Another newbie question. And looking back through previous posts, this hasn't been answered completely so I'm a bit baffled.

Brand new printer and I plucked up the courage to try the test lattice print. Levelled fine, did the paper routine, pressed Z=0 and was asked if I wanted to continue. Pressed Yes but didn't get a beeped acknowledgement (Manual said to press OK but that wasn't an option).

Happy with that, I raised the Z axis to reinsert the resin vat, added resin and clicked on print. The Z did not move down into the vat to start printing but began where the build plate currently was. The build plate was so high out of the vat that I could see the shadow of the first base layer in the vat.

I've stopped the print and restarted with the build plate moved down into the vat so I'll see if there is any success but should I have to move the plate back down or should the printer move it to Z=0 at the start of the print ? Have I missed a step of prep ? As the file was on the USB, I assume that the GCODE has all the relevant preparation lines.

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from the

experienced so I can find out what the heck is happening :)

Whats up all you printers,
say I had a great idea for how to improve support structures and particularly their removal, but it would need to be implemented in the slicer, who should I be talking to? I don't seem to remember ChiTuBox being open source, but my idea heavily depends on the availability of anti-aliasing. Are they open for suggestions? Or does someone here have a large degree of knowledge about how slicers function and could evaluate my idea? Surely one of you must be the one :)

My photon arrived yesterday after getting it on the Amazon flash sale. Test came out fine.

Just got done with the demos from HeroForge. ?
I had noticed that the sliver like to elevate the whole model, even though minis tend to have a nice base on them.
Is there a way or setting [I am probably missing] to change that?

Hey thanks for adding me to the group. I have a few questions for the group. Any feedback would be appreciated.

First did Anycubic delete all their support? I tried to look to see if the issues I had were covered under the warranty and got a 404 page. I cant even find firmware on their site anymore.

The first photon I bought stopped working within a week with 5 complete prints. Returned and replaced placed the unit. My second one lasted 4 months. I would get error messages during prints then only half the lcd would display.

What is the normal lifespan of the lcd display? Are these issues with the lcd prevalent in the photon s? Is it worth to upgrade?

Thanks

Hi all, I came from working with a PLA flashforge creator pro and now i'm trying out the resin game. I had a month full of amazing prints, but I got to the bottom of my Anycubic Skin bottle and wanted to use the last of the resin (yes there's enough for a few prints), but my prints are only printing the base of the model that has the supports, but then nothing else, the supports and model don't get made. Any idea what could be wrong?

Also, what do you guys do with the last of a resin of a different color? Do you mix it in with another resin or harden it and toss it? I considered just making a little aluminum bowl and pouring unused resin and hardening it with my UV setup and just tossing it, but I was curious what others are doing here.

I previously just left my resin out in the sun in a thing of IPA so that the IPA could evaporate and the sun would cure the resin, but that turned into a mess of white crap stuck to my tupperware container so that didn't work out :(

Greetings to all! :D

I'm rather interested in printing historically accurate troops/warriors/soldiers. For example: mongolian horse archers, teutonic knights, english longbowman, light and heavy infrantry and many more...

Is there a good site which specializes in creating such models? I'm doing a D&D campaign in medieval Europe...

Thanks in advance! :)

Alright everyone, please excuse my tiny rant that is about to come.

On the daily do I read posts and comments by users in this group and other groups, stating that certain issues, topics or methods "will always be there", "cannot be solved", "will always be like this" or "cannot be done". Be it supports that won't leave pock marks, intial layers without horizontal expansion, printing parts that need a lot of strength, printing perfectly transparent parts, adding glittering dye to resin or tuning the printer to do certain things and unlock features, to name a few. I know these comments are with no ill intent, but in a community that is mostly about empowering each other's ideas and literally making things, I feel like regularly seeing this "pessimism" and the construction of these mental borders is slowly killing me on the inside. You all literally have a machine standing somewhere near you, that creates objects out of virtually nothing! A little, affordable, miracle box that turns whatever you imagine into a real life object. This is unbelievable! Getting to this point took decades of innovation and the realization of numerous ideas that "could not be done".

So if I have a plea for you all here, then be it that please, let us all keep an open mind about innovation that can come from this community in improving our machines, prints, methods and workflow. "It cannot be done" is something I wish to no longer be reading in the comments here, I hope we can all come together on this.

Thanks for reading my short rant, I will now regain control of myself again.
