearly the Photon Zero can produce smooth outputs, so I need to experiment with settings.

Jonathan Basseri yeah I tried 60, 80 and 100, different base layers, normal exposure, pulled my hair out in the end ? ?

Pre is definitely easier imo

Noise is much less

I’ve used dozens of resins

Lithophane are awesome on resin and yes you can go thin but the model can declare where

The orientation needs to be modified often

John Chrapkowski orientation needs to be modified?

John Chrapkowski of the dozens are certain brands better, certain colors more cooperative? Do some cure better then others?

tilt the model to:
Reduce surface area of each print layer

for the resin brands, I’ve not had too many bad experiences except I am not a fan of the water washable

John Chrapkowski so doing a 12cmx12cm tile like I showed in the image would not work?

Andrew Cameron it’s very thin so I would print it like that. Many will say tilt it but for such a small cross section you’ll be fine. If you’re doing many, I would move them around for each print to reduce wear on the FEP ( clear plastic on the bottom of vat) in a specific spot

John Chrapkowski not sure what the fep is. you mean the fep film? How long does the average fep last?

fep is the clear plastic that the layer is cured on, if all goes well it’s pulled off and sticks to the rest of the model. Durability is variable but I’ve found it to be pretty good. Around 30-50 prints. Cost is a couple dollars to replace

as for colors, transparent generally are shorter cure times and therefore ‘easier’ I suppose maroon seems to be really difficult for some reason

John Chrapkowski where are you finding these for a couple dollars I am seeing around 15 - 35 a sheet on amazon

First page on amazon. So these are 4 or 5 packs. I get two per sheet so a 5 pack is 10 replacements. You can buy in bulk for more savings

Thanks for the loads of great info!

What you're basically printing is something the Photons have been proven good a heap of times. It's a Lithopane. Hit the search box for the group with that key-word and you'll see what I mean.

r.e. resins, i.m.o. there are MUCH better resins than anyc ubic out there. I swear by Monocure Rapid 3d, but Sriraya (spelling?) also have a great rep. Treat resins just like you treat filaments. Sure you can probably buy the stuff with your printer's brand on the label, but it doesn't necesarily work any better with your printer than other stuff.

no this is just a terrain stl tile, not based on a photo not wanting to do lithopanes. Is the way I would have it angled on the bed an issue?

Andrew Cameron not on my experience. I keep having my large bases fail. I've tried flat, upright, 20d degree off axis and 45 degree.

William Tatum you talking about printing something like the picture?

Andrew Cameron yes. Largish, thinnish, flat structures for me warp, deform, or fail depending on plate orientation. Meanwhile my regular models, even large, but thick bits, do just fine.

It's the one area where I've had consistent failures.

crap. Back to the drawing board on the printer to buy. Wonder how people are getting thin lithopane prints without it warping then

Happens all the time for me with chitu. I have to move the model a bit and reslice sometimes.

Interesting. Cheers.

Peppers Magee I haven’t found a way to avoid it

Try meshmixer for hollowing. The quality of the inside walls is so much better that you will regret using chitu for hollowing.

Dan Andersson I just tried yesterday this exact thing and you are totally right!

Cool! Will try.

Exposure settings champ. It is sliced to suit anycubic trans green. As you are running grey which is opaque, you will need to up exposures. Search for resin exposure test on thingiverse. Read it, study it. Then adjust the settings to suit your resin/machine. What grey is it?

Hi Damian ! I see you got your package. Not sure I have ever seen that particular failure.

Sorry I just read it again. I would start your exposure 9secs per layer on normal.

You wpuld need to re slice that file though

Ben Brooks alright thank you

Amy Baldwin yeah I got in last week but needed Resin which came in today

What's the room temperature? Did you shake the resin well?

Jonathan Basseri yes I did shake it well. The room temp was about 70-75

Dang those both sound good to me

Exposure time, it looks like. For grey, I’d say 8-9 seconds a layer is a good place to start. Also, make sure your build plate is tightened and doesn’t wobble; give it a test jiggle before each print and retighten/level as needed.

Is it that much cheaper than Amazon? I order from Amazon and I get it next day.

I don't think any prior experiences with shipping are going to be accurate based on the current circumstances.

I ordered from them last week. I'm outside Chicago. Took about 7 days to arrive

Yup, current status is that if it isn't medical its a low priority.

Todd Rigertas thanks

Dan Gump The prices were comparable to Amazon, but the specific colors and sizes were not available on Amazon.

I'm in California right now. I ordered on March 10th. Still hasn't arrived.

Heya Phil hopefully any day now then

Bill Leone one can only hope right now.

Dan Gump it is also possible that Amazon will delay your shipment if deemed non-urgent. At least that’s what I keep hearing. I have not verified that.

I retract that comment. They are limiting INCOMING shipments to their warehouses. So essentially if they have it in stock they’ll still send it to you, but only til they run out.

Not count on getting it anytime soon, your governor closed the state.

lots of people say never order directly from anycubic. ive switched to egeloo resin. very happy with it.

Nah, I had a webcam that was originally scheduled for delivery this past Monday. It's now scheduled for Sunday, and I'm not holding my breath about it.

Shipping is critical infrastructure. UPS/Fedex/and USPS are still working as "normal".

Nick Neal true, but can the truckers get through, many states closed rest stops, repair shops, restaurants drive through only.

Theodore Peckler idk about repair shops but most everything is still open out here they just stopped dine in. Most restaurants, chains at least, are open and doing take out only. I saw plenty of semi trucks on the freeway today and all of my shipments continue to track their way through the state.

Nick Neal good luck, I’ve had two shipments go bouncing between two cities back and forth.

Anything ordered from anycubic website comes from their facility in china. They have no US affiliates except amazon...good luck

So you've ordered a Chinese-made Item . . . . From China? I say 'from China' cos it's almost a 100% certainty that US stocks are all but depleted at this stage of the proceedings.

I'm in the UK and it took 10 days to get One Litre that was less than 600 miles and 2 countries away.

Theodore Peckler my shipments do that even when the world isn't ending haha. I've had stuff come in to the state, then go to Colorado, then come back to California. Regardless, nothing in any of them is of any importance. If it's late it's late.

"600 miles and 2 countries away" laughs in Texan.

Lane Shutt And, I should add, the English Channel, the worlds busiest Seaway . . . We're not just talking about popping up to L.A. here . . . We're talking International Commerce so we are ;)

if it wasn't because our postage was so expensive I'd have put 4 liters up for sale

Neal Conway I guess with Brexit it complicates shipping. It's just that people in Texas laugh at others complaining about short distances covering multiple state/ countries.

I'm currently in the same predicament. I replaced the LCD today and getting the same results. I then switched to another LCD from a different manufacturer but no change. I put in for a ticket with Anycubic. Let's see what they come up with.

What type of LCD screen? If it is the Mars one, I believe you have to use an adaptor. Plugging the wrong one in can fry the motherboard. In you case it looks like it may not be plugged in properly

normal 12 off 8

Honestly I just had the same problem. Don't know if it would work for you but all I did was beef up the supports.

Rok Petrič what’s that bro?

Matthew Fry I was thinking about that.. I even hollowed before slicing

normal exposure 12 exposure off 8s

Rok Petrič gonna try it

Rok Petrič that could be the fail problem?

could be

So I was using Elegoo Grey and was able to print with tiny contact diameters on the supports. This was based on a video explaining supports...it worked for him and worked for me at first.

I swapped to AnyCubic Green and had similar problems. My contact diameters are now both .22 for my heavy supports, and only slightly lower for the light ones. My printing got immediately better.

Exposure is probably too low.

Adam Scaramella yeah. I think that’s what the problem is here. Because the supports are intact looks like they just fell off

You need to tilt the seats 20 deg. I like to use a good amount of heavy supports and pin all the details with the smaller ones.

How big are you layers? Thicker lays need more cure time. I use .03 @ 9sec for the green.

F Frank Padula could you please let me know if you figure out what the problem was?

Kasper Boysen I’m going to reprint soon.. I will post hopefully the success pictures lol

Frank Padula Sound good!! Let me know how it goes!!!(:
