Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » firmware

Hello guys.
I've searched on here and tried what i could find as well as Google and github.

No usb's work. No files work. Including renaming.
Including updating firmware files, so I can't update.
This is what I get for all files.
Tried opening and plugging directly to motherboard.
Tried powering off and unplugging.

Any other suggestions?

First, thanks for all the help and patience. One more firmware update question. Based on some Reddit I read, there should be three files to "print" for each update. I have the upgrade for Photon and Fauxton, both have only two files. Am I good?

Edit: the Photon (Not Fauxton) is not recognizing the update.LCD file, it "printed" the .bin file and confirmed.

Firmware question: I have gotten links in comments for firmware upgrades, always to different places. Is there a reason not to just use the firmware update on anycubic site? I need to update Fauxton and a Photon

Edit: I have owned these one week, first time 3D printer, just learning everything...

Dear Photoner Masters,

My front lcd off, fans off, the only indicator that i see is red light under the z axis.

It was happened after i try to downgrade my 4.2.19 firmware to 4.2.3, i got it from github, because my other photon works with 4.2.3.

Is there any thing i can do to put my photon to last working state? or

Is there any way to hard reset the firmware to factory settings?

Or just pull the mainboard out and re-programing it?

Since my front lcd off, i cant do anyting.

Here i post image and video.

Thanks

Edy

Curious, as we know the Original Photon has network port. Anyone tried to get WiFi working? e.g. plugging in Chitu WiFi module ? I have another printer brand using same type of board. Firmware has network and wifi support.

Okay, so this is the second machine in a row which, after very little use has suffered the 11800 curse. (Where it crashes mid print because it mistakenly thinks the USB stick has been removed)
I've updated the firmware. I've tried multiple USB sticks and plugged them directly into the mother board. All to no avail.
Here's something odd, though. If I run a dry print (with no resin in the vat) it runs perfectly. Once I add resin I get 11800 sometimes as late as 80% through.
Current theory: vibration of cured resin being pulled from the vat causing a disconnect which suggests a physical fault somewhere.
Is there anything else I can try before I send this one back as well?

Hi guys, after printing the first layer, my photon freezes and continually beeps at me approximately 1 time every 2 seconds. There is no error code and my firmware is up to date. Any ideas on the issue. Thanks!

Hello all!

I've been printing on my photon for about 3 months now. After the initial learning curve, I thought I had everything dialed in, but now I'm not so sure. I recently tried switching to Elegoo ABS like Gray after being mostly successful with Anycubic gray. I switched because I've seen rave reviews over Elegoo Gray's level of detail and ABS like's strength, but it's been one failed print after another.

I mostly use the printer for tabletop miniatures, so I'm not printing anything huge. I ran the calibration test, and came up with a shockingly high 16s exposure time. I print in my basement, so I expect exposure times to be a little longer due to it being chilly. I then printed the Ameralabs town which came out ok, if a little overexposed and blurry looking. From then on, things got worse. I put several different miniatures, all supported using prusaslicer auto support and manual additions, on build plate and left it overnight. Waking up the next morning left me scratching my head. Half of the models were completely missing from their supports, and the other half had thin layers of resin where it seemed like a support had failed.

I've tried everything I can think of. I've releveled several times (paper and Reed method, but I get better results with paper) I've changed the FEP, I tried updating my firmware (currently on 4.2.18 I believe, I'm at work currently) and more. The funny thing is, when I went back to a bottle of anycubic transparent I had, almost everything failed in the same way, with only one usable model remaining. Please help, I'm at my wit's end!

Hello. I v had the photon printer for about a month now. Everything was going smoothly until recently when my last two prints came out this way. The only thing that has changed is I updated the firmware but I had a successful print with it until the problem kicked in. Any thoughts cause I m lost? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can shine a light on a problem.
Trying to do a R_E_R_F test on a photon s (got the latest test from thingiverse) The printer doesn't seem to be able to recognise the .pws file. From looking about, it seems like people are updating firmware to read other file formats not just the .pws format. so wondering why this printer wont read it as we can print from .photons
thanks in advance.
