Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » CURA

I'm curious about the interface between the FEP film and the model, where the rubber hits the road so to speak. The film seems like a compromise from the ideal. The ideal would seem to be a rigid perfectly non stick surface rather than a flexible one, unless a slight flexibility helps the layer un-stick and move away from the film. I have an idea to take a thin tempered glass screen protector the size of the vat, place the vat with FEP film on top of it, and literally glue the FEP film to the thin glass using an optically clear UV curable glue. So the result would be a lamination of a very thin glass screen protector and FEP film. The film should then not stretch or wear as bad, and could possibly periodically be treated with teflon spray or Neverwet or another superhydrophobic coating. I have ordered a spare vat to experiment with. Has anyone here tried re-lubricating the film, or does it just stretch out before losing it's non-stick properties?

Hello printers!
I have a question about a setting for the exposure time of the first layers. So as far as I know you set the duration of exposure for the first few layers, then the exposure is shortened for all following layers.
Now, I have seen numerous posts on here by people who have printed their parts directly on the build plate, without supports, mentioning a clearly visible border of where the switch from long to short exposure happened. Mostly the suggested solution for this is to print with supports and the part lifted off the bed. But I have another idea and would like to know if you think it could work or if it may even already be implemented in some slicers.
In Slicers like Cura for FDM printing, print speed can be gradually increased from a slow speed at the first layer to faster speeds thereafter. I wonder if a similar approach would also help with DLP printers like the photon. Choosing long exposure for the first one or two layers and then a gradual decrease until the following short duration is reached. For example:
Layer 1 - 50s, 2 - 50s, 3 - 40s, 4 - 30s, 5 - 20s, 6 - 10s... n - 6s
Do you guys think this could work? Is this already a function that I can find in some slicers? Am I trying to reinvent the wheel and making a fool of myself? I'd very much value all your input.
Thanks a lot :)

Long time FDM user, first time DLP/LCD user. My first print last night had issues, but "pretty sure" that it was due to user (my) error, unintentional/accidental bumping of printer while printing, although very very slight, that I thought wouldn't be an issue. I have tentatively determined that the slight vibration was the cause of issues as they occurred around the time where the errors, "shift in layers" can be seen. So, I have since moved printer to "MORE SOLID" table, cleaned the vat and restarted included test print a few minutes ago.

INITIAL THOUGHTS in general.

I love the build quality, good value for the money. I was a little concerned about the fumes that some have talked about, but actually not that bad... I have to really smell for it to notice.

I was very MUCH CONCERNED about how almost everyone said it was MESSY to work with.

I did not feel that way, as I was prepared with a clean work area, gloves, Isopropyl alcohol, scraper, tubs etc.

To be honest, if you are prepared and know what you need to do in advance, to tell someone it is a "messy" process is not and accurate statement in my opinion.

Sure you need to be neat, and clean as you go, but I found it very easy and smooth, and no mess at all. Not sure why all those Youtube videos are saying that is a messy process?

I am pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a (messy) issue for me. Just be prepared and move slowly and deliberately, no mess just steps that are different than those with FDM..

I guess if you spill the resin, get resin on your gloves then touch something other than a rag that is going right into the garbage, then yes that would be messy, but that is operator sloppiness.

So, if the cube prints properly this time, I will be 125% satisfied with this machine and the resin printing process as a whole.

My third print so far. Although this one has failed, the captured accuracy is incredible! I already own a Form1+, Form2 and an Asiga FreeForm 75PRO. Only asiga can produce this level of detail. Regarding the missing leg, I cannot understand if the front right of the printing table is too low or too high. How can I tell which one is happening?

If you're a serious model builder and you can work in 3D programming then I completely recommend the Photon resin printer I'm working on a project for another member and he needed these accurate barrels and shells. And while you can print these on a filament printer they're not going to come out as exact as these are.

Anyone figured out an "accurate" g/ml setting for Anycubic Green in ChutuBox?

I'm not overly concerned with what it's actually costing to spit models out, but I am kind of curious.

I liked the photon. In the chitubox slicer, the support looks exactly like on Form2. Good accuracy. You can set the platform level once and print without having problems. I connected a Wi-Fi SD card and quickly sent files to print.

I would like to get a new firmware with activated network functions.

I'm very tired because of this inaccuracy, distortion makes it incompatible :(

Okay, so I have been in the throes of working on a 1/18 scale Firefox Mig-31. Those that know me in the model field, know how determined I am to make it as accurate as possible to the film miniature Hero. I have been working on drawings and references for over 20 years. Through this time, I have amassed a clutch of detail reference that allowed me and the late, Adam Leet, to make proper drawings and have my friend, Nik Piper , 3d model the plane based on my countless hours of work and research on it. I just printed out some detail cockpit parts fo the Fox, again, very accurate to the film. I'm gonna share the printed stuff here. Please let me know if you all wish to see more...

My second print was quite big......the Photon dealt with it without remark. Even if there were minor defects I wouldn't mind as the parts are adapted further. Although the measurement accuracy is important for me, the deviations were minor, nothing a little sanding couldn’t solve, so I’m fine with it. The louvres I printed separately and were inserted in the big part, same goes for the little ornaments on top.
