Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

You are meant to times in by 2 to get the seconds so 8-9s

i was looking at column 2

Column 4

really? can you explain please as i want to make sure im understanding this properly. i can see more fine details in column 2

Jim if you look at the bars extending from the circle at column 2 they are not clean cut at all. You want the column that has a well formed circle with the dot inside and the columns next to it being clear and not bulging. Column 4 is where things start looking good.

Did you make all these files?

No a few i did pay for designing

Love the BBS style wheels!

I would love to see how you supported these.

Can U plz show the back side of the wheels?

Supported at 22 degrees

What scale are they

Colin Hughes from the watermark, I’m assuming 1/24

Remove support before post-curing, but I’d sand after post-curing. Altough, I don’t need to sand.

Following

Some people do, some don't. I like to on model that are tough. If the model has small parts that might bend before curing I'll cure it first.

I see a mixture of things, some say to cure with supports some say not. I usually wash with supports, then cure without supports but may try with supports as one delicate model fell apart when trying to remove them.

Always removing before curing. The group suggested putting it in hot water before pulling off the supports and holy shit.. it works so well. I do t have scarring on the prints, they don't break the prints. It's amazing.

Yeah, warm water for a few seconds and it practically peels off. It's satisfying like picking a scab

Definitely the best bet on delicate and non-delicate prints is clean then warm to hotish water and supports almost fall off on their own. THEN cure. Sand as needed. Cutting those supports off after curing causes micro spears bouncing around the room.

Also check your contact depth into the model. Me, I only go .12 into the model.

Gary Slovinsky ok. That being said I just finished my first print and the detail is amazing, however with the supports off there is still some post.
What do you use for supports setting on yours? On my Tevo I would have good prints, but my supports would make it look like shit until I found out the right settings and now my prints are almost flawless. Looking to do the same with my resin prints. ?

Robert Clauff i use a contact depth of .12 and mostly med and small supports. BUT I don’t print minis or (at this point) extremely high detail. The most detailed item I’ve made was an agents of shield/hydra combined coin, a couple mm bigger than a quar ter. Printed vertical.
But I still stand by ipa/mean green wash then warm to hot water for initial support removal then cure. But as you mentioned having the right settings is key. My settings wouldn’t help you, i print more simplistic designs which require less finessing than most other prints.

Robert Clauff (addendum) I’m confused here. On your post to me was most of it related to FDM prints? I’m only asking since your last sentence says you were looking to do the same with resin prints?

As a side note: I finished printing off the easy be d leveling adapter (photon) and i neglected to remove the supports first in hot water, I then cured it. And after removing thr supports was a nightmare and the thumb screws look like crap.

Gary Slovinsky yes i was talking about my Tevo Tornado. I want to get my resin prints to the point where I hardly have to touch it after I cure it.

Wet sand with high grit for the last pass

First use a new USB stick if you're using the one that came with the printer. Second make sure if you're plugged into a surge protector, 1. It's new 2. It's not overworked

the USB isn't new but is a sandisk one. and currently plugged straight into the mains in the garage. only had the light and printer running today compared to last night with the heater and laptop as well. or do you mean i need a surge protector?

Joe Bone sounds like you need a new surge protector for just the printer. This happens a lot on normal printers and large current drawing devices

will have a look and sort one suprised as it printed fine last night but not today

Joe Bone is it plugged directly into the wall?

yeah directly into a mains socket.

Joe Bone GFI or regular?

Regular 3 pin outlet

Joe Bone ok then that shouldn't be it. Let's talk about temperature. You said it's in the garage. Does the power brick have a sufficient amount of airflow across it or is it buried behind a counter or something?

Sat on the counter behind not a huge amount of air flow but also bloody cold out there atm

Joe Bone so I would guess, either it's a fluke or a possibly bad power supply. If it's the power supply it'll start happening more often

Happened about 4 times today. Have given up for now until I got advice Haha. Will get looking for a new power supply was a secondhand photon anyway.

I would try laying it flat and let chitubox do the supports. See where it exceeds the boundaries and cut there, you'll stand a better chance of no warping. Your print time will be quicker. Choose the side for supports that will be least visible.

That overhang will print, a helpful tip is that a standing X shape will almost always print, so a perfect 45 degrees is pretty safe as long as you have good build plate adhesion.

Assuming there is nothing on the screen then it seems like a new screen is in your future.

Yeah figured as much! She's done a fair few hours! Maybe 400 hours or so? Not bad.

Stl???

Aceton will break thr resin down.

Angus Sanders good to know. Apparently even cured resin, cause the IPA did NOTHING here, so it must've already cured..

Daniel Kottmair yea just leave it to soak, takes a bit of time but it breaks it down.

Angus Sanders IPA? I tried soaking for hours to no effect..

Daniel Kottmair no leave it soaking in acetone. IPA doesn’t do anything really
