Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

i think...... not sure, but i think i recall something with a steppermotor getting signal when it shouldnt????? :) correct me if im wrong :D

Normal from the FEP

Louis Bergès ???

It is a good noise it comme from the FEP Teflon film

I love it ? ❤️

stl available?

This is the kind of thing that will get my wife behind 3D printing!

Is the STL available?

I want to print it myself and check for possible errors. The model will be sold later.

How did you make this ?

I did this model in ZBrush program

Are you for hire ? I’m looking for someone good In Z brush to work with

Gold Walker I don’t have time for another job, sorry.

Konstantin Fedkulov ok thanks

Anyone you can recommend?

Gold Walker I can not advise unfortunately

How many takes before you got that just right?

Dane Bennett ?

Have you opened it up to check the connection between the board and screen? It looks like it might be time to replace it

Alex Hendry I've only had it for a week and done maybe a dozen prints, do they normally go out that quickly?

Matt Kovach No they don't, but if there was a surge well it was on it could have messed it up. I assume you've already tried unplugging and plugging the machine back in? Next I'd try opening it up and checking the connection

Correct I have. I'll try that next. Thank you for the quick response

Matt Kovach No problem. People on here have been helpful to me. So jus trying to pay it forward. Hopefully you get the screen working!

Matt Kovach Oh and as a last ditch effort you can try updating the firmware on the machine

Alex Hendry I read that online before making the post, sadly it didnt help ?

Matt Kovach Damn, well hopefully the connection just needs a good push in or reset

Just to make sure... Have you tried powering it off, unplugging it from the power supply for a few minutes, plugging it back in, and turning it back on?

Sean O'Hayer that and updating firmware was the first thing I tried

Matt Kovach ok. Sorry, I would have felt horrible if I didn't ask. It's the tech in me.

My next step would be to check the LCD, as Alex recommended.

Also, which firmware did you try?

Bad contact on LCD flat cable for sure.

Afraid I cannot help with settings, but you should probably post which version of the Photon this is for as e.g. S model typically has shorter exposure times than original

You waited a week! lol I had mine printing in like 30 minutes lol and I have not stopped lol I got mine about 2 weeks ago

It's a second hand one so wanted to check it over first and honestly was concerned it would break of something haha ? don't like how you can't see it printing. use to FDM printers haha

Joe Bone same here (I have 4 ender 3s) but you just have to wait.... listen for a popping sound on the first like 3 layers and you know it at least stuck to the bed lol but once you get going it's pretty easy! Clean up us a pain but printing its self is easier then FDM.

Joe Bone

Jolene Sweeney i have an ultrasonic cleaner i'm itching to try so hoping it'll be good. Also bulit a curinging booth into my garage shelf units ........ completely prepared haha

Joe Bone I built a curing area too lol I'm just using the pickle jar and acetone right now (can't get ipa lol) it's not terrible but I just got used to the print finishing and being done lol with sla you have to clean and cura and sometimes it just is annoying lol love my prints to!

Jolene Sweeney I was looking at all sorts for the cleaning I have some industrial degreaser which I'm going to try first and see if it works. Everyone raves about mean green but cant get it here. If the torture cube works then I have a second print lined up ready to go Haha

Joe Bone yea it's a pain right now. I tried mean green 1st and HATED it. It didnt clean my prints at all and then were tacky even after curing...

Apparently a cleaner like you have should help but I'm not going to buy one just because of an ipa shortage right now lol acetone works really really well so I'm happy til I can get ipa

Jolene Sweeney yeah I have it for cleaning up tools and bits anyway so it's easy to get and I normally have 5L sat about anyway

Joe Bone lol good thing! Well keep us updated! Hope the 1st print goes well!

Jolene Sweeney 40% complete give it an hour or so Haha

lcd test

If it runs straight through, you either have resin on your LCD, or your LCD is dying.

make a rectangle that covers the whole screen. then run a dry print ie remove the vat etc. place a sheet of paper over the lcd screen run the print of the rectangle and see if there are any holes.

thank you guys, I'll try that.

if the printer is less then 3 months old contact anycubic support. you might be able to get a replacement.

Screens gone, time for a new one

New lcd. Mine did the same thing

Probably you will need a new LCD.
Don't forget to use kapton tape after replace it to avoid this kind of issue.

Go Team IG!

Keep the print, claim little yoda shot himself in the face with a blaster. Sometimes ugly is cool.

Euh, 3 seconds exposure is very little... So most likely the supports were still too soft in order to pull the print off the FEP.

Xi-Sheng Luo I'll try 4 or 5 next time. I'm just worried that with green and a 03 layer I shouldn't go much beyond that.

Exposure is way too low. Even for an S, I'd bet. An OG photon was 7.5 seconds for .020 so 3 for .030 is way off.

Fred Bey it's an S

Andrew Steele For your info: Im printing with 8 seconds... For Anycubic Translucent Green.
Room temperature: ~20C

still way low, I'd bet. falling off the supports is a sign of under exposure.

Photon or Photon S?

way low exposure try the above suggestions 7 or 8 seconds.

Photon, but the S does not mean that you can cut time in half from the get-go... It's not "that much" faster at curing.

also if you want try my prusa supports for printing miniatures of the base plate

the supports are micro thin. and the model will print off the bed. after adding supports export with the supports. then slice in your fav slicer.

General rule, if the supports are there and the model fell off, too weak or not enough support, if the supports look like they got melted with a plasma hit, it's under exposure.

Xi-Sheng Luo for what layer height?
