When wiping down the vat and print bed. Do you all use IPA and paper towels?

How about the FEP bottom of the vat. Do you wipe it with paper towels and IPA?

Just curious on good procedures for these tasks.

So now I am confused.....so the photon is a dlp machine using a translucent lcd screen to block light, where it shouldnt go right? Now I am having a talk to somebody at esun regarding resin settings and he asks me if I use a dlp or a lcd machine. So now I go "wot?" and he explains that there are differences in the resin (as in lcd resin versus dlp resin) in terms of exposure time etc. What is it now? Isnt it the same? I am very confused at this point and would appreciate if someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks for letting me in :)
I have one but...... its in a box until Christmas!!
I've some more resin, a box of filter funnels, some alcohol and a UV nail light (which my wife found hilarious!) on route. I already have face masks from airbrushing.

Any suggestions for anything else I need or should I just find some cool 28\56\72mm minis for when I get to play with real detail (until then the Ender 3 will just have to do ;) )

Hello fellow members,
I haven’t used my printer in about a month because I have been busy. After popping in my original usb to the computer it read fine and I transferred the slicer file to it. Then when putting it in the printer, it doesn’t read, and slows the system down. When putting it back into the computer it no longer reads, and asks to be formatted.
I grabbed another I had laying around and formatted it fresh to FAT32. It is doing the same thing. Although this one goes back into the computer fine and reads correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I have been binge watching 3D-printing related videos in the past few days. I must say I'm really impressed with how the Anycubic Photon works. It is one of the two printers I want to buy.
However, I can see that there is a few risks and issues that can range from easy-hard to impossible to fix. So I'm really torn whether if I should buy one right now or wait til the new units come with better performance and less issues. What do you think?

every little while, some one asks for easy way to remove the model from the plate. I use expired credit cards !

Hi Guys,
I recently got my Photon and tried my first print. It looks like it started printing correctly (you can see the support structure) then it just proceeded to print a solid brick of resin.

I ran the machine with no vat in and it seems to get about 45mins into a file and then the LCD stops displaying correctly, the left side (when looking from the front) no longer masks light correctly.

Is this a faulty screen? Any other suggestions before I contact the vendor for a refund / return or replacement?

It is running the latest firmware version. Also after a restart the UV detection displays correctly, but after the failed print and test runs, when I run a uv detection it also doesn't display the left side of the screen correctly.

One more thing concerning grayscale images: evening light output. Thoughts?
The topic has already been discussed here ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnycubicPhoton/permalink/1362798507198121/ ), but never under the light of grayscale masks.

Anti-aliasing and sub-pixel resolution have already been briefly analysed here ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnycubicPhoton/permalink/1404660366345268/ ) as two of some of the advantages connected to grayscale mask projections (see https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnycubicPhoton/permalink/1330118047132834/ ).

Just to sum up some of the related topics that came out in the group:
Grayscale seems to be a bit of a bottleneck, requiring both a firmware update and, of course, a new slicer. A search for IP infringement, possibly discrediting freedom to operate, might also be in order before anything could be done in that direction. Finally, multiple exposure masks per single layer might also provide the same benefits as grayscale images do. But at what cost? Hardware wear? Time?
