Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

You need thicker supports on the very bottom of the fails, then you can go thinner as you go up.

Supports failed, check the bottom of your vat.

You are flirting with failed prints. And that is the biggest waste of resin.

You can set the thickness of the supports, along with all their other settings, by going on the right side of the program, it will show "Pad,Supports" under the stl, and you can right click on that and choose the settings you want to modify. That said, the thinner your supports, the more likely they will let go due to suction from the prints for a failure.

Failures create more waste than successes do because you have to use twice as much resin.

Making supports thinner increases the liklihood of failed prints.

Just make sure you add enough support so you only have to print something once.

Unless of course it is something you are making multiples of I guess.

Get rid of the raft and keep your support bases to 1.5mm thickness

New anycubic only see PWS files, you have to use thier slicer to make those, Chitubox only makes .photon
Or as long as it’s not a photon zero you can download the new firmware and it’ll read .photon again

My printer has version 3.4.1

The Anycubic website has 4.2.19 or 5.0.2 for Upgraded Only. How do I determine which of these I should use?

Check your main screen if it starts with a 4 then you need the 4.2.18, from github (someone can provide the link) if it don’t start with a 4 then you need the one starting with 5.

My version is 4.2.19, so I need the 5.0.2? My machine is upgraded then?

Sorry, I have the 3.4.1, not the 4.2.19

Matt Larlham ok, then the 4.2,x don’t apply, I’d say you need the 5.0.2 firmware.

Gary Slovinsky Thanks

peel off or plagued ?

Ether Quanta Deals I’m calling it a plague because on the other print it was minor and fixable but this is just idk

Brian Rhodes re-checked your supports, be sure the file is watertight, re-think about lift speed and lift distance.

Well here is today’s on the plate currently test. I changed some supports and it’s gotten further

Brian Rhodes Sorry my english is not good. further good or not ?

More completed

Still pretty new myself, but i'll take a crack at it. It's looking like you lifting and retraction speeds are a bit high. Also could be your orientation of the print to the plate that could be effecting it at those layers of the print.

Here's a pretty good link to explaining how orientation and lift speeds can effect prints. https://www.instructables.com/....../5-Settings-to......

Well I believe I solved the issue with some better places supports. This model has been a pain due to such high detail and the fact I want it on my desk to look at when I’m done

Ok so here is the update as we near the final quarter of printing today.......the issue was poor support placement to hold the edge of the feet evenly. I used the defective print as a starting point to fix the supports up. Pictures will be added once it’s done

And here is the final result of the printing.

And after three days of fooling around we have

OMG, even miniatures are not safe from corona virus :O

Just amazing Mike! really great job here!

Cheers!

Very well made. Simple and effective.

Nice! just started painting my warlord.

Can any one send me the stl for these?

Can't have one of those - I would need a bigger house. ?

Emperor titan here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3239357

Paul Davison thank you very much mate

By the Emperor's balls, man! You'll be needing to charge it rent!

Richard Lacy instead of having toddlers maybe I'll have a few of these running around instead

You know the 'mini' bit of 'miniature' is supposed to mean 'small', right? ^_^

Richard Lacy you know that miniature means "small version of the original" right? ? According to some rulebooks an original titan is 33 meters tall ?

Overexposure?

I believe it's at 11sec with anycubic green

I'll bump it down a bit then and try that

11 s is way too much. Even the default (8s for 0.05 layers) is quite a bit overexposed. I'm down do 3s at 0.03 layers for this resin to get good resolution. This looks more like a slicing error than overexposure to me though.

well ill give it a shot ? ? ?

what's your layer height? photon or photon s?
could be a glitch in the slicer. Does the preview look normal?

If you're using 50 micron layers I'd go down to 8 and see what you end up with before going any lower. Check the sliced file for any errors as well.

I'm printing them too!

Zena Andreou layer is .05 , yup looks perfect in slicer , I started to see it when I would do model with supports in chitubox then move it over to photon workshop, I'm printing on a photon zero, now I'm seeing in just photon slicer as well

Kyle Slade are you printing solid?

Probably too close together...possibly coupled with overexposure

I bumped it down to 8 sec , see what happens ?

Robin Stiller yeah

Robin Stiller also I'm using 7 second exposure

K so it appears that the problem is in the slicer , I have sliced the file several different times, hollow, solid, and every time I view the image it has that solid support all the way up . Any suggestions on how to remedy this ?

In the preview this looks as it should, but once its sliced the image is different

Error In the 3d file

Evan Rosario I had another file from that group had a weird issue also , oh well , I put it through chitubox then sliced it with workshop, inspected the file , seems like I got a bingo now ?

You can fix them in meshmixer

If your using chuitubox then it's a problem I've encountered before, once you placed the supports watch what's happens to it when you come put of support mode, the model sometimes drops towards the build plate fusing it with the supports, this usually happens to models with mesh issues, trying using something like 3d builder on windows 10, meshmixer or another stl repair program and try again

You will have problems achieving this kind of precision if you're not using dental resins, and even with those you'll have to take some light diffusion into account. Mine typically get around 0.1 mm wider with proper exposure.

You also don't want to print directly on the bed because first layers will be overexposed and you'll end up with a visible lip.

So I should adjust the dimensions to make room for error.

Palcu Alex You will inevitably have to. You can play with your exposure settings to get as close as you can but you'll never be able get it perfect. That is even before you consider some shrinkage from curing into account.

Ok. Thank you for help!

I made another test and those are the results:
-a 5mm hole can fit a 4,5 mm cylinder tightly, like it's glued
-a 5mm hole can fit a 4,4mm cylinder with a light grip when i turn them
-a 5mm hole can fit a 4,3mm cylinder beeing just right, not tight, not lose
A 4,6 cylinder won't fit and from 4,2 down, it's starts moving inside.
I used 17s normal exposure time.

Sounds about right. If you measure the 5mm hole and 4.5mm cylinder with a vernier you'd probably get 4.75 for each, meaning a .125 mm error on each side. That's about what I'm getting as well. If you're going to print significantly different sizes to that you'd probably have to test for resin shrinkage too.

I don't have the right tools to measure that precise but I figured this should work. ?

Palcu Alex If you're going to be printing precision stuff I'd recommend investing into a solid digital vernier, you can get pretty good stuff for about $30.

I tried to print this but they didn't fit. Otherwise I don't bother that much for precision. It has enough precision for my taste.

You had it set for 'citron', not 'lemon'.

That looks like a demonic lemon.

Did you download it from Buddha’s Hand?

STL...??! ? ?

Probably the STL file is corrupted

This is when a turkey jumps a lemon

They made the opposite mistake as this wizard!

Looks like time to make lemonade

Can you wash it in something other than IPA?

mutant lemon :P

It’s got a virus!

Obviously, you over-leveled the build plate. Please hollow your model w/o drain holes, orient as flat against the plate as possible, then fail again. ?

Picking lemons from the Chernobyl groves again?

Maybe you should make life take that lemon back. Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give you that lemon.

I'm gonna burn your house down! With a combustible lemon!

When life gives you lemons, make sacrifices

And this has what to do with this group? Admins can we ban people who make stupid posts like this?

Richard Zeinner Jerremy Passion or Alex Boye hahahah

Abstract Lemonade.

I'll just leave this here..... ?

Chernobyl lemon?

Cthulemon.

you need to sand your nozzel and glue your barrings

Have you tried re-leveling?

Dont use GMO resin!

I'm confused...

So I discovered recently that Anycubic has runic symbols engraved onto their build plates, If you sand them too much it seems to interfere with the dark magic that allows for buildplate adhesion. I suggest swapping the buildplate out for a new one, or find the local cult.

The lemon has revealed its true form

Nathaniel Zhu my favorite comment here

Ah yes, you let John Carpenter into your garden didn't you. That was an error.

Is that the bonkai of a lemon?

BAN-KAI

Lemon: The 7th Tailed Beast

That's a nuclear lemon for sure.

Lance Fulfer because we're a community and we're here for fun as well as information.

Jason Pedersen you can have fun while remaining relevant to the group. This is literally just dumb, and pointless.

Clean FEP ?

Lance Fulfer seems everyone else is enjoying it. Let em have fun and scroll on.

Jason Pedersen those people should be banned as well.

Wow. ✌️

haha yes that to

You need to burn your printer. Burn it now!

See what you need to do is pull the power cord out of the outlet then gently YEET if out the second story window

Mutant lemons.... I like it

That's lemon chicken.

Where can I get the STL?

Your supports are far too thick ?

Never sand your bed

Calico Deluca how does one "yeet gently"?

Make sure you can print the test file that come in the usb ...if that fails too.....time to buy a new printer

Khristian Sutherland you hold it over your head the throw it softly off the balcony, it’s easy I promise

Calico Deluca instructions unclear. The printer is now in multiple pieces. Maybe I yeeted it too hard?

Khristian Sutherland no it’s supposed to be like that, it’s okay and the printer will reset in a few minutes

Calico Deluca what if I didn't buy it with the auto-reassembly bundle? Do I have to reset it manually?

Khristian Sutherland no the recent update had the auto reset in it, but it might take longer, just stare at it without blinking for a few hours

I think it’s come down with a cold. Or maybe The Virus!!!

Calico Deluca if I buy the Flux Capacitor addon, can I reset it retroactively, so I don't have to stare at it for a few hours?

Khristian Sutherland it might be a bit late to, and given the delivery system at the moment i don’t how well that’ll work, but you can definitely try

Did you re level?

If 2020 were a citrus

Looks like a Cthulhu Lemon.

I need to see what that looks like cut in half

I think it's your slicer

Have you considered hiring an exorcist? ?

I don't know if you can attach a file for downloading, happy to look at the mesh for you if you can.

Did it get bit by a radioactive spider?

So THAT is what people mean when they say Resin is not safe for food...

I'd recommend getting a Geiger counter.

Wow, that looks like a whole lemon party.

TC Cramer fucking lol

Sydney opera house

I think you took too late from the tree.... LOL... and became a Starfish... ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Step 1 is to move away from the nuclear power plant.
