Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » Maker

Hello Makers :)
I don't remember who posted a short video yesterday about "wash in hot water before curing" but it worked fine for me.
Supports are like smooth or soluble after 5 minutes in hot water. If he read me > Merci :)

Few prints of the day, really happy and still learning.... Hey, i changed my first FEP without trouble !! The most difficult was to find a cap lol.
Anycubic Skin : 0.04 / 8 bottom / 10s Expo / 80s Base / 1s / 0s.

I find how to use my FDM for Photon usage.... ;)
Have Fun !

"Paint it, Black" by Vallejo Surface Primer 74.602 ;)
Photon is really funny 3D printer machine and the community is very open & helpfull.
Some models at the end are failed (cape & shield) but they will be a good start for painting.
Have a good weekend Makers.

Got some of The Makers Cult's Arachknight printed and assembled. Man this thing is awesome!

Hello makers! I guess the proper way of saying hello here is to show a picture of the Cube :D

I got my Photon two days ago and after some initial hassle with getting the model to stick to the build plate I finally got something out of it in 3D. It looked horrible but after some tinkering with supports and exposure time and most important; proper levelling(!) I got the parts that I needed for my 1/72 scale SAAB JA-37 Viggen!

What can I say, I'm so impressed with this machine! ?

Hey folks, looking for some workflow advice. I've mostly been printing my own Fusion360 modelled parts, but a mate came to me today and wanted me to do some miniatures for him. Specifically he wants me to start with this thingiverse one as close to full build volume as possible:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3016354

I don't particularly want to print a single solid fig that size, if nothing else I doubt it will work properly. What I've done in the past for stuff like this (Baby Groot, Toy Story Alien) is to hollow and drain in meshmixer, but this STL seems to be something different to what I've seen before. The model is made up of a whole heap of component meshes. The slicer plays nice and figures out it's meant to be solid, but in Meshmixer or ChiTuBox when I try and hollow it hollows each of the component meshes separately. That gives me a hollow torso, sort of hollow legs, hollow heads, but no connection between (for exaple) the hollow in the orc's body and the hollowing of the base. So I'm trying to make the model a single solid so I can then hollow it and have it work out.

If I use Meshmaker to 'Make Solid', then all the fine details get destroyed. I've tried using Blender (Was thinking Boolean operations would be my friend if I could split the STL into it's components), but it just crashes every time I ask it to split the imported model into it's components.

Anyone got a better suggestion on how to acheive what I'm after, which is basically a hollow version of this model with a ~1.5mm wall?

<> One Week as Noob <>
Hello Makers !
I received my photon last saturday and i'm very satisfied with this Printer.
.
As first, I need to check Chitubox and find a good setting for my Anycubic Skin Resin.
> 0.05 / 8 layers / 10s Expo / 65s Base / 1 Extinction
> 0.035 / 10 layers / 14s Expo / 80s Base / 1 Extinction
.
I did the leveling only few time and it was quite easy.
.
My process is the following :
> Chitubox + Object : If a big one > Heavy Support / If reasonable object > Middle Support.
I enforced the support to be stronger and hollow the part all the time.
> After print > Cleaning with IPA and Denaturated Alcohol (cheaper and working fine). I bought a cheap ultrasonic cleaner and put the part for 6 to 12 minutes in a proper IPA bath.
> Cut Support before cure the object... more easier.
> Dry the print with Aerograph !
> Cured by Sun in metallic little box.
.
So, i did not consumme a litter of resin for the moment but it should be done in few hours lol.
A bad experience was cleaning supports of a cured object and a spot directly comes to my eye... A very bad moment... But after washing it with special water, the little resin spot went out without damage.
So, I will never never never... remove support without Glasses. Please take care.
.
Additionnal cost :
- Ultrasonic Cleaner 30€
- Nails UV system 20€
- Denatured Alcool 2€ / Liter
- Protection glasses 10€
- Patreon addicted... 10€ x2
.
A good surprise was the ring stuff with resin. They look really cool and i need to learn how to paint them and how to apply a paint who can be on skin contact an entire day.
.
I would say than Printing Resin is not the same than FDM systems but if HELL is on Earth, he should be incarned in a Support !!
Supports are a pain in FDM World and Supports are a pain for Resin lol... I should improve this :)
So, i'm still a noob... I think my next step in FEP replacement but for the moment... Need to find Clear resin to try.
.
Have Fun :)

Photon Newbie since 24H !

Hello Makers :)
I would share my first experience with my Photon arrived yesterday morning.

Just to introduce myself, having 2 FDM printers and playing since 2 years. My Hobby is figurine and tabletop.

So... My choice was on Photon and not Photon S because of the long experience YOU have here and different existing software and price is low (and for the difference, i can have more resin bootleS)

Photon arrived in V4.2.3_LCD.0/F2.5 and i upgraded it to V4.2.17_LCD/F2.7 immediatly lol.
Ajusting Z Offset more easier than on FDM... (Except my Delta with AutoLevel :P )

1st Print:
I used the ChiTuBox with AA 8X and put a part + AutoSupport > Skin Anycubic Resin => Disaster... In fact, I did not take care of settings in slicer.

2nd Print:
Listen yours voices and just print the sample Cube => Wooh !! Really cool :) (Even if not crystal clear)

3rd Print and up to now:
Using the spreadsheets > Set better settings for Skin color > Printed a Ring and after 2 tabletop

Now: Tried to print the Orc but something went wrong with support.
Would be happy if you can put a link for better settings or How-To regarding Supports.

So... I'm in south of France and we have lot of Sun except today lol.... so, my prints remain soft for the moment and i ordered a little UV lamp in case of.
I read a lot on this group and thank you so much for sharing Good & Bad issue to permit me to learn.
I was really surprised when i can listen to the "Ploc" sound when bed is moving Up&Down but i read than it's a good sound for DLP.

Sharing some pics... Happy to be here.
This Photon is an incredible printer.
I would recommend it to start Resin at reasonnable cost & for the big family you are.

Have Fun !
