Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » TPU

Anyone else having problems with slicing supports in ChiTuBox v1.4? The bottom and middle of Some supports don’t seem to be sliced into to the output, just the connection point. This is visible in the preview after slicing and in the file validator. The problem seems more prevalent with light supports.

I’ve gotten around the issue by adding supports in v1.4, saving the project and then opening the project in v1.3 for slicing.

I completed the sagrada-familia project.

I installed hollow and dig holes by mesh- mixer and installed supports by chitubox and B9creator.
The B9creator works well with the support of a very fine overhang (star, cross).

Thin, wide and flat pieces were rotated by 10 to 15 degrees by mesh- mixer. Outputting horizontally may cause the platform to fall during output.

I printed out all five pieces and completed the entire model with adhesive.

The color will be painted slowly.

STL name is 'sagrada-familia-complete-barcelona'

Hey Guys, so... i have a few questions i would like for the community to help me with. Sorry it will be a bit of a long post xD.

I got my Photon this week. Here's what i did (questions come after :p ).

- Checked everything was working properly working, turned on the printer, checked if the Z-Axis was moving, if the screen was ok, etc.

- Ditched the stock PSU and USB drive (tested the PSU and its outputing the correct voltage but i ditched it anyway), im using another one i had here with the exact same specs, USB drive im now using a Kingston one.

- Disconnected the "smelling" fan from the main board to avoid the fumes from getting out and stinking up the place. (Planing to upgrade the stock led cooling fan, suggestions???)

- Checked every screw to see if everything was properly tightened (the buildplate wasnt, it would move even after tightening the grub screw).

- Checked the FEP tension with a sound analyzer, it was below 300hz... tuned it to 345-355hz.

- Applied Kapton tape to the borders of the screen (to avoid a spill going into the machine in case that happens).

- Adjusted the buildplate to be completely flat against the screen, made sure that the plate was making even pressure on the paper on all sides (front, back, left and right). After that i leveled the printer and set the new Z=0 (didnt forget to hit Home first :p ).

- Finally i heated up the resin (room temp was 19C) and started the default print file that came with the printer (photos attached).

So, now some questions.

1 - The new yellow windows, how good are they at blocking UV? The printer is not on a direct sunlight enviroment, not even daylight for that matter, but the room does have okayish lighting (there is no light directly above the printer), i am safe to assume resin wont cure while inside? I know i can cover up the printer but im trying to understand if its really necessary.

2 - Do you guys filter the resin and clean the vat after every print? I saw some people mentioning it... but to be completely honest i've never done that with my other printer, well... my other printer doesnt have the leaking risk this one has... So... what do you guys do?

3 - Firmware... my printer came with version 4.2.3... I dont see that in Anycubic site, anyone has the changelog for this fw? Just curious.

4 - Recommendations for resin, im looking for high detail. Impact resistance is not really important right now (Anycubic resins, how do they stack up against the competition?)

5 - Which one is better for the screen to last more? Slow or fast resins?

And for now thats it! Thanks guys...one of the reasons i got the Photon was for this awesome community =)

嘿, 夥計們, 所以... 我有幾個問題想讓社羣幫我解決. 抱歉, 這將是一個漫長的帖子xd.

我這周得到了我的光子. 這就是我所做的(問題之後: p).

-檢查一切正常運作, 開啟印表機, 檢查z軸是否移動, 螢幕是否正常等等.

-丟棄了存貨psu和usb驅動器(測試psu及其輸出正確的電壓, 但我還是拋棄了它), 我在這裡使用了另一個, usb驅動器, usb驅動器現在使用金斯敦.

-從主板上斷開"聞"風扇, 以避免煙霧出來, 讓地方臭. (計劃升級庫存led冷卻風扇, 建議???)

-檢查了每個螺絲, 看一切是否都收緊了(建築板沒有, 甚至在收緊後也會移動).

-用音效分析儀檢查了fep緊張, 低於300 hz... 調到345-355 hz.

-將kapton磁帶應用到螢幕的邊界(以防發生洩漏到機器).

-調整構建板完全平坦, 以確保板塊對紙板對紙面(前, 背面, 左和右)施加壓力. 之後, 我平平了印表機, 設定了新的z =0 (沒有忘記先打家: p).

-最後我加熱樹脂(房間溫度為19 c), 並啓動了印表機的預設列印檔案(照片附後).

所以, 現在有一些問題.

1-新的黃色窗戶, 阻擋紫外線有多好? 印表機不在直接陽光環境上, 連白天也沒有, 但房間確實有okayish照明(印表機上方沒有光), 我可以安全地假設樹脂治癒嗎? 我知道我可以掩飾印表機, 但我試著理解是否真的有必要.

2-你們在每次列印後過濾樹脂並清理增值稅嗎? 我看到有些人提到它... 但老實說, 我從來沒有和我的另一個印表機做過, 好吧... 我的另一個印表機沒有洩漏風險... 那麼... 你們這些傢伙是甚麼? 做甚麼?

3-固件... 我的印表機有4.2.3. 版.. 我沒看到在任何立方體網站, 有人有這個fw的改裝? 只是好奇.

4-樹脂推薦, 我正在尋找詳細的細節. 現在抵御衝擊並不重要(任何立方體樹脂, 他們是如何堆積起來對抗競爭的?) 你知道嗎?

5-哪一個更好讓螢幕持續更多? 慢或快速樹脂?

現在就這樣! 謝謝大家... 我得到光子的原因之一是這個很棒的社羣=)

Beginners luck - 7 prints so far only, 2 fails - love the quality this thing can output

Is there a G-Code script to turn on the lamp with the panel wide open? I am trying to check the UV output and uniformity. The built-in test leaves the center closed, which is not very useful since most prints are made there.

I got my replacement Photon from Amazon yesterday. No problems with this one.

I got it up and running, then printed the test model from the memory stick. It turned out great, so I decided to try out the 'experiment' that I actually bought the printer for- Making molds to cast urethane parts in.

I ran the print overnight- and it came out great. I'm new to DLP printing, and though I've watched a lot of videos, I used a lot of guesswork, so I was GLAD when it worked out. I cleaned up the mold a bit to remove supports, assembled it, and poured a test. It is PERFECT.

I am really impressed by this printer... While I've seen pics of the output before, actually holding the prints in your hand is amazing- The quality of the print and level of detail is great.

I’ve just updated to the latest beta version of slic3r prusa edition which has the sl1 in it so it can now do resin prints trying to get it to work with the photon but tried just changing the output file to a .photon file but ChiTubox says it is an invalid file not tried it in the printer yet anyone else tried it and got it working as the support system seems better then the other options to date as it explains the settings and what they do thanks

So I just tried to print with Chitubox 1.3
No Z axis movement. It doesn’t even try. I selected the Photon as my printer. It slices and outputs just fine. The printer reads it no problem. But when i hit print it immediately starts exposing. Doesnt move the plate or anything

What the heck am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys I need your intput.

I am currently doing female/male insert keys for my split model parts.

I wanted to know if you had a trick for mesure tolerance for smooth insertion based on the phyical scale of the model keys?

I am currently using zbrush,meshmixer,chitubox and flashprint. I wouldnt mind using another one if it would help out with that.

Thank you all!

Hi guys, new to here!

4 quick questions:

1. Can you get flexible resins e.g. like TPU filament?

2. How does the resin strength compare to e.g. PLA, ABS etc?

3. Outside of figurines, what practical uses can you get from resin e.g. are they good/ bad for outdoor use, are they heat resistant etc?

4. How long do the prints take to do in mm, e.g. 1 hour per 20mm in height?

Apologies if these questions have been asked before, but I couldn't find any information. Cheers!
