Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » FDM

One of the best decision I did is joining this lovely group. Great idea and wonderful community that always help.
I had my first print today and surprise it was a successful one. A lot of conversations was about the strong smell Anycubic resin and that's why I thought the first print will be (Rear Vent to 4" Adapter for Anycubic Photon), even though in the description it says to print it with FDM printer, so I'm not sure if it will be good enough to be used for this purpose yet.
I thought it was about to fail, as you can see from the picture, nearly the based support was going to fall down. is it because the base was to thin? how can I avoid this in the future?
I nearly haven't done any change to the stl file, haven't change any values and used auto support, I just change the orientation to fit and that's about it.
We had rain all day and I don't have a chance to direct the model to any UV light, hopefully, tomorrow will be sunny and I can do it. How long I should leave it in the sun?
Anyway here is my final model, I'm planning to use a primer and then start using it.
Thank you, everyone, for sharing all of these tips and information.

Noob here sorry
So I've printed a item on my fdm printer which fits the item I need it for. But printed the same item on my photon same scale ect and it won't fit to tight . what am I doing wrong ?
Any help would be great

Hello guys. Does anyone know of any spreadsheet to calculate the value of a 3D print? I found for FDM printers ....

Dude! Why is the Darn Photon actually easier to print objects than my FDM printer?! lol ?

Thanks for acceptation. Looking to jump into dlp/sla printing (4 years in FDM). This printer looks at a perfect point for starting! Thanks in advance for all!

Hello

Looking to get into resin printing. Been fdm printing for a few years and would like to go further. Can anyone give me some rough estimates to how much parts costs to print? I know resins vary in prices but like I have zero idea how much resin, say a miniature, would use. Please post some examples thanks

Hey all, just thinking for the future, but you you get something thats oversized and meant for FDM, does the scaling work fine or are there other considerations?

My first print with no support material (well apart from the test print).

The quality of finish on unsupported overhangs is so much better than my FDM machine.

So, I’ve purchased my second photon. The first one I got was flawless. Already well set up, I leveled the build plate, set the Z=0 home position, checked the LCD to verify that it worked fine, updated the firmware, and that printer has been running well ever since.

This 2nd printer, I received today. I performed incoming inspection before admitting it into my lab to sit down the bench from a FDM printer and across the way from a 5-axis mill.

This new printer wouldn’t accept a new home position no matter what I did... until I pulled it apart and realized that the Z carriage was originally installed upside-down, this forces the metal blade used for homing further down (or holding the Z carriage higher than required). I flipped it over and after adjusting the little set screw positioned the blade perfectly. Assembled the printer and all is well.

In this rambling, the take-away is that the QC card is worth less than you might think & that mechanics can be fixed or adjusted as needed.

Hello, i just got my photon yesterday and did the test print, the cube, and it came out amazing. I'm about to jump into the endless pit of miniature printing and wondered if you guys have any tips for me? I know supports work quite differently here compared to FDM printers and often less are required so i'm a bit confused as to how exactly to handle the supports, any tips?
