Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » resin

I just got an order shipped yesterday

So online orders are still working? I've been going to the checkout all night and getting a critical error. Cheers

Thay seems like a long time for post cure. I do like 5 mins with clear...

Overcuring causes brittleness, you shouldnt need more than like 5 minutes or until a nail no longer dents it

It's either a leveling issue or not enough time on the Base layer. Relevel the build plate and increase Base exposure by 5 seconds and try again. Repeat until perfect prints.

Also if it’s your first time, the plate may not be down far enough when you set the Z, the paper needs to be more snug than you think...

Brendan Wood where can increase the base exposure?

John Valdes what program are you using to slice?

Anders Scot Hudson I will tried it again. Had it tight that paper was real tight

I have both chitubox and the anycubic one. I was using the anycubic one.

Well first of all I recommend not using the anycubic one. Then in Chitubox, on the right hand of the screen there is a button for Settings. In the middle of the Settings window, there is a Print tab. You can change the numbers in there and press the En ter key to save. If you haven't used Chitubox yet then the numbers might be a little low by default. That was my experience. When doing test prints to find your curing time you can increase the Exposure Time by 1 second and Bottom Exposure Time by 5 seconds to dial it in.

I like this town as my test piece to figure out a resin's times

Brendan Wood will try it. I read about sanding the bed plate.

John Valdes i've never done that so I can't recommend.

John Valdes beware of destructive hardware modifications. Only do that if 1) you have exhausted all other possibilities [including releveling dozens of times if necessary] and 2) have visually confirmed with a steel ruler and a light source that your build plate is not flat.

I have seen previous posts similar to this listing a place out of Florida do some quick scrolling shouldn't be hard to find

Paul Hail looked she's done see any, spent 30 mins scrolling she's didn't see anything about this

There is Wanhao water washable at 3dprinterunuverse.com and ships same day

It would probably work but there are better options. My local hardware store had plenty of acetone and denatured alcohol.

Kerosene works well, just stinky and oily. You're in Brazil, Ethanol works great.

If you want to play it safe lower the plate all the way and then add resin. Then you're guaranteed to not spill. Otherwise just add as much as you think you need that looks like it won't overflow once the plate is in.

I pour mine to the bevel about 1/2" or less up from the FEP....I print minis so this method works well for me, I always use less resin than that.

Thanks for the help! ?

Just as an FYI the official blurb states it takes 70ml. Not tried it but I reckon that's close to Flood Alert . . .

Lower your build platform to the bottom of the Vat you can fill it to within a few mm's of the brim. Resin getting on top of the build platform will not damage your printer in any way it just makes it a little more messy when you want to clean it.

Guess print downtime = maintenance

What kind of resin do you use? Great prints btw.

Shaun Reno anycubic grey, the one i bought originaly with the printer on amazon

Israël St-Gelais awesome. I’m having issues with mine still after a few weeks. Any chance you would take a picture of your settings for me?

Shaun Reno i used the setting on the chart for resin that is used by most ppl. I leveled the bed with the "read method". Then im auto-orienting and auto-support (70%) in prusaslicer. I export the whole thing in chitubox and VOILA.

Ill try to find the chart to post it to you if you would like to

Israël St-Gelais how long do your prints take, say for one mini? The chart looks like it has really long exposure times.

Depends, between 5 and 7-8 hours usually. I dont mind the time to get good results

Im printing a 8.5 hours one right now

Israël St-Gelais that’s how I feel but on the other hand, people are getting better results in three hours and it’s frustrating.

Depend on the size of the mini, usually part under a inch high take around 2-3 hours yes, but im usuallly printing around 10cm high at least

Israël St-Gelais gotcha.

There are a few different choices for grey on the chart. Would you mind taking a pic of your setting screen and sending it to me? I’d really appreciate it.

Shaun Reno there you go my dude <3

Israël St-Gelais thanks bud.

Where did you find the winged model?

Great prints!

Tim Parks lord of the print patreon

Israël St-Gelais Thanks

Von den Teilen haben wir um Krankenhaus noch genug, da wir sie generell wiederverwenden/desinfizieren. Die Folienschilde hingegen werden langsam weniger. Was aktuell viel knapper ist, sind FFP2+3 Masken und normaler Mundschutz.

Could you not just Print a rig to bend aluminium too that shape and you could produce probably a few dozen a hour if optimized well

Aaron Dunster do it that way.
I hace this process under control and don’t want to modify it.
But thanks 4 your suggestions

Giuliano Fragola no problem mate, the journey of an idea ☺

Just pour more resin in without pausing.

Just make sure the resin is about the same temp as the resin in the vat.

Most likely lead to failure or at least a more visible/prominent layer line at the break. Better to just pour some more resin in while it’s running.

I've always just added more when needed....never had a single issue ?‍♂️

Done both, just adding resin and pausing, had no problem with either

Tauri Icenogle whike the printer is printing?

Uli Sazma yep. Just pour slowly. There’s enough space around the build plate for the resin to get in the vat.

Tauri Icenogle thx a lot

I wait until the model is done curing the present layer, then I pause, add resin wait about 20s and then resume.

When I've done it mid-print, I timed the pour of extra resin during the lifting process so its less likely to affect it during exposure. Only had to add extra once or twice though.

Done it both ways...neither causes a problem though you could get a faint line
