Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » resin

Doing the tests to find the correct time. Is this really supposed to be super thin? Also I can barely make out the lines and stuff to know which number to pick. So I’ve got the printer in test mode, I’m using the resin-test-50u.B100.2-20.photon I’ve had two other test prints that failed and didn’t have any detail in them, so emptied the VAT, cleaned everything and re-leveled the print bed and then got the one semi successfully print (I think) first time doing this test.

Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong with this test and how I can resolve the issue.

So...uh...holy shit. This is my first print on the printer (got it this morning). Im amazed at the quality. Hard to photo clear resin, but this is awesome.

So I must admit I've not used my printer much, that said the last time I printed something it worked well. I recently went to print this DE-5000 LCR meter interface box thing for a buddy off thingiverse. I printed it using the stock resin, 50 seconds exposure for the first 8 bottom layers, then 8 second exposures thereafter.

Supports were as shown (maybe light is too weak?) it seems like they broke away at the edges allowing the part to curl? There was a second thinner part and I found it stuck to the FEP, I think the suction forces got to be too much. I printed at a 45 degree angle to the FEP. I'm considering a second run with medium supports and more angle, maybe a second more on exposure? Thoughts?

I print mostly minis for table top gaming and I am having issues with brittleness. Right now I am using Anycubic grey and I am looking to mix in some more flexible resin but looking for some advice.

The Monocure Rapid FLEX100 seems like a good choice since it seems to be effective at only 15% but the reviews talk about it having a very strong odor. My printer is set up in my home office closet and I have it venting into the attic with a inline duct fan so it is pretty well ventilated. The attic is ventilated and if needed I can run the closet vent through the roof but I'm worried if that is strong will I smell up the whole house. Anyone have any experience with this resin and it the smell that strong?

The other one I'm looking at is the Tenacious flexible resin from Siraya Tech. It is half the price but looks like it take higher mixture but what concerns me is it wants to print a 25C and my house it usually around 22C and I am not ready to modify my printer to add heat or heat up my whole hous the that temp. Has any printed at lower temps and did work OK?

Thanks in advance and please let me know if I'm missing any other options.

Hoping you fine folks can help me with some tuning.

I've had a Photon for years now (one of the original ones, with the blue windows) and it's been printing great the while time. Recently, though, I picked up a Photon S to play around with as well.

Thing is, I just can't get the S to print as well. Most of what I print is miniatures (thanks HeroForge!) and have gotten decent at rigging supports for them. On the original Photon, the supports (medium-ish) snap off cleanly every time with very minimal fuss and very little surface scarring. Quick, easy, very little detailed-snipping required.

On the S, though, the same supports are rigidly stuck to the model and need to be cut free. They also often leave deep pits and scars. If I drop down to light supports, they seem to work a _bit_ better, but I get a lot of "globbing" (bits of the model, on the side near the plate, are just a blobby, indistinct mess.)

Here's what I've tried so far:
- Used a RERF to fine-tune the resin. I can barely see any difference between any of the tiles whatsoever.
- Turned down the curing time to 12s (down from 15s on the original)
- Used original .photon files AND the new .photons files.

What I'm using:
- The latest version of ChiTuBox
- Monocure Rapid Blue

I've also noticed that the prints that come off the S look different. They're much shinier, even after cleaning and drying, than the originals. Though, I don't know if this is good or bad.

I know the S has a different light on it and is expected to cure a bit faster. But what other changes should I be trying? If you've gone from an Original to an S, what settings did you find you needed to tweak?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I keep trying prints from both machines at the same time, but end up keeping the one from the original every single time. :(

I’ve just had my Photon about a week now and having some troubles. Some of the troubles include the print head suddenly not moving at all and not responding to any of the Z movement buttons. A power cycle gets it working again. On one print the head went down into the vat then never came back up again. I was also getting cured resin on different parts of the fep. At first we thought (my friend who is also in this group has been helping me extensively) maybe it was a bad batch of resin. I tried the other bottle (I had ordered 2) and got a very nice print and no globs on the fep. I then tried the deathtrooper model and got a strange result. Half printed and a flat blob on the fep. Check put the pics. Any help very much appreciated.

I am using Siraya Tech Fast Resin. The deathtrooper print was at 10 sec exposure time.

Has anyone had success working with that specific resin or had issues with the print head not moving or responding to button presses?

Weird Problem: 3 out of my last 4 prints: Printer starts and then at some point simply stops. I come back to find the printer at the main screen and the print plate in the resin. Print job definitely started. Any ideas? Never seen this before. It's cold here...temp related?

Anyone have suggestions for print settings of Elegoo Grey ABS? I didn't see it on the sheet that has been shared here. I've heard that ABS is a bit less brittle than other resins. I appreciate it.
