Photon S - LCD life time/power output

My printer prints about 8 hours everyday. I can not find a definite source for the life of the photon LCD life. I want to preemptively change the LCD before it reaches below maybe 80% of original output. I am afraid my LCD will be weakened from long term use and produce insufficient cured parts to my customers.

Based on your experience, when do you change your LCD? Does it work great and just suddenly break, or maybe it slowly degrades?

So I finally got around to upgrading my Photon S firmware to v5.0.2 this week and it has been a real game changer. I'm amazed I'm not seeing more people chatting about it on here. Things it has impacted for me:

1. The vat peel function is amazing. See pic. Instead of pulling out the vat, I just wait 45 seconds, grab the corner, and pull the residue in nice neat layer straight out of it. I don't even pull the vat out of the machine. It makes those inevitable print failures a lot less painful and time-consuming.

2. Enabling .photon file format has finally given me (roundabout) AA support in Chitubox. In Chitu I use the Photon printer profile modded with photon S settings and can slice the files just fine with AA. Note--I tried the configuration trick to get the Photon S profile to show the antialias settings and that doesn't work--the sliced file is still the same size and not the bigger antialiased one.

3. Photon file validator!! I've always been sad I couldn't use this... but now I can just output in .photon and go about it. The software side of things is the only downside I've ever considered to the S model--I like the higher wattage lamp and dual rail. Now I've started running everything through it.

4. Proper resin exposure test. I did both the RERF anycubic stl file and one a member here uploaded to thingiverse (more traditional flat style one) and both confirmed my settings were correct. But it was great to have another way to properly confirm that. Future resins will be much less troublesome as well.

Downsides - I've heard of some people having trouble opening files but I haven't run into that. The only thing different I've noticed is the first print I did--testing a known good file (.photons, sliced in chitu) that I just printed before the firmware update--printed fine but the print time estimate went from 13h to 16h. I'm not sure if it took that long because I didn't come back right on time and didn't run a separate timer. ?‍♂️

I have two Photon printers (Photon classic and Photon S White).

I'm not able to use one WORKING slicer for both printers.

PWS 2.1.17 is creating nonworking .photon files
while
Anycubic Slicer 1.3.6 and Chitubox 1.5 is not able to create .pws files required for new Photon S

Also .photons file format seems to be obsolete, cause it is not supported in some firmwares anymore and Chitubox is not able to create .photons files with AA.

Also some slicers have some problems with Win7 and some with Win10.

Any idea?

Does it mean that I need to use several slicers to finish usable outputs?

What is your favorite resin vat cover?

Does it need to really seal on the vat or is it more to keep light and dust out?

I am thinking TPU might be a good material.

Thanks for opinions.

I've just discovered that ChiTu Box can read GCODE and preview it. We could do all sorts of crazy infills using classic slicers (Cura, Slic3r, Simplify3D, etc.) with settings adjusted in a way that ChiTu box will produce reasonable outputs... I'll play with it more and post results.

This is for the Photon S owners :)
I really liked the Photonsters XP test, so I rearranged it to work with the R_E_R_F of Photon S printers.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3973475

Compared to the original R_E_R_F, This lets you tune exposure times using less resin (9ml) in a shorter time (~12min), and gives you an output which is easier to read and store.

(This resin is Creality Skin. it tuned in at 5.5s)

After sitting in a box for a couple months I finally unboxed. Here is a result of my first print (the test file) I leveled twice. I’m concerned about the stripes on my lcd but the the only output I’ve gotten are the green strips of plastic this is the put out of the test file . Resin filament is 5/5/20

Looking for suggestions on where to start trouble shooting

Just wondering if there's any follow-up to these posts. Any chance the File Validator could one day even the light output out by merging a mask (image format) with all the layers in a photon file? Would it be an option, to have such an "active calibration", so that one could use the build area edge to edge with little to no variation in light distribution?

Apart from printing Yoda's, Benchy's and other models, I was wondering if anyone out there uses their Photon for creating more unusual, or even commercial products?

I appreciate that unlike the FDM printers with multiple filament types, the resins are a little more restrictive, but am sure there still some interesting alternative uses for the output from these machines.
