Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

We all know that you have to have a dead level plate to get a good print. I see many posts bemoaning that fact that they get 1 or 2 good prints and then things go astray.

I found out that this is due to removing the print from the plate after a print has finished. With no real way of supporting the plate, we have to hit or scrape the item off. This causes the plate to shift a fraction on the ball socket that is being held by the hex key screw.

I have been using this simple method now on my prints and have not had to re-level in ages as the plate is held firm so that the part can be removed without moving the build plate head at all. It’s made using 3 bits of wood, 2 of which have a slot cut into it using a saw. The saw slot holds the edge of the plate from moving and the end stop secures it so that you can hit your part with a scraper and it doesn’t affect the clamp as its not touching anything. I hope the photos help.

Hi everyone, I'm using the same file and the same settings from my previous post. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnycubicPhoton/permalink/1438315499646421/

Today I sanded the build plate re-leveled and got a successful failed print. The bottom layers ALL adhered this time but the parts are distorted, bowed or have lost supports or worse still only half there. Parts haven't been cleaned yet in the photos. Only 1 part was a success. Whats happening as its so frustrating

I ordered 2 FEP sheets from AnyCubic on eBay. They arrived, packing was a thin plastic bag. Upon opening the cardboard holders that they are packed in, it was are bent. I opened one packet and found the FEP has a crease so assume the other is the same. How do you take the crease out!

I’m a little perplex by the outcome. If I try and print near the front of the build volume all I get is the layer of the supports stuck to the FEP plate. See photo

The back model prints brilliantly. I have leveled the bed or has it tilted slightly?

Layer 0.05mm NE 10 secs, off 6.5 secs Bottom Exp 65 bottom layers 6. These same settings have worked well for every model printed in the centre of the bed. Using medium cylinder supports

How much does the resin tank hold in volume? I'm asking just in case someone has measured it in ml already

"Once properly adjusted and tightened, I found that I did not have to re-level the platform after removing and re-installing it for new prints. You will still have to re-adjust the zero point if you've turned the machine off."

Found this on the web. I got a good print after I re levelled the bed. I have since turned the power off - do I have to re level now?

For newbies: I got my Photon and my first print after reading many posts and watching videos on setups levelling etc. was an utter failure the support structures base adhered to the FEP.

2nd print: After feedback I rotated my model 45 degrees and voila my 1st good print on my 2nd attempt

3Rd print: Went the same as the first even though it was the same model I was printing WTF! Why!

Decided to go through the levelling process and to my horror the printer had reset its home position about 0.6mm above its proper spot – nothing lose on the printer.
4th print: After re-levelling at setting home position a perfect print of 4 items my largest yet.

Therefore, in summary to the new owners out there that have just the first few layers sticking to the FEP and 1.5 hours of print with nothing to show – check your bed levelling in case it’s moved from the home position like mine had. Hope this helps someone. Happy print Chris

I see posts about build plates failures and increasing times to overcome this whereas others advocate sanding.

My first print – well failure anyway so I need some guidance from the experts. I have watched the reviews, videos and setting up of the Photon. Leveled with a degree of stiffness suggested. Added supports for the print (mediums) both automatically and a few manual ones.

Layer thickness 0.05mm Normal Exposure 10 secs. Off time 6.5 secs. Bottom Exp 50 secs and 8 bottom layers.

What I ended up with is just the support bottoms widest part (bronze colour in the screen grab) and maybe a few layers of the print but nothing else. In addition, the print was stuck to the FEP and not the head! What gives?

Thanks for any help Chris
