Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » mac

Hi guys,

I'm a new Photon S user, me and my friends tryed to print this test example but something went wrong.

The model came up weird, the machine were already calibred and everything, technically, was fine.

Any ideas? Thank you

EDIT: After some reading I checked if the z axis sensor light was on and it is not. When I Swich the machine on it quickly flicks on and back off again. Does anyone know how I might troubleshoot a sensor that is not working? Or reasons for it failing? Thank you

Hello all, looking for a bit of advice. My Anycubic Photon has developed an issue and I’m unsure how to fix it. It had been working perfectly until I tried to print and the platform would not come down. It seems to think it’s touching the screen when it’s floating in mid air and then when I cancel the print it travels right back up to the top and wants to keep going producing a grinding sound. Obviously I stopped it straight away so it didn’t damage the motor. I tried to reset the zaxis but it didn’t seem to make any difference. Can you suggest what I do from here please? My printer was only bought a few months ago, maybe 5 months?
Thank you for any help, I’ve searched the forum but couldn’t find a similar issue.

Hey all, hoping someone can help me please, no matter what I slice it always seems to hang the printer, i've tried models that worked before and new ones, have tried rolling the firmware back to 4.2.17 and again to 4.2.18, Tried Chitubox 1.5 and 1.6.1 new usb stick, leaving the machine off for several hours and it's still happening, is this a known issue?

Hi, is the yellow plastic 100% UV filtering? if the machine is near a window, will the resin in the tray get exposed?

Hello, I recently received my anycubic proton and manage to make my first print. The machine only manage to print *.pws files, I cant print *.photon files at all. Its there anyway to work around this. My proton firmware is V3.4.1

Tried some alcohol ink to tint Primacreator Value Clear (as it yellows quite badly but otherwise prints beautifully). I got indigo, hoping to end up with something clear-ish (like an optical whitening effect from bluing for laundry or toner for hair) or at least more blue/teal instead of pee yellow. Only did a tiny amount and tiny print just to see if it would cure.

Instead of blue/clear... I got hot pink. Not what I wanted but it worked and I ain't even mad. Poor lil guy lost a leg in support removal but his other, uh, details are perfect.

How to fix prints sticking too good to the build plate?

After a few small test prints which went really well, I now made a couple of larger prints which were _very_ hard to remove from the build plate. In the end I had to resolve to using the metal painter scraper that I normally use to remove prints from my FDM machine, which left a couple of scratches on the buildplate.

Should I re-level my build plate? (Is there a way to offset it by 0.1mm from the current z=0 or do I have to redo the whole leveling manually?) Or should I just reduce the bottom exposure setting (or another setting?) for this resin? (I am using the Wanhao clear with 50s bottom exposure/8 bottom layers as per the 'best resin settings' document)

Sharon Apple Virturoid from Macross Plus. File from thingiverse, hollowed and printed at .03 in Monocure Grey.

When it printed it had a few little defects due to air bubbles in my roughly shaken resin (my bad), also it come close to detaching from the plate due to suction. If I ever print another I think I would want to tweak the base layers or not be lazy with supports. I printed it flat on the plate to avoid post cleanup but of course that meant there was no way for the hole to allow suction release. Remember guys always think about hollow models and suction issues when you set up your prints.

Looks kind of good with some paint on though.

Hi, me again. I have a Photon S and everything is factory set. I did printed the test cube and my first try was a small failed. Part of the cube didn't printed at all. I did printed the cube again and it went super well!!!

Now, I'm trying to print a small figure. My problem is related to the photon file that I have to put on the USB key to print. I've used Chitubox to generate all my support and save an STL file. Then I've opened the Photon Workshop V2 program to slice the STL file and to get a ".PWS" file.

After that I'm inserting my USB key in the printer and select "Print". At that point, there is no file appearing on the screen. I 've shut down the print and leaved the key inserted. Then put the printer on, and still no file to be print.

I just dont know what to do now!!!

USB ket is a new 64GB Fat32. I took a pic of of the file saved on the key and shot a video with the printer. Using a MacBook Pro.
