Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

Normally that’s the lead screw for Z, if it’s well greased and still screaming maybe a motor is out somewhere?

Darn. Hoping that was not it

Seems a lot of things on amazon are showing an april 23rd ship date though people saying they still get it in an average time.

Order direct from Anycubic (ordered resin today and shows 3-5 day ship time for free)

Jon Hammersley eh I've heard the horrors from ordering direct. Never getting printers and so forth.

Michael Grace got my was/cure thing in the promised time so took a chance. Ordered some from Amazon also just in case the April date was just for show

Is there something stuck in it?

That's a good thing... likely is that its come unplugged during shipping. All it seems to do is blow resin fumes all around your work space and many of us disable it anyway!!

While you should figure out what's going on with it (maybe a loose connection?) I don't think it's a critical piece. Especially if you've added any mods that suck out the fumes.

I think mine only clicked on when it was actually printing. I am not sure though as I put a whole carbon filter vent system

du kan köpa en ny fläkt om du vill ha den men den är inte nödvändig Jens Faxøe Hannibalsen . Den är för att ta bort lukten från resinet inne i skrivaren..
Jag har kopplat bort mina fläktar förutom de som är till kylning för moderkort osv....

Bunch of people block this fan so... think you will be fine.

Okay. - thanks for the respond, so it doesn’t do anything then remove the smell?

It's SUPPOSED to remove the smell, but it actually just adds to it because all it really does is blow fumes all around your house

Jarin - thanks ??

Jens Faxøe Hannibalsen this reduces the smell

Water is not going to mix well with resin...

Scott Pavlich

It’s not going to be much water. Like a teaspoon just to concentrate the dye. It will basically be like a gel and not full on liquid.

It will utterly ruin the resin.

Ok so are there any other substances I can add the dye powder to that won’t ruin the resin?

Sean Smith This is what I’m talking about though...it doesn’t mix AT ALL. Maybe try alcohol though

Directly to the resin? Why use another material? You could test it by adding wither the solution or powder to a teaspoon of resin then cook it in your curing station to see exactly what happens. Sound quite interesting as an experiment.

A very small amount with ipa should allow you to color the resin without affecting the resin itself: all the dyes I’ve used with industrial epoxy have been alcohol based

Scott Pavlich But IPA dissolves the uncured resin.

There has to be something else Incan use.

Sean Smith It does...but in minuscule amounts it won’t do anything...just use enough to barely dissolve the pigment then mix it into the resin....I accidentally splashed some in my vat once and just mixed it in real well...printed fine. Many of the liquid resin dyes are already alcohol based for this reason...Monocure’s might even be...the liquid has to be a “solvent” to resin for it to actually work

Bro don’t rule out main power inconsistency , I kanna before print 1/2 way the machine just froze

Shake the resin b4 u add it make sure theres no bubbles and lvl your bed over n over till your certain

i see heresy :D

When the print requires them. Best advice I can give you is watch some of Greg Kourakos videos...there’s no way to really say “when” you need supports other than to prevent islands and as the part reaches a point it needs them

Scott Pavlich ok, because I just finished fantastic print but so many supports making it very ugly.

Robert Clauff It’s difficult for anyone to simply say “you need 20” or “every 5mm” or anything like that. Every print requires its own set per the configuration or the model, the angle it’s on, whether it’s hollow or not, what kind of cross sections it has, does it have arms that stick out, etc. But watch the videos and you’ll get the basics real quick
If you run into questions on a particular print, then post a screenshot here and any number of people will help you out.
Happy printing

Scott Pavlich here was my latest

Nice!! Show us the cleaner now. I'm slap out

Jeffrey Opel

Nice!

Is that resin any good

Kane Gibson it's supposed to be pretty close to Elegoo Rapid Gray. I haven't used it before. But they were basically the only vendor I could find who could get me.resin before mid to late April

Kane Gibson that said, it's Monoprice, they usually deliver a solid mid-range product.

William Tatum ok I was looking at it the other day

William Tatum I wont have resin till the 2nd week of April

Kane Gibson I'll report back after I use it. I'm currently working through a liter of Sain Smart Amazon resin. That resin has been good, but it is MUCH more brittle and I have to be a lot more careful taking supports off.

William Tatum ok thanks

I used a liter recently and had no complaints. I was not crazy about bright green color though but that is what I ordered.

That green is perfect! I see it's folkart but what shade? Did you just use it as is?

Yes loving that shade of green

This is about half the baby yodas I printed. I even did one that was the side of a monster can.

Scott Ball hand brushed on as is

Mike Kimmel love the eyes

Christopher Barnes dang.. take off the cock ring, turning blue

Mika Gruszka

Hoghead Hoffer thanks!

Andrew Lindley

Thanks

Hoghead Hoffer don’t tell me how to live my life.

That’s nice!
What green is that?! Description and number .

Can I get the stl for the baby yoda that you printed? I keep looking on thingiverse but they all lead to 404

28mm scale

Matthew M Canfield

Christopher Barnes looks like u wore it too long on the other 3. they turned black

So the stand in the background, did you print that?

Melissa Dodd nah, got it for 60 cents at a store going out of business.

Hoghead Hoffer cant beat that!

Hoghead Hoffer thanks!!

With friends!

Omg you decapitated baby Yoda....YOU MONSTER!!!!

Israel Martinez he had it coming

Painting my baby yoda today. I had to mix my own colors for the flesh tone. XD

Any ideas?

25 micrcons is the practical limit as that’s the resolution of the screen although theoretically you could over burn to get it smaller, but it won’t be reliable

could i then reliably print negative space of say a straight line of 0.1mm width negative? abd say 0.1 deep

You can't print an STL file, when you slice it with the correct settings for your printer, you will have a different type of file saved by the software

If you have the photon printer then you need to save them from the slicing software to the USB stick as a .photon file. The printer should recognize it then.

Thank you. I saved the Photon file but I must have copied the stl file to the USB. I decided to give up for the day but will try it again tomorrow.

Thank you. I did save the Photon file but I must have coped the STL instead of the Photon to the USB drive. Will give it another try tomorrow.
