Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » resin

Hi guys, just a quick question I hope.
With the transparent resins, is it important to have the light off time set higher, I'm getting some places on a mini print that looks like excess trapped resin is being cured, especially in eye sockets and against supports etc, general detail on the model comes out well. I had previously printed the same mini in white without the eye issue. Any help would be great
Btw using monocure rapid green + rapid flex

Used my Photon to print all the small parts on a few props for the Overwatch League opener. The scope, side tubes, dart mounts, and sling mounts are all Siraya Tech Fast. The dart, charging handle, and transparent hood are clear Siraya Tech Blu. I printed the dart hollow then filled it with pigmented non degassed Smooth Cast 325 to give it a bubbly liquid look. I'm extremely happy with how well the resin printed parts incorporated with the rest of the FDM printed ones. Saved myself at least a day of sanding.

excuse me. Normally when do you know it's time to change your FEP film?
I have just run the resin exposure file and the chart is clear on 1,2 and 9-10 column but "flat" in the center (4~7 coumn)
there for my conclusion is the FEP film is loose/ old
Is that right ?

Carbon filter Merv rating?

I want to reduce odor pumped into the atmosphere. Does carbon filters help with this? What Merv rating would I need? I have a chart for what merv rating needed and their chemicals. However, I have trouble finding what chemicals are in the "ELEGOO standard grey photopolymer Resin for LCD" Elegoo does not state any chemicals they use. Formlabs shows what their resin uses, but people claim to barely smell it. I assume formlabs uses a different ingredient all together.

**Edit for additional notes**

Ambient temperature in the little cabinet I have the printer in seems to be about 21-22^. Is that too cold?

Mysterious print fail, please help!

Got my printer Tuesday. Started test print, about halfway in everything looked good so I got impatient and stopped it to try printing a simple model of my own design.

Next 5 attempts had spots on them that failed. Adhesion has been fine on everything but I went ahead and re-leveled anyways, still not problems there. Issues I was having was supports failing halfway up and flat surfaces parallel to z axis having weird occasional wobble or sometimes a bend. Figured it was just me messing up the support/orientation so I kept trying.

Finally decided I better run the full test print just to be sure, and this is what I got. Nothing stuck on the fep, only a tiny dot or two floating in the vat.

Been shaking the crap out of the resin bottle before adding it, then letting the bubbles settle out before printing, so I believe it’s mixed up well enough.

Any ideas of what might cause this?

I Would Like 2 Say Thanks 4 The Add.... I'm New Here &This Group Already Got Me Excited & I Haven't Even Bought Photon Printer Yet.... I Couldn't Decide Between The Photon Or Photon S.... I've Been Saving Different Posts I've Seen So Far With Tips On Resins & The Different Uses Of The Machines.... Any Suggestions On Which One I Should Buy.... ??

First proper print after doing the test cube and resin calibrator. Any ideas why it failed after the supports? I used chitubox and auto supports

What're people experiences with mixing abs like resins with things like flex or tenacious?

Hi all, I’ve been printing some 20mm calibration XYZ cubes. I’m using elegoo grey (normal £35/litre stuff from amazon). I’m curing in a 36 w (4x9w UV) nail curer for 40-60 minutes (turning halfway). Slicing in Chitubox.

50u at 8 seconds gives 20.2 in the xy and 20.1mm in the Z.

I thought the resins were meant to shrink by 7% according to spec sheets - this has grown? The prints feel smooth and not tacky - they’ve been curing for quite a while - do I need more? Or is still quite a stable resin despite the manufacturers figures of 7%? Thanks!

Hard to photograph the green resin but how do I go about reading this? Do I need to double the number like on the test for the original photon. This was done on a photon s.
