Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » mac

Who was selling the machined levellers? I have a printed one which works great and I’d like to upgrade it. Cheers.

Does anybody know where i can buy cheap build platforms (the whole assembly) within europe? I know some stores like fepshop do, but they sell for about 80-90 bucks, not really in balace with the machine price from my point of view. Or does anybody know i can order them from anycubic for a better price in larger quantities (5pcs).

Thanks for thinking.

Hi first post , have machined ordered but no here yet and i have a Q, Is it conman place to hollow a model before printing to save on resin?

Hello, and thanks for letting me join the group. I bought a regular photon and found it easy so far, then through a stroke of luck anycubic gave me a returned photon s. Enjoying both, a nice add on to my FDM printers for sure. I also deal with FDM and SLM metal powder machines at work. I am on the hunt for a good slicer, came across chitcubox, but it seems to have some bugs on both my Pcs. Is there a slicer that works, even if it costs a few bucks?

I was feeling pretty cocky with all the fantastic prints i was getting out of my photon so i decided to reward her with another new FEP.
since wiping out the inside of the machine and changing FEP, my photon (non S) failed within first 3min of 7-8 prints.
I did some googling and upgraded to EPAX firmware from Vini's post that helped several people solve this. but was still happening.
I found that the AC connector to my AC brick felt a little loose so i replaced it and now it won't [beep beep, power cycle, leave plate at bottom] but instead it memory errors M_11820 at 70% into my 6h print.

thoughts ? before my 8A power supply arrives on sunday to replace my 6A ?

So, i've been running functional prints with the PrimaCreator Value resin, which is pretty nice, with plenty of toughness. I find it a bit brittle though. Is there a way to overcome this? I've looked for Sirayatech Blu, but I can't find a European based supplier for it.

I have looked at the eSun resins aswell, but I have the same problem as with the Sirayatech one.

What are my fellow Europeans running on their Photons?

So a question to any owners that have hooked up their Photon to an active carbon tank to pump the fumes out of their machine via the thingyverse back panel adapter:
Did you take out the built in small fan from the chamber with the filter to allow for better airflow? Even though the thingyverse adapter goes to the back the machine has lots of vent holes at the bottom where the fumes may still come out. Did you cover this up in any way or left it as is? The reason i am asking is that i have hooked up my photon to such an exaust solution and did two prints wtih Elegoo Grey which i specifically bought because people say it has much less of a smell (which thankfully is correct). Everything was great and i could be within the same room without noticing any strong smell at all.
I know switched back for a print to the AC Green and the fumes deffinately very there again in the room. So i am thinking that either the setup is somehow not working correctly or that maybe i still need to patch up other holes on the machine (i.e.: bottom vent openings) so that the fumes can only go in one direction (to the carbon filter tank)
The problem is i bought the machine with 5L extra resin which i would really not like to throw out but if i can only print with Elegoo Resin to avoid getting gassed in my own house than thats my last option.
Thoughts? Insights?
This is how its setup currently. There is a Vents 100 VKO1 inline fan installed to suck out the fumes into the carbon tank. 翻譯年糕

And here it is. My first ever real resin print. Since the figure is so small the little blemishes i created during my support removal (and there's still some stuff left) look worse then they actually are especially since they basically are only visible in the macro shots :D

Overall i am extremely happy and amazed at the level of detail this printer.

I wonder, has anyone written a macro that will change the layer height at a specified height? Lets say I am printing something with a base that doesn't need as fine a layer height as the parts above the base. For minis I reckon this could shave as much as 15-20% off the print time.
