Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團 » 用戶發文

Greetings. Having had my Photon for a couple of month now, and having had successful prints and failed prints, I’m feeling a bit more confident and wanting to get the correct settings for my exposure rather than take defaults or work by trial and error. I’ve read the resin-xpfinder from GitHub and just want to make sure I have understood the instructions correctly. It looks like I have to change the config of the printer , print my resin test, and then return the printer to ‘print’ mode. Can u pls tell me if I have got this correct...

Step 1) load the file ‘test-mode.gcode’ onto the USB stick and run it (by selecting from the screen on the printer.
Step 2) run my exposure test file , resin-test-xxx from the USB stick
Step 3) Return the printer to print mode by running print-mode.gcode from the USB stick

Have I got this correct ?
Is there any chance my printer will not return to its present state when I bring it back to print mode ?

Thanks in advance

I read a post the other day in this group from a Photonster who prints the Ameralabs ‘Town’ test print to test out each batch of resin- thought I’d give it a whirl, so entered my email address at the Ameralabs website & downloaded the STL files (there are 3 variants). I loaded the STL straight into Chitubox for slicing and have to confess, I thought it would be bigger ? . I am impressed with the level of detail printed with it this small, but I don’t think it’s right ! For those who print this.... should it be bigger ?

Hi - S’me again, asking more questions as I learn. I have designed this in Fusion360( can’t claim credit for the idea but can for the design) - this is so basic it’s unreal- one flat base, two hollowed cylinders and some embossed lettering. However, as you can see the base has not printed correctly- it sort of tapers away towards the ‘front’. I print the correct way up - ie the base first and then the cylinders . This is the third time I have tried this print and I am wondering what I am doing wrong? Is
the fact that the base is so large a problem -
Should I try printing it upside down ie cylinders first, finishing with the base? Should I try supports? Settings for this were Bottom Exp 60, Bottom
Layer count 7 , exposure 10, layer height 0.03mm.

Update on the flat seats I produced last week...I took the advice of this group and changed the settings to: Bottom exp 60 secs, Bottom layer count 7, Exposure 10 and produced these amazing seats . The next thing I tried printing was a scaled down version of a BBS LM wheel, downloaded from Thingiverse, scaled in Fusion360, cloned (to get 4) and sliced in Chitubox using the same settings as for the seats and the same resin, Elegoo Grey. Two of the wheels came out fine ; but the other two looked like this... the upper- most layers look to be malformed, and on one wheel these layers look to be de-laminating. Once again, I am asking for ideas as to why ?

Help! New user here, getting increasingly frustrated with failed prints. I have only managed to successfully print the default cube at attempt number two. Since then I have had two more failed attempts from a Fusion 360 Design (based on a design from a model-making associate of mine). For this latest attempt I thought I would use a downloaded design from Thingiverse, like I see so many people posting here. The subject is a car seat suitable for 1/24 scale. I downloaded the Zip, scaled it to size with Fusion 360 and exported it as an STL. Slicer is Chitubox v1.5 for a Mac. Within Chitubox I selected the Anycubic Photon and left the settings as default (assuming, maybe wrongly) that they should be suitable for many print situations, and mine looks quite simple compared to some I have seen on here. I did not reset Z=0 from the last successful print (reading on here I don’t need to do this for each print) . You see the results in the last pic...I have got two flat seats...what’s going wrong please ?

Help, please... Newbie user, trying the first default cube print on Photon. Followed the instructions for setting Z=0 with the sheet of printer paper, left everything else on the defaults but tried twice now and get nothing attached to the build plate. However, I now have this pattern on the FEP sheet.... it feels about 0,5mm thick. My questions are
1) what am I doing wrong; what can I try , to get prints printing ?
2) what do I do with the resin on the FEP? Do I scrape it off somehow? Do I have to bin the FEP sheet ; could this be screwing up my prints ?

Thanks in advance
