Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » mac

So I just realized that I started a new print with the same resin as the print that just finished. I didn’t remove the model inside the machine, but I’m worried bits of cured resin were at the bottom of the vat, and I’m afraid I’m going to come home to a cracked LCD and FEP film. New to this.

What’s the likelihood I damaged something here

PLEASE HELP

Ok so i dont think its the file size anymore, my machine did print last night once i made the file smaller, but it was false hope i tried the same print again and i cannot get the machine past the first Layer without it shitting off and turning back on. I am beyond frustrated now with this printer. So far i have...

unplugged it and left it for a bit... worked once or twice

unplugged it with the power on (should drain all the memory) worked once or twice

did the factory reset, worked once for the next print

tried simple file names, 4 different usbs all freshly formatted

plugged directly into the wall on its own power outlet in case of not enough power.

flashed updated firmware...

Went through the phontonsters github troublshooting

I think thats all the trouble shooting but i cant get her to go this morning

when it prints it looks great.

Hey guys,

I just received my first Photon this week and it's been running great. I've seen alot of videos with people having 4 see-through windows. Mine only came with 2 on either side and the top and front have some type of white film stuck really well onto it. It's not like the normal plastic removal you do when you unpack the machine.

Is this normal or new or somthing ? Printer is brand new directly from anycubic.

SO I ALWAYS ALWAYS have to restart or turn on and off and wait for some prints to start but this one just wont get past the first layer without the machine turing on and off and stopping. is there a max file size?

What’s the smallest support size you guys have success with that doesn’t have prints snap off. Been experimenting with supports in citubox and they seem to have less success on my machine than the default slicers even with the same settings.

Random pic of angel model I made forever ago that I try to print on every machine I have and rarely ever works because I never use enough supports ?

Hi Folks, I'm having some serious problems with this printer suddenly, Here's all the relevant info:

Resin: Monocure Rapid Gunmetal Grey (Settings in Picture)

Chitubox Version: v1.4.0

So I've just switched back to using the gunmetal grey that I originally used to great success. New bottle, but no prints would stick to the plate, only the FEP. I tried the different settings profiles from the Google Doc but to no avail. I tested the frequency of the FEP and found it to be a little low, so I replaced it as I have been using the same one for almost a year now (cloudy and scratched etc). Tested the new FEP frequency and it was perfect. Tried it again with the settings posted, and still the print comes straight off of the plate after 3 or 4%. Monocure plate bond was used every time, and I have also been checking the files with the validator program. At the start of each print I can hear the popping sound of the FEP releasing from the cured resin (as it should) but then it goes quiet almost immediately. I'm completely stumped as to what's wrong with this thing, and I have commissions that i've had to push back for a week now because of this. I've even pre warmed the resin, relevelled copious amounts of times with the flint reed method (Which has always worked wonders for me) and cleaned the machine inside and out.

ANY advice is most greatly appreciated

Hey team. Photon S user here. My machines been working fine for the past 2 months with just user errors thus far. Turned off my machine for 2 weeks and turned it back on. First print failed and I assumed it was my fault. Tried again and it worked. Now on my 5th failed attempt at printing and I finally did some troubleshooting. Do the screen test and got a screen full of lines! (First photo) Turn it off. Turned it back on. Get mostly normal with a few faint lines. (Second photo)Turn it off and back on and keep getting the screen with faint lines. Has my screen gone bad? I haven’t done the update because I like Chitubox. But am thinking about doing it to try and fix the issue. Comments, suggestions, and help all welcome. Thanks team! Uneven illumination is due to angle of pic. It’s the lines that’s the problem.

I need to buy a new FEP sheet since I SOMEHOW managed to lose my spare FEP sheet and I just realised there is a dent/scratch in the FEP that came with the machine.

Planning on buying from amazon germany. any recommendation since anycubic's FEP sheets are stupid expensive. and a good old question. since I will be shopping anyway I am planning to print a D&D figurine for a friend. what is the most used resin for those purposes? All I got that isnt from the original box is monoprice green which I never got printing properly

Plate leveled, fep tuned to 301hz and we'll shaken resin
Nothing on the build plate or the fep ? I didn't think to run it empty and check the uv lights until after a full power cycle and after this they worked fine so now Rerunning. Could it have been a bad file or the machine just having a tantrum or have other people had similar symptoms?
