Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » Google

Hi there and thanks for the add. I have a question. My photon was printing awesome since I got it, but today I had to cancel a print since it wasn't coming out right.
Well now all the lights are on, i can press the screen and switch menus but nothing is working on it. The Z axis isn't moving when I select that, I can't get the screen to do it's little test flash. NOTHING.
If I read what I googled, I need to reflash the EEPROM? Is that correct?

Just checking and hopefully that is the least of the issues lol.

Thanks,
Scott

hey guys, have a question that I can't find an easy answer to on google: (perhaps I am not typing the right query). I used an iphone app, Capture for the scan below (now an STL in meshlab) ~ but I can't find any resource to 'thicken the backside' so that I can print this on my photon. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Here is a link to the image for a PiZeroW WiFi Thumbdrive:

https://drive.google.com/…/1sh5zXyoxc1IQGEPHbKztDUQXd…/view…

Download and burn the image to an SD card. Minimum 4GB

Create wpa_supplicant.conf and ssh files on the boot partition. I do not *think* you can plug in a keyboard and monitor to run "sudo raspi-config" to enable WiFi or ssh as the USB port has been set to mass storage.

Find the Pi on your network, log in with putty or similar, run raspi-config to change user passwords from default, set the name of the Pi on the network, update if you want to.

This image only has a 512MB share to squeeze the image down to under 3gigs. If you need/want larger, run the following commands:

sudo rm /photon.bin

sudo dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/photon.bin count=2048

(2G partition, 4096=4G, 8192=8G and so on) Make sure you leave room for the OS!

sudo mkdosfs /photon.bin -F 32 -I

sudo reboot now

Files are actually synced between a folder and a disc image, so you really need twice the space on your as you set photon.bin to be. You can find your free space by typing "df". Use less than half of what you have available.

That's it! You should be able to browse to the pi via network and upload/save files that your photon can use.

If anyone tries this please let me know success or failure.

I assume anyone attempting this already has some knowledge of writing image files to SD, configuring a Pi to run headless, and accessing the terminal headless, or at least can Google these things.

Ran into a very bizarre issue today that I haven't seen before. (I'm not even sure what to Google for more information)

There are just visible plateaus of resin. The bottom of the model at one point simply didn't print or separated?

Resin: Anycubic Green

Things I've tried so far:
• Different exposure settings.
• Different USB sticks.
• Putting the file through an STL repair.

Other oddities:
• I've printed this model before from this exact file.
• Other models print fine.
• Started happening after replacing FEP.
• After replacing FEP, this model wouldn't print with regular exposure, had to up it from 10s to 12s or it would leave a single layer of hardened resin on the bed.
• Printer is not near UV light sources.
• Temperature is moderately controlled.

Apologies for asking but I’m completely stumped. I am trying to convert an .obj file (mesh) to a solid of any file format (STL, STEP or anything). I’ve tried the following with no luck:

Meshmixer (it just exports a mesh even though it says that is is solid),

FreeCAD - too many faces

GrabCAD - crashes

Solidworks - too many faces

+many more

Can anyone help please - iv Googled the hell out of it and tried lots of programs. I’m downloading a trial of sketchup to see it that will work.

I need to end up with a solid in inventor that I can edit.

Grateful for a steer, thank you.

Hi gang! Found the Google docs for resin but the Saraya Blu wasn't on it. Is there an updated one with those settings?
Cheers!

Note) I am not an engineer and the following is just a summary of Google search results.

The Z-axis used by photon and EPAX are all based on guide rails using bearings, but they are different types.

Photon is a SG (Speed Guide) type with three bearings located between two steel rods. EPAX is an OSG(Outside speed guide) type with four bearings located on the outside of two steel rods.

SG type is good for Y direction load. OSG type is Good for Z direction load.

The SG rail is less noise, durable and easier to maintain than a linear motion (LM) guide rail. However, since it has fewer contact points than LM guide rails, it is not suitable for high loads.

If print size increases like phrozen, it would be appropriate to use the LM guide rail.

And Photon-S consists of two SG type rails combined together. It can be said that the combination of SG type and OSG type. It's also much wider than Photon's rails.

I can be sure that EPAX's Z-axis is more stable than Photon. However, the performance of Photon-S double SG type rails will not be known until there is a detailed comparison.

Hi guys and thanks for accepting me into this group!

I'm looking into getting an SLA machine to mostly print these kinds of figurines..

Can I assume the Photon can give out prints with a professional finish for casting and producing on a larger scale?

Also I'm wondering what is the learning curve like on SLA machines compared to FDM? I'm used to FDM printing and the issues that come with it. But like is bed levelling a huge pain and has to be completely redone between every print? or is it okay to level it once every so often like with FDM?

Also where do you guys get your resin? I see it varies in price even more than FDM filaments vary!

thanks in advanced and looking forward to seeing your replies and photos :D

Trying my new Anycubic Black Resin, using this setup from this google link. Turned out quite okay. And i’am using the photon slicer. The flat surface looks nice and smooth. The top object was using the default setting and the bottom one using the new setting.

Layer 0,050
- normal exposure: 9
- Offtime: 2
- Bottom exposure: 55
- Bottom layer: 8
- Room temp: 22

I do not have Photon-S. All the information I know is collected from other users.

However, I was able to get manuals and slicers from users of Photon-S. The manual is in Chinese.

I hope this helps everyone to get information about Photon-S.
