Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » firmware

I have an obj file with a simple 3d model in it, when I open in the anycubic firmware it has a polygon shape, and same file inside the blender looks smooth. how to fix it so that it will print the same way as it looks in blender?

Hello Guys,

so i kinda lost the overview about what firmware is for what photon and so on.

I know i got an original Photon (got it over a year ago).

Whenever i turn the machine on i have to check wether the display works or not. For that i have to remove the vat and to the UV test over and over again.
It NEVER works on the first try and i have to restart the machine atleast 10-15 times until it works.

Can anyone tell me what Firmware is the best solution for that?
Btw. i already changed the mainboard as i thought it was broken and anycubic sent me a new one. This hasnt changed anything.

I joined this group a few weeks ago and I have been reading and studying a lot mostly due to a torn achilles tendon. I am grateful for the all the posts and information in this group.
I am getting ready to start my first print using Anycubic Grey Resin. I have attached photos of my supports in chitubox, my settings for the printer and for the resin. Would you review and let me know if you think I have a high chance of success. I have seen a number of failed prints and I would like to avoid that as much as possible. I also turned on anti-aliasing and set it to level 4. My firmware and everything is all updated and ready to go as far as i know. I checked level and did everything per the instructions on youtube and other forums as well.
Should i tilt my project 45 degrees or so? Are my light supports good enough or should i add some heavy supports Is there any reason not to use the anti aliasing Slicing is only necessary for large files that don't fit the print area. Is this correct?
Thanks for your time and consideration. 翻譯年糕

Could someone tell me the latest firmware for a photon, not the s. Is 5.0.2 for the s version?

***FIXED***
I'm running elegoo standard grey resin.
Bottom exposure @ 8 layers/75 sec.
Then 8 sec exposure.
I get the reassuring "pop" when my first layers go down.
I've releveled "Flint" but my printer has started doing this, it was fine.
I think the fep has become slack, and to cloudy.
Could any one help?
Here's what I was trying to do and here's my result. The
badges are only 20mm by 2mm thick.
Printed flat, at 45 and 45 with a slight twist.

UPDATE.. Checked the uv light and it was ok.
Updated the firmware as this was susgested to 4.2.18.
But I think it was the fep, I checked it using the sound spectrum and it was at 234 mhz tightened it to 344mhz and the prints are great.

2 questions.

1. My new bottle of anycubic green prints in this faded dark army green colour instead of the candy green see through of the last bottle. Shook it right up and no change. Is this ok?

2.Looking into upgrading to anti aliasing firmware, how do I know which photon I have and which firmware to use?

Thank you in advance

Resolved.

Hey guys looking for some advice or anyone else who has experienced this issue.

Fairly new to printing. I have a Photon S and my prints have been turning out well so far.

Today I encountered an issue where the printer is unable to open the files. The menu is sometimes quite slow when the USB is plugged in.

I've tried with a new USB formatted to FAT32 and the issue persists. Flashed the firmware to V502.

解決了.

嘿, 大家在尋找一些建議, 或者其他經歷過這個問題的人.

相當新鮮的列印. 我有一個光子s, 到目前為止我的指紋都很好.

今天遇到印表機無法開啟檔案的問題. 當usb插入時, 選單有時相當慢.

我嘗試使用一個新的usb格式為fat32, 問題持續存在. 將固件閃爍到v502.

Ok continuing from my last post. We may be onto the troubleshooting the human error possibility. I tried printing out some gun barrels. Quick and easy print. I had just updated my firmware because of what I believed were slicing issues. This is what happened... I’m totally confused. It looks like my entire lcd is lighting up at the end of a print. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Hey everyone,

It's been a long time. Had some troubles with my Photon and focussed on FDM ?

But now I'm trying to print again with the Photon and I'm getting 2 different errors ??‍♂️

First one is P_4, second one is M_11020.

Could someone please tell me what to do ?

It's an OG Blue window Photon with the original firmware it came with ?

Hi Folks,
Sorry to bother people again, but I'm after some advice with this printer. I've recently got the Photon S, and after two weeks of printing, I still don't have what I would call a satisfactory print. I've followed guidance from these Photon Groups on Facebook (being careful to distil the info between those posting about the Photon and the Photon S), and i'm still finding relatively dissapointing prints, where I cannot get clear detail, as reducing the exposure is increasing warp, and increasing exposure is causing the parts to be oversize. Its literally down to a window of a second or two, and at either end of the window I seem to be getting extremes of the effects.

Specs,

Anycubic Photon S

Elegoo Mars ABS-like Grey Resin.

Slicer- Chitubox (medium supports, using the auto function, with some removed/replaced with better cantilvers

Layer height 0.02mm

Bottom layer count 10mm

Exposure time 8.25s (m/c rounds to 8.3)

Bottom Exposure 50s

Light-off delay 6.5s

Bottom light-off delay 0s

I've run a photon S exposure test, and although rather subjective, it indicated an exposure time of around 6s. Firmware is v5.02

The last two prints were as follows. The diesel shunter (see attached pics), 6.5s exposure printed at an angle (nose end up) at 30 degrees, the surfaces and detail were pretty good, but it was parallelogram-ed, leaning back towards the cab. The following print, I put two of the shunters on, one flat in its "normal" orientation, and the other with it stood up on the back of the cab, 8.25s exposure, the engines have ended up very different dimension-ally, and were from identical cad. Each loco is out in a variety of directions/dimensions, but anywhere from 1 to 2mm, in either length, width or height.

So I'm just wondering if anyone has any guidance, as to where I'm going wrong, as these prints and the printer itself aren't of any use to me if they can't print anywhere near remotely accurately. They’re supposed to be able to achieve better than +\-2mm surely.
