Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » EX

The light could be failing. It's a consumable part and will start to go bad after a while of use.

Yeah, it's pretty straight forward. Did you tune it?

I’ve got two I the mail. I put these big gross stretch marks in mine.

can you define tuning it? I flicked it gently with my fingernail to hear the sound and it seems just like stock

Yeah. Super easy right? I’ve done it about 10 times now

considering it needs to be so perfect and and wrinkle free, it's intimidating having never done it before. I saw in the video on the anycubic youtube page for replacing a fep that you want a bottle cap thats about 13mm, so I went around my place measuring bottle caps till I had one that size haha

Tucker Adams I did the same! Now make sure you don’t lose it lol

its the cap to a gas x bottle haha, I am sure it'll be around indefinitely

Tucker Adams if you want to get precise, you can use a guitar tuning app on your phone. I tune my to 340 hz.

ohhhhhh very nice! I'll check that out for sure!

20 ounce mountain dew bottle works great,too

Is there a specific FEP we need to get? I have the photon zero and want to have a few on hand for when I need them.

https://www.amazon.com/....../ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin......

this is what I got. I installed it with no issues, I have a print going on it right now so I can speak to whether or not it's working out for me

I was so nervous my first time changing the FEP, but once I got it tuned, All I could think was "am I missing something? That was way too easy!"

Why not first find the right settings for 1 model and then add more to the plate ? saves you a lot of resin ?

Kevin Lems do far the photon classic has no real way to dial up the resolution. I should have printed it on the S. And I print in bulk because I sell kits. So I need to take that chance. It's worth it in the end. I have 8 resin and 2 filiment printers that run 24/7 365. This stuff happens! But I print at least 100 things a week.
It's part of the process.....I call it success from failures!

Robert Small haha my bad ? tought it was a first time failure ? but in your case I can understand it's worth taking the risk ? what kind of kits do you sell of I may ask? ?

Kevin Lems I'm in the process of designing kits out of early manned space race this was a never realized x20 Dyna-Soar that Boeing had proposed and was to be our first space vehicle before the Mercury space capsule but once Russia launched Gagarin into space we dropped the project for mercury

Looks amazing! ? must be a really fun project to work on ?? did you design the models and parts yourself?

Yes I have been in 3D graphics since 1988.

Damn! You must have a ton of experience! Can I borrow some? ? ? I've just started using Blender and Forger (ipad) for making sculpts and models. Wich programs do you use?

I've used almost every program out there without exaggerating but I can tell you the newest version of Blender is more capable then anyone under designing nuclear reactors could need!
As a matter of fact the new version I notice is starting to mimic al l of the other 3D programs combined. Since it's an open source software hundreds of thousands of us have been making suggestions because we have been using blender and everybody else's program. So you can imagine I highly recommend blender for two reasons it's easy to use and a comprable program costs nothing under than $1,500 a year just to use.
So let that sink in a comprable program to Blender say 3D Studio Max charges you $1,500 a year it is not a one-time cost.

Nice! Thanks for the info ?? gonna stick with Blender ?? it has a lot of functions but there are also a lot of tutorials to follow. So I will keep working with it ?

Kevin Lems let me know if you need help.
I'll point you to instruct if I can.

Look into DAZ if you want humans and animals. The models merge with Blender. And it's a free one also.

Robert Small I'll definitely let you know ?? thanks!

Not sure what you mean? The photon and the s are both capable of the same resolution: looks like your exposure is a problem

Scott Pavlich no...no...my slicers say different. There are no resolution settings to effect the resolution. Even in Chitubox that feature drops off the the classic setting so your ony at the #4 setting as resolution. I print things with very fine detail twenty-four hours a day 365 days a year and I print over a hundred parts a week.

Disagree: you can only print so well with a 2K resolution screen. I can pull equally as well with both my S’s and my reg photons regardless of the slicer

Scott Pavlich cool

Robert Small please explain as i am keen to understand if there is a real difference between the machines or clippers. do you use chitubox for both?

Jim Monty no it's really a few things like how old the screen is. Because I print so much it's most likely that the screen is becoming what turns out to be out of focus. So the slicers settings are no help. I have changed 15 screens in 2 years. And u n otice as time goes buy one if the signs your gear is at the end of life in that screen is what's in this shot.
Plus in 3d (I've been using 3D software since 1988) you're looking at what's called a point cloud and it is what its name defines your 3D model is merely a cloud of points at any time from the transference changing it from one program to the next information can be dropped that while you see the full image on the screen the information may not transfer during the time of the slice.
I've only been doing this for the last 5 years so a tiny bit of what I'm saying is speculation.
But I have to classics two s's and 3 Elegoo Mars printers and even from printer to printer there are minut changes that's so far aren't predictable.

Which has produced the finest detail of your three types?

Jim Monty I think so far the S and the Elegoo are neck and neck. The difference is the cost in screens and noise volume. The S is more the twice the cost of the screen of the Elegoo but.... The Elegoo is real loud! The Anycubic is more restrictive when it comes to access to the interior and the Elegoo is the simplest to level. It's like any tool. You learn in time how you can make the printer do what you want.

Tip time. With a 3D object because the skin changes in dimension of the object simply rotating it in a different orientation in the slicer can sometimes clean up the model.
So by simply going into the slicer in rotating the model into directions you might not think you would want to use or it might be a problem to clean up is sometimes what saves the project.

All of these 5.5" printers have the exact same screen. Some just have different connector ribbons but the screen itself is the same.

Nipuna Gunarathne Thank you.

If this was printed at an angle, you would begin to see layer and pixel lines. Great test though, with informative results.

You know, I've been having a hard time printing at 0.02 layer height. What settings do you use when you print at that height?

i have Ameralabs AMD3 and i print at 4 sec exposures

im trying a vertical print now

Cool thank you!

right, a vertical (upright) print at 0.02mm gives much better definition even after priming. the negative spaces are between 0.085 and 0.12mm and the heights of each block average 0.5mm

primed these are the upright ones

and these are the less defined printed flat on build plate

google "do it again"

you can just make a mouse macro

Not really what I was after as I was hoping to just be able set it going on around 100 models and then just leave it, can’t do that with a mouse macro

sure you can

do the support part, save it using a spreadsheet or notepad w/ keyboard commands (click on window border, then arrow key down to select a cell, then copy, paste into save window file name)

click on the window containing the files, click down arrow, drag into chitu, repeat

it will take a few tries to get the script repeating perfectly but its entirely doable, ive done it with thousands of repetitions in CAD programs

Derek Reihe I’ll give it a try but it seems massively more awkward than just a simple cmd line option like the supports and the exporting!

you can try emailing them but I dont think what you are asking for exists

Derek Reihe yeah, it’s what I feared, but that’s for the help!

Aceton will break thr resin down.

Angus Sanders good to know. Apparently even cured resin, cause the IPA did NOTHING here, so it must've already cured..

Daniel Kottmair yea just leave it to soak, takes a bit of time but it breaks it down.

Angus Sanders IPA? I tried soaking for hours to no effect..

Daniel Kottmair no leave it soaking in acetone. IPA doesn’t do anything really

possible to get the stl? love it! great work!

Marco Schmitz Thank you, I'm glad that you liked the work! Unfortunately I do not give stl, it is important for me to preserve the uniqueness of the work.

How much to make a custom design for me ?

That is some great work!

Beatiful work! I've been following your posts and thanks for tips :)

Another great job.... Congrats!!

Omg this is the cutest thingbive ever seen

Amazing work!

I'd like to know more about the process of creation of the eyes :o how did you do them?
They are WONDERFUL!

WOW! This is totally amazing work! Be proud of this! ?? ?? ?? ?

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Gold Walker , Do you mean 3D model, or complete creature?

Dmitry K Valberg Thanks!

Rastko Stanojevic thank you very much, I appreciate that!!

Luis de la Peña Thank you!!

Sargent Raze Thanks :)

Michael Fieweger Thanks! I always try my best! :)

Francesco Ostili Oh, they're made from 2 separate parts. Clear hemisphere and iris part. and then they're glued with clear resin.

Ingemar Rååd Thank you very much!

Vera Ermakova but are they 3D printed? :O

Francesco Ostili Yeah, they are :)

How did you create that effect (the iris) with the resin?
Did you mesh differet colour?

I heard you were going to release a tutorial. am I wrong?

Francesco Ostili Iris - is separate part, which I paint manually, before glue it with hemisphere.

I told that I could make a tutorial someday, but currently I have no time for that...

Awesome work!!!!!
You are amazing!!

Pedro Torres Thank you so much!!

Vera Ermakova yes

From Russia with love, amazing colour and detail. You are truly gifted artist. ??

That still looks like some amazing detail though. Good job!

Mind blown

I'm over here printing decent goblins and feeling good about myself. You are making works of art!

Not sure what it is but it is awesome.

Congrats .. Breathtaking ;)

Michael Inwood thank you :)

Ernest Sandridge Ill , Thank you!!!

Chad Weber , Thanks!!

Josh Tollison , thank you! I am really trying to make the art :)

Marcin Brodowski , thank you very very much!!

Gold Walker Sooo... Yes - what you mean exactly? :)

Vera Ermakova I mean to create the STL file I can print myself sorry

Gold Walker Well , that depends of many things :) So you can message me to clarify things.

Vera Ermakova I have sent PM

Why is it whenever I feel like I'm below avg at something. Stuff like this really makes me realize how far into the ground I am at stuff lol this is just beautiful in every possible aspect!

It is awesome, but if it's the first 3d thing they sculpted and they did it with mudbox, the first 3d program they used, how did they know that it has less features than z-brush?

Потрясающая работа, завораживающе красиво. Изумительная идея и исполнение. Спасибо!

Beautiful work (y)

Dave Dewees , Thanks! I shared this work now, but it doesn't mean this is the last work ;) I've been using ZBrush for half of a year now :)

Hutch Heberer , Thank you very much!

Sol Aris Огромное спасибо! :)

3 on one finger, you re a bling star

Great job

Super cool!

Jerome Dupont IV ? hehehe.

Neil Burns Thank you.

Yeah they have some pretty good stuff! And another way to describe what in looking for is like model kits

Highly recommend mini monster mayhem for their dragons!
