Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

i like but i'd have a plug/rod to semi lock in place last thing u want is a small knock and it all on floor

yes please

I'd be interested too

I'd modify it so you could use a similar screw to the normal build plate XD

yea just to keep in place

stl pls

wouldn't be hard to make ya own

pretty usefull actually

something else I didn't know I wanted

that seems super handy!

Awesome!

I'd use it

I'd use that. I'd also echo one of the above comments about tapping a screw hole to use the one that comes stock.

Is this meant to be printed in resin or FDM? Depending on the answer, I might have a design suggestion.

Yes!

Useful!

Genius! I never thought about this haha

Good idea but how much resin would you need to save to make up for the print? Also a little worried as resin can break easily, unless of course this is to be printed on an fdm printer. Nice idea though.

Stevo Hill you're very right I just got lazy and didn't want to cut threads. But the knob screw is an M6 for anyone interested. I figure that the last bits of a bottle won't be too messy if the spill ?

Justin Lincoln you're very right I just got lazy and didn't want to cut a threaded hole, I'll accept the ramifications ? but the bottle I used to demo is half full, and I figure if you're draining it there isn't much left anyway

Yes please. I’ll make it FDM though ?

Josh Berkley I might honestly use this to just siphon bottles into other bottles, for when I finally make my "Franken" Resin

Shawn O'Hara I printed in SLA so I didn't have to use supports and for a more accurate fit on the post. But all ears on that suggestion either way as I do have an FDM printer (that needs tinkering to run again)

yea i get just was my 2cents worth :P

Colin Hughes I printed it on my SLA machine. After curing it's quite strong. The large bottle in the photo is about half full. If you're using this I imagine there isn't much left in the bottle at all so very light

Robert Maefs my FDM printer is currently down and I'm impatient. That's about the gist of it haha

Justin Lincoln I mix all the time. Part of the fun!

Josh Berkley we do what we can with what we have!

As log as its not the last of your first bottle :p

Thanks love the idea

Josh Berkley Fair. I can tell it's resin and looks super clean, but I think this application is more suited to FDM overall. Cheaper, arguably faster but that's pretty moot. I'd think it has less of a chance to break than resin, but again, depends on the resin vs the weight of the bottle.

Anyways, the suggestion is that for those who want to print in FDM, the bottom should be totally flat. It might already be, but I can't tell if it tapers upwards from the mount to the disc or not. Printing in FDM in the orientation it's designed to function in will give the largest cross section of layers and therefore be strongest in that orientation during the printing.

Count me interested for when i eventually get my first resin printer

Chris Denyer best purchase I've made in a long time

Shawn O'Hara that makes total sense. Being that I printed in resin I wasn't so concerned about horizontal and more about vertical continuity, so I designed only considering that. It does in fact taper upward slightly

I ordered the zero (got it for 99) but i guess they are on backorder

Josh Berkley That's a valid point, at 3am my brain is fried from children keeping ne awake lol, of course an empty bottle is light. Duh!

I will see how this develops with the ideas of a securing screw etc.

Thanks

Colin

Chris Denyer I want one very badly but I currently have two photons. Hoping to add that and a wash/cure station to my arsenal soon

Colin Hughes the screw used on the photon build plate is an M6, I didn't feel like cutting a threaded hole but it is definitely possible. I hope someone improves my design!

Josh Berkley I'm interested in the wash and cure as well in the future but kinda already spent all my tax money lol. Originally I was going to get a Mars or a photon but then i saw the mars pro was coming out so i was just going to wait for that since i had most of the money. Then someone mentioned something about the new Zero and at first i wasn't interested but when i got a $70 off coupon i got more interested and it left me money to buy something else I've been wanting for a while (ps4 with spiderman and the new ff7 remake)

Chris Denyer I have Spiderman as well fantastic choice. The zero is very interesting to me, higher anti aliasing with only small sacrifice to build size and much more affordable

Josh Berkley I've seen videos, the reviews and watched my son play it, when we were visiting home, on my brother's machine. Can't wait for it to arrive this week.

I'll take 20.

Joe Iovino

This for an Epax x1 please

Hahahah nice work!!!

Definitely interested.

Great idea!

Chris Thiessen I wish I had that many printers!

Please post!

And when bored during quarantine, dip it into the resin and blow bubbles!!

No don’t do that lol

lol

Sean Smith it doubles as a bubble wand for the kids ?

under UV light.

That looks like it costs far more resin than it will save.

just fdm it

James Smith the entire print was about 40mL. Not too costly. Also it's more because I don't feel like standing there holding the bottle ?

Josh Berkley ?

I would definitely use something like this.

I have uploaded the files as well as solidworks models to thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4238586

200 IQ

sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones :)

Si recupera nel tempo meno resina di quanta ne sia servita per stampare il supporto bottiglia

Yes please!

Yes... This is perfect. I'm tired of balancing the bottle or a plastic cup til it empties.

Nice

Cool

Why not just download the bottle to bottle adaptor? Empty the resin in one bottle then use when about to print. Waiting for ax bottle to drain into your vat seems really inconvenient.

not when iam trying to get every drop i can for a print , this would save me time holding the bottle waiting

Stevo Hill https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3761273

but i dont want it in another bottle i'd want it in the tray

404 error on this file.

James Turner like most things on Thingiverse these days

You should have added a small twist to it, that way the resin would gather to one point and fall easier.

Dávid Pelyva not a bad idea, what I have been doing is just offsetting the bottle in the ring, the is actually a concave lip around the inside that allows you to do so

Hobbie Gus Gus the only time you'd be draining in this manner would be to ensure you're using an entire bottle at it's end when there isn't much left. Why would you put such a small amount in a second container when you can just utilize it in the machine

Josh Berkley I just collect the remaining into 1 bottle. Since I use enough of the same resin, it works for me. I have 7 machines running 24/7.

Josh Berkley because you can fill your vat and start a new print, then use this to get every last drop into your newly opened bottle. You don't have to do it into an empty bottle. That's just silly.

And the best part is, you aren't losing print time. I didn't spend $200 or more for a bottle drip stand... I spent the money for a 3D printer.

Paul West To each his own, I don't have time to wait for a bottle to drip empty. Time is money and I start prints ASAP to fill orders.

Hobbie Gus Gus I'm with you 100%... I think hanging it on the printer is just plain silly. Thankfully, what others choose to do with their printer(s) doesn't impact what I do with mine.

Jesper Hvid True, and the website redesign is slow as my grandmother running the 100m dash. (hint she can't because she passed 10 yrs ago RIP).

Hobbie Gus Gus well this part clearly wouldn't be useful to you ?

What about modifing it so work with this stand for the vat tray? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3841061......

I'll look into it

Following

Josh Berkley I cannot download it....

Marcin Stolarek it had given me a lot of problems I'll look at it again

Marcin Stolarek first upload so I apologise

Download on thingiverse finally working. Sorry everyone!

50-50 siriya blu and elegoo gray. Or 30 blu 70 gray.

Shawn McDonald gray?

Mix fast and tenacious 30% tenacious 70 fast

a hollow space within a box using the "hole" feature in tinkercad?

Awesome! I’d love to see a video or tutorial on how this is done

Rantinan Winters

Time to share some more info!

Awesome, totally awesome!

How do you handle suction?

following. holy moly thats cool

Anthony Fennell close, I import both a prism (or any shape) able to encompass the model you wish to show as the "hologram" into meshmixer and do the Boolean difference. Creating a cavity within the box. But be sure to make drain holes so the cavity is visible

Do you a boolean remove operation to achieve the shaped cavity within the block?

Ian Henry if this is an area of interest I'd happily oblige

Andrés Felipe Díaz Viloria if you'd like a video on how I did it let me know or PM me for detailed instructions!

Shane Johnson there are drainage holes in every isolated cavity (or should be, this was a first go and I hadn't worked out all the bugs yet) and they allow for pressure to be equal

Larry McCauley exactly

Aarón Navarro

Either would be perfect!

Video please . I want to see the effect in action .

Leo Bejarano I will work on this soon!

Bruh

I think a video is going to be the most effective way to disperse instructions for this. Even though as you said your technique is not 100%, Others will take it from where you are and perfect it. Nice job and thank you for sharing.

Superb idea, fantastic execution.

Josh Berkley could I see?

I'd be interested in that too...

Looks great

Peyton Smith seems like many of you want to see the method in a video so I'm going to get started on it right away!

awesome

Larry McCauley thank you! It's a WIP. It's a dinosaur skull, the mandible didn't show up quite as well as I'd hoped because I didn't account for proper drainage but I'm refining the process.

Leonora Carrillo no entiendo

Aarón Navarro se ve padre no? Jajaja

Leonora Carrillo si, pero no le veo lo holográfico.

Please I want too

very cool

This is awsome! Super interested!

Josh Berkley yea would love to see a video

Ryan Ray Long never done anything like it before but I'll do my best to be as detailed as possible.

There’s a guy who does it on patreon, he’s making wisps next month with ghost skulls inside

Philip J Newman I'll have to check it out!

I can imagine the drainage being a real test. The only way is to keep on refining.

Josh Berkley his name is “gloomykid” on patreon

Video

pretty much use boolian in blender to take any file you want and just cut out the shape in a cube or whatever basic or advanced shape you want.

Tsri Elddi Tsa yep I used meshmixer but same principle!

I’ll be waiting

Martin Girón I'm way ahead of you don't worry. I even have the cane modeled as a base for it

Josh Berkley ? ? really?

I can't really tell what the shape inside is. Is it much clearer in person? I'm imagining the possibilities myself

?

Awesome

Christopher King hard to photograph, but it is a dinosaur skull. Also the mandible did not develop quite right. I didn't allocate proper drainage to that section. Hopefully with the description you can see better!

Christopher King constantly improving the process!

Martin Girón yes but my first run didn't turn out as I hoped. Back to the drawing board! Those skinny legs are a challenge

Very cool

As the model continues to drain the rest develops even better. Hopefully this image is better!

Wowsers! Are you going to let us in on the secret or market it?

Please show how it works

Josh Berkley yeah i see it now. im considering the possibility of using this technique and fill the hollow with castable resin for potentially cool effects

i have considered the same! I have old diabetic insulin syringes I no longer use I was thinking of using to get into the small areas

I am currently editing a video on just that

Both! why don't we all cash in. Video coming

Following

need a video demonstration

Great project

editing now!

Very cool

I'm thinking "wow, cool" and "this guy gives a flying fuck about using too much resin" 8)

So it's like these ornaments:

My thoughts are “where is the video of how to” ? looks good ?

Daniel Kottmair wait till you see this waste caused by faulty usb initiation...

I think you need to show us how to do it..... ?

Look forward to seeing the video

Eros Benjamin that is 3d fiberlaser

Eros Benjamin yes very similar in end result!

Eros Benjamin however not the same procedure at all

Can't wait to see the video. ?

I more impressed by your straight lines

No lines and nothing.... why ?

Chris Kölsch you'll see in the video which will be uploaded tomorrow, but I wet sand the surface using very fine grit sandpaper

Josh Berkley ok sanding
But still form bottom to top one straight line

Which my don’t makr

Chris Kölsch it's possible your z axis needs adjusting. Anycubic has a video on how to do so on their YouTube channel

You are a pioneer! For sure. I was wondering how long it’d take someone to figure this process out. At least similarly. Are you reverse cutting negative shapes out of a block then printing the form with the inside drainage system in place?

We had to d o that for some background piece for some prop. Giving the illusion of nothing inside of a resin thing people didn’t know you could just 3D print It so the wow factor was I guess overlooked. Because people didn’t know what they were looking at. Love anything with dinosaurs excellent work dude! Can’t wait to see ur tutorial. See if u did the same thing.

Adil Muschelewicz the video will go into detail more but yes what I did was use meshmixer software to do a "Boolean difference" operation. So it takes the solid out of the block leaving a cavity

did you print flat to the buildplate?
Amazing how we can't see no artifacts or so :O

Josh Berkley yep zbrush never called or boolean but maya and blender and cinema 4d did. NOW zbrush has live boolean but we had to use the merge down and dynameash with the boolenian icon to click over the layer. Thinking with resin is where these kids need to go! So definitely let people know they can use other programs to achieve an inverse cut like that. Meshmixwer is nice to use as well. Power on Duder pants!

Adil Muschelewicz did this a while ago ?

Post a link to the video in this thread when u finish it.
I'd love to take a look :)

that looks amazing

Serkan Budur that’s pretty

How to get this sub-surface model from photo?? And what is this process named like?

Hamza Bavčić you wouldn’t get it from a photo you’d take a 3D scan and stick it in the cube think backwards or just wait for the tutorial because he said he’s making one

Following

Hamza Bavčić he's right I am making one, I need to add a section to the video because I've realized I left something out then it will be uploaded today

Nice work

to me it looks like the skull is empty space.

I teach anatomy and biology. Would love to learn how to do this.

Its a negative print. The feature inside is empty space, and the area around it is solid resin.

Christopher Fugate is it a software tool?

Jason Saiter you can do negatives in inventor and similar quite easily

inventor is free for students and similar

this could be done with a casting resin with a little dye (if you don't mix the colour in well enough you get a more realistic transparancy)

You can do negatives in 3D builder on Windows as well. Just do a subtraction in a block the size you need and the model will be removed from the interior. ?

Love it man

Guess I need to get more transparent resin.

That’s sick!!!

I see someone has discovered Boolean actions haha, turns out pretty cool right?!

All correct! I use meshmixer as it is just a preference thing. I have a video currently uploading to YouTube. I will make a new post with a link when it's done. I have a slow connection it seems

maybe coat your hands with baby powder before you slip on the gloves ???

definitely don't handle wet resin with bare hands, it causes anaphylactic reactions, or eventually will once your body begins to recognize its presence in your skin, that's unfortunate you have some latex-like allergy to the nitrile gloves unfortunately, definitely look for alternatives once the pandemic settles down

The resin used to print is called an "accumulative toxin". Meaning the more you are around it, the worse your reaction will be. This applies to touching and breathing.

Right now you may be able to get some on your skin and wash it off no problem. But eventually it may leave burns or rashes.

How safe you wanna be is up to you. But I would recommend finding alternative gloves over barehanded

That’s bad luck with the gene pool ?

but he might be alright with latex, which are usually cheaper, but again it comes down to finding any currently

I can keep using the nitrile it's just a bit itchy afterward if that's safer then the resin until I can get new gloves.

Just kind of sad that protecting myself leaves me with irritated skin and not leaves me feeling fine.

Miles Redman latex is fine... this would be my first allergy.

thank goodness it's such a specific and easy to avoid one for the future!

Switch to a different type of gloves? Maybe vinyl would work better for you? https://amzn.to/2xVFoUb

if you have any other gloves, even leather, winter, or work gloves, you could put the nitrile over those to protect your skin from the nitrile while you work, not ideal but it would help out in a pinch

Bryan Maenz yea thats rough.... If it makes you feel better, i poop blood sometimes...

out of stock... thats the issue. would love to switch but not a great time for buying gloves. I also should probably leave gloves to people who need them for medical reasons at the moment.

I figure almost any suggestion is going to be out of stock right now :)

Reackon it would work if you used latex gloves under the nitrite ones?

Mcmastercarr.com has everything

Cameron Lee Johnson a little bit, thanks.

I've seen other people say vinyl gloves dont keep the resin out, not sure how true that is.

Tim Borschel Yes, but nitrile over the vinyl may help alleviate the itching.

https://www.amazon.com/West-Chester....../dp/B01N2WMNZ9

Something like these may be an option also and they don't really contend with medical supply chains at the moment as they're more janitorial in nature, just rinse them off in your alcohol bath and set them outside to dry when you're done using them

Good info here https://www.yourglovesource.com/....../39714689...... try a different brand or look for accelerator free nitrile gloves

i use dollar store kitchen gloves and they work great..

I first started with itches and then went to looking like my skin was burned,glossy like
I started to use lotion on my hands before the gloves are put on and it works ok. I use now the Neoprene gloves which are better

Get better gloves. Do not handle acrylate monomers without gloves

This isn't true at all. It's a sensitizer certainly, but not because it bioaccumulates, our bodies actually process and expel acrylates very quickly.

Use a Barrier Cream before putting the gloves on.

I get a little itchiness if I need to wear gloves for more than 5 mins or so.

I'm allergic to nitrile, latex and vinyl (I know, shit luck). Best thing I've found is either barrier cream, or wear cotton gloves as a buffer between your skin and the glove.
Having worked in an industry where gloves are mandatory, cotton liners were a godsend.

Haven't used gloves since I'm grown-up and can remove my prints from the plate and get them in and out of the IPA... All without touching any resin!

As someone with multiple friends/aquaintances who have developed rather serious resin allergies from working with it for years (one who's allergy started while we were on a job together...and he is quite careful) and another who breaks out in full body rash if she's even near the stuff now, I'd maybe rethink your approach.

Try latex if anything.

Latex gloves don't protect against resin sadly, and since you probably have a nitrile allergy, I would suggest trying vinyl gloves. They are a bit finicky, since they don't really stretch, but I have never met anyone allergic to vinyl.

Yep PPE is no joke.

try use talcum on your hands before u put the gloves on... it might work

also gloves comes on and off easier

Get some barrier cream, coat hands b4 using gloves or buy some actual chem resistant rubber gloves

Amazing

Would love to know what resin and settings!

Also amazing sculpt

That is honestly terrifying to me, but amazing quality.

Jasmine Velazquez thank you very much ?

Tiana Kovacevic thanks for the interest. I use the standard Anycubic grey resin.
Settings-wise I cure the bottom three layers for 90 seconds and other layer at 9 seconds at 0.05mm ? I make sure there is a nice surface area to the raft also, with very few holes. This gives an even lift to all of the supports and seems to work consistently!

Mika Gruszka thank you so much :p

Would be too much if i ask for the stl? I actually really like the style and design!

Rico Reyna this may well go up on my My Mini Factory Page when I get it set up this week :) add me on there for updates!! Thanks for the interest ?

cursed

Hello. Please me model printer and parametrs ?

Spectroid

thx bro

Al Espina np :)

Stuart Johnson now i gotta figure out how the F to do achieve the right point

Stuart Johnson first time changin the Fep

Tighter = higher pitch. Just tighten them evenly a bit at a time :)

the last screws? (big ones) or the first one (tiny bunch that holds the fep) ?

Big ones. The others just hold the fep in the frame.

3d print farm has a solid video...even.if i can't abide his style

Stuart Johnson thx !!

It's listed as buildable to that height, but you'd be seriously pushing the limits, and anything right at the edge like that is iffy. Could work, might not. Could vary based on print or even temperature.

You think that height already accounts for peal motion?
