Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » TIP

So, I'm on essentially my 5th or 6th unsuccessful print here and I *still* don't know what is going on. I tried two original prints that maybe weren't supported as well, I managed two 25% scale baby yodas, but there were three on the plate, and I managed to test print the new test print that was on the flash drive. That had a couple issues, but it seemed to be plate leveling issues. I have leveled, leveled again, used the Read method, used the paper method, I've shaken my resin, run it under a warm tap, put a heater in the room, I have been putting all miniatures offset at an angle, I hollowed it, auto supported then checked supports, leveled the machine itself (which wasn't off much), cleaned everything multiple times, replaced the FEP film twice... I'm out of options. I did stop this print once to make sure that the base had managed to stick to the plate, because most of my other prints failed because they stuck to the FEP. I'm like a couple failed prints from filling this with tannerite and going to some BLM land. Any other takes on this consistent failure? Normal Photon, firmware 4.0, hollowed and supported in Chitubox, sliced on the anycubic slicer, used my own, better flash drive, checked and rechecked exposures, doing 8 base layers.

Hello!
I did one really straight cut at the back of this head because it never fit in the print area. And the two parts never fit together perfectly as expected>There are some tips on how to print a cure to become exact?It is crooked and out of dimension.

Any tips on what's happening? Is my build plate not level?

Since I won't be able to unbox my new Photon for a bit, I'm taking the time to prep. I've been reading my way through this group and working my way through the github page. It seems that, like many things, if you ask 5 people you get 8 answers. So I'm trying to nail down what to have for a curing station. Money isn't abundant, but time is less abundant. So I'd rather buy something for $30 than build something for 10. Are nail curing lamps large enough for miniatures? (It's hard to get the sense of the size from the photos, and I've not seen one in person. Does a higher lamp wattage speed curing time (intuitively it seems it would, but that's not necessarily true.) Looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/…/…/B07MZL98H6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5…
On other fronts, I see references to various software tools to use for slicing, supports, etc.; but not where to download them or which version to use. Is there a repository that is safe and has the latest or preferable versions?
Finally, while I want to eventually design my own things to print, I want to learn the printing procedure first. I see that there are multiple places where I can download figures to print. Is there anywhere that includes the whole file, supported and sliced and ready to print? I'd like to study some properly executed files so I have a better sense of what's right before I proceed to botch my own!

Thanks!

Hi I’m new to the group and will be getting my printer in just a couple days, just wondering if there are any good tips or really important things to know? Also if there is anything else I will need to get to be ready to print?

Ok, hivemine I need a hand. My bed is starting to become unleveled as it prints. I've cleaned all the components multiple times and the bed seems locked down well enough, but I guess some sort of suction is throwing the whole thing off. Been a different side the 3 times I've tried. Any other ideas on this sort of thing?

Will this keep me from being able to print? I nicked the film. It didn't go through, but caused a raise in it, that little hump above my finger tip in the picture below.

Having a print issue & looking for advice.

When I print a multi-sectioned piece with pegs & holes to assemble the entire model, they never seem to fit together. The pegs always seem just a few thou thicker than the hole it is meant to go into. I end up having to dremel down the diameter of the pegs just to get them to fit.

This has been happening to me across multiple models, not just one or two. If I print multiple pieces, they just don't fit together without modification.

I am using Filaments.ca Polyjuice for resin on an original Photon. Any thoughts what settings I should be changing?

So I bought mean green and an ultrasonic cleaner as people have raved about it. I will say it gets the parts pretty clean after 10 mins or so but the mean green is softening the resin and making it sticky even after sitting in the sun for a while. I'm using elegoo gray...

Any tips?

Hi, I'm playing aroud nto get the best supports for some models. so i tryed the tip here to use Meshmixer and that export this as a stl. this workflow works. but i have an issue within meshmixer and i cnat finde the setting leadign to it. see the images. recognised this, after a failed print, with nice supports an no model on top.
problem is, that when i ture the support to "solid" it adds up a gap between the model and support, from my poitn of view the death for an resin print.
i player a round with all the seetings and advances setting and get tihs result every time.
has some one a solutuon or hint?

thank you for you help!
