I see a lot of talk about replacing the screen, but what about the LED?

I've been having a lot of problems with printing lately. I've been running some exposure tests, and that seems to indicate that my Monocure White (with a bit of Monocure Flex mixed in) has an exposure time that might be as high as 40 - 50 seconds per layer. That's pretty far off the values given in the resin exposure document, so I was wondering if my light source is dying on me.

I've been doing several good prints over the last few days, but now my printer has suddenly decided it won't play nice anymore.

It prints the first layer fine, then it stops and beeps once before resetting.

I've been googling, and it seems I'm not the only one who's run into this.

One suggestion was to unplug the printer for a while. Tried... No luck.

Another was to isolate the vat from the printer. What's that even supposed to mean?

I do have the plate pretty loaded with supports, so I'm wondering if perhaps I'm stalling the z-axis when the first layer is getting lifted. But that would be the first time I've had that happen to me.

Any suggestions?

Maybe a stupid question, but better safe that sorry...

Now that we have AA capability in the firmware, does that work with any slicer that does AA, like the Formware slicer, or does it require a specific slicer?

I've got some issues with the Wanhao Grey. Hopefully some of you guys can figure out what's going on.

I bought a bottle of Wanhao Grey to test it. Having gotten it dialed in, it printed... Not super great, but okay. Being happy enough with it I ordered another bottle, and that was where the trouble began...

The first bottle was black plastic, with the resin curing to a very black, somewhat transparent, finish. The new bottle was different. Slightly larger and made from metal, with the resin curing to an opaque grey finish. Well... Cured... Not really, to be honest, even after curing it for nearly an hour it's still pretty tacky to the touch.

Worse, the majorities of the prints I've done with the new resin have been failures with the supports failing to attach to the object.

Figuring that I was probably underexposing the resin, I re-leveled the plate and ran a calibration test. And honestly... I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Even at the right-most end of the scale there seems to be details missing.

So...

What do you guys think? Have any of you experienced such difference in the (supposedly) same resin? And what do you think of the calibration test - do I need even more exposure?

My current settings are 15 seconds exposure (55 seconds on 8 bottom layers) and 50 micron layers.

Not strictly Photon related, but still...

On the recommendation of several of you I bought the Formware slice. Now it's telling me that there's an update and I need to download the new version. No problem, I think, just click the link in the pop-up message and it will take me to the download page. Nope... It sends me to the frontpage and all I can find is the trial version download. Which won't work as I already have the program installed.

So where do I find the update? Do I really have to uninstall everything to update?

Oi! What's this then...?

Guys, I have a bit of a conundrum here...

Wanted to print a bust. Tried to twist and turn the model in every conceivable way, but the validator kept showing small islands. In the end I decided to take the chance and print it anyway.

And...

Well...

What on earth happened here?

The base printed just fine, but of the bust itself, nothing can be seen except the supports and a lot of gunk in the vat. But how on earth...? How can it print the supports just fine, yet miss the figure itself completely?

How do you calculate how much resin to pour in the vat?

Do you just pour and cross your fingers? Or is there some way to get a rough idea of how much you need?

My Photon just arrived - now what?

What are the recommended steps to get it up and running?

I've seen people talking about sanding it?
