Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » CURA

I've searched the group and all over the internet and could not find an answer so I'm hoping someone here can help me.
What happens is when I print a file the height of the printed item is squeezed. I lose about 0.2mm in 4mm. X and Y dimensions are spot on. I print these items flat on the buildplate. The height of their base is not important just the bit above the base so printing with supports would not help.
The picture is just an example to explain. I'm printing something more detailed so I know that the distortion or squeeze is proportionate i.e. I'm losing a bit of every layer rather than losing the first few layers or a big chunk at the end or anywhere else.
The printer is leveled properly I've been using it for 18 months with no issues. I'm using Monocure rapid clear resin 0.03 / 12s / 1 (10 bottom layers 70 s exposure no issues with it sticking to buildplate). I suspect it has something to do with the resin or my settings because I have just checked previous prints where I used Monocure rapid Clear (30%) and Monocure flex (70%) mix and the heights came out perfect.
I'm trying to print functional parts so they need to be accurate in every direction.
Has anyone had similar issues and found a solution? Please let me know. Thanks

Does anyone know how to get more accuracy in my prints? Fitted parts that are printed don't fit together like they should. Not sure if pegs are thicker or holes are smaller... I'm using Elegoo ABS like grey and the prints look great but I think they could be more detailed. Maybe that's my problem but I'm not sure what setting to tweak for that. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I’m new to Anycubic. I have photon S and it produce non accurate results. I have tried to print a two parts complex mold with Anet A6 FDM printer and the same object was printed with photon S. I have found the I can completely close the two parts of the mold with no gap or interferences with the FDM printer while for photon S there is a gap an incomplete contact of the opposing surfaces!
Any suggestions!

Greetings,

While I understand most of the information available on photonsters is geared towards the original Photon, and for good reason, I own an S and after a few test prints I have some doubts about what could be the optimal work process to get the best of my prints.

While using Photon Workshop 2.1.19 I notice that, if I change the machine from the S to the original Photon, I see that the final calculated times to print change noticeably. About 10-20% slower with the .photon file against the .photons file. Are these differences in calculations accurate? Does any real difference exist if I use one kind of file over the other with the S? I know there are a lot of utilities that need the .photon and that makes it more interesting, I mean about straight printing differences between formats.

To my understanding, Chitubox is a more desiderable alternative. Is the machine configuration for chitubox for the S the same as for the original Photon? 1440 x 2560 px, 68.04 X, 120.96 Y, 150 Z, LCD Mirror?

I've seen the exposure calibration set is not working on the S as you cannot currently execute the gcode file on it. Any recommendation on how to fine-tune the exposure times beyond the city test print? I can tell apart if the piece is underexposed fine enough, but I struggle with overexposure. I even think that in the documentation the overexposed print looks better

Thank you very much

The Z axis is not accurate, same if using chitubox or anycubic slicer, printing size as default 68.04 x 120.96 x 150. If i print a file with 100mm tall, it turn out 9xmm tall. Anyway to fix this problem? Thank you. Im using Original Photon

I guess even when Im not building actual models I am building virtual soon to be actual models. Sorry for the bad audio and lighting. Im more concerned with the print ability of this model right now. This is all part of making all the parts work together as well as visually accurate.

I want to make this be about 8 inches tall, I have it set at 200 MM. I'm new to the whole sacling and Cura. Is the MM settings in Cura accurate?

This printer keeps up with the challenges! Still can't believe the accuracy!

If I set my layer height to 0.0001 a value I know the screw and motor can't be accurate to, what happens to my print? Will my print end up being overly elongated because the screw will go it's minimum distance and then do the next layer? Or will it skip to the next layer in the program at the minimum screw distance?

Hope that question makes sense.

I'm super amazed with this accuracy, supports measures .75 mm diameter and the contact surface is only .25 mm
