Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

I run my saraiya tech fast grey at 7 bottom layers atb70 seconds and 9second exposure on my photon, I dont get the resin slime very often. Make sure you're in the 4.2.18 firmware if you have an og photon

I'll give those a shot next print and see if it solves my problem, thanks!

Be careful, the ABS like needs higher exposure than the regular fast resin. When I was running ABS like gray on my og photon, it was more like 13-14 seconds at .050

Fred Bey If Tm's version does not work Ill try that next

Fred Bey I started with it at 11 seconds, but my prints were over exposed and the details were soft, 9 works for me

How old is your lcd? Something like that isn’t generally an exposure problem...though you are about 2 sec higher than I run for that layer

Less than 6 months.

Tim's numbers seemed to work well. A little spotting on the bottom but nothing strange like the first couple of times.

So this is several parts somehow glued together?

Shane Thomas Yeah, you can find the STL files on the My Mini Factory website. They also have the model full body

What else is in it?

i got 4 jugs for 11$ at costco. going to try a few more tests and change the storage and ventilation in my setup

If it dont leave residue and paint still sticks go for it. I use gasoline anti ice stuff that is 99% ipa (Well almost pure, but they bottle other stuff too so there might be tiny amounts other stuff too)

Going to try priming in a bit. Im still rinsing with a small amount of iso in a lettice spinner. Definitely need to rebottle it after and clean the tank. Stinks

So cartoony

When post-curing, do you cure both sides or only the top?
Cured resin shrinks. When the top of the wing cures faster than the bottom it could curl up due to different states of the resin.

Shrinkage.

Thanks Sander van Deijl , I'll give the next batch a curing from beneath and see if it changes things.

Peter Martin where did you get those stl files? :P

Print them vertically. I had it with gun barrels. The already cured layers shrink away from the new layers. If you print vertically this has little effect

Aerodynamic stress on the wings when flying.

Try curing both sides of the wing the same amount?

had similar issues with zeros. so thin...

I knew 5G pulling in a Ju-52 was asking for trouble!

That's a great solution, thanks!

The Ju-52 is Thingiverse, the Potez 631 is my own model. PM me if you want a copy :)

Exactly my thoughts :D

Peter Martin good way is to cure in water as helps to hit all sides at once refraction in the water and such

Curing too fast? Use some form of turn table nose down. Cure slower move light source away more

try curing them with the support attached? might keep everything lined up

If I had to guess, I'd say the top and bottom of the wings are doing final cure at different rates, which is causing the resin to expand/contract on one side at a different rate than on the other, which is warping it.

It’s just dihedral ?

It wasn't there when I sculpted it! ?

I was just joking with you. I have no clue. Just started 3D printing 3 days ago lol. ?

I would try to cure it on water bath.

Our a mirror /tin foil underneath.

Jonathan Perdomo you beat me to it!!

To be fair, it looks great, make the planes wings look like they are under a taxing load. Wing flex is a real thing for these craft.

Richard Humble 60deg worked for me when 45 kept producing curls

Please. Nobody GOES to work any more.

I checked before work. 12 hour print started before bed didn't adhere to the plate and I didnt have time to clean the resin before I had to go. So much wasted time...

So real

I feel you I woke up to this, ran out of resin on the overnight. the good news is I was able to use 3D builder to fix it. I've got the missing bit printing now.

William Tatum had the same thing happen

Prints Ali, fabulous he Ali Ababwa!

Haha, i have octoprint setup to both my Fdm printer and resin, well can't control the resin printer but I can see the print. ;)

I've been there

Octoprint, just saying, with a remote powerswitch option.

Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing

Body and head are printing now. Just finished separating all the body parts, orienting them, and supporting them. Gonna be a long print...lol

Printed great. No issues. I did hollow the torso though.

Hugh Jeriolas i hollowed the torso and rock

Charles Lease Sorry. Rock too. Lol. That’s a lot of resin to waste when it’s so hard to get right now.

Cure the water and strain it a few times.

I would put the water in a clear bottle, leave it out in the sun somewhere safe then pass it through a coffee filter before pouring it down the drain. Theres enough plastic in the water ways as it is.

Do not flush it, that's for sure. Most resins are a disaster for the environment.
My flow is the following: cure used IPA and water, filter the cured resin, and then re-use or, if unusable - leave near the sunny window till evaporates.

There's no need to use water in the first place

It causes more harm than good. Ipa, then cleaner Ipa, done.

Re uses your IPA as well.

thank you for the advices :)

Have you tried prusa, Ive not had trouble with their supports?

Can you post a shot of the slicer in chitubox so we got a clue on what it should look like

You should slice the file again and look layer by layer from the bottom up. I recently had chitubox totally not slice a layer that would be during the support printing. It was like layer 15-20 for me. I had to reload the model and resupport it to fix t he issue. Anytime I sliced the model I had already put supports in it happened. When I redid it there was no issue. But check layers first because i dont know if this is what happened to you.

I use Prusa SL1 because it's so easy to use. The supports are there, but a section of them are not printing until about 1/2 way up. It's very odd.

Chitu box.

I've tried resliceing, This is the second time this has happened. Here is last nights print. The supports didn't start on the outside edge like today's, but then it started forming then had a memory error.

I would guess it's a problem with the fep tension. Tensioned too tight, so the middle supports come off fine, but the edges stay on it

I don't think so. The base underneath the missing supports is fine.

I have updated to the newest version of Chitubox and sliced it again. Now have the printer humming away. Another thought - maybe malfunctioning electronics in the printer?

Pico Elgin the base is a strong piece, the supports are small tiny surfaces

I don't think it's a chitubox issue. as mentioned in your previous post, I've encountered the exact same error. my model was supported in another program however and then imported into chitu. so, at best, it at least cannot be the chitubox support generation.

very interesting point.

It's not Chitubox. It's Photon. Looking at the prints from yesterday and today, I realized that the section size was the same.It's 12 mm high, but an unknowwn width, near 28 mm.

The above print was placed long ways on the build platform, due to its size. This print was placed at 90 degrees.. See the 12 mm cut-out? This has to be a Photon glitch in the electronics somewhere, blocking a section of the print.Not only does it angle left to right, but from front to back, a little bit. Guess I will check the warranty. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

See my post about the 12 mm "section" taken out of the supports.

Pico Elgin I had similar issue after replacing the FEP and using a new exposure setting. I didn't have my FEP tuned properly. And the new settings were under exposed leaving the base and supports attached and nothing attached to the supports.
It appea rs at some point during your print there was enough surface tension on the plate to finally pull the stuff stuck to the plate off the FEP but at an unusual angle.
It doesn't appear to be an electronic problem. But a combination of exposure and FEP tension.

I have finally found the problem. I was under exposing the layers. They were 100 u, exposed at 16 seconds. That worked reasonably well the first time I tried it, in the print of the front of the model, but the rear of the model had larger volume and that didn't work so well. Here is an image of a print with a torn piece and lots of glitches in the supports.

I decided to use Anycubic white, which I've had some experience with. The print was perfect.

Gregory Akin I'll let you know when I release the set for sale a little later. haha

Wow. This is amazing dude. Well done ? ?

Please let me know too

Terror Dog WIP

No link yet where to get this file from?

Michael G Kieffer not yet, I'm creating an entire set. Then after I sell the physical set, I'll release the files for sale. I'll keep you posted

Thanks

They look like great statues to a great franchise.

Michael G Kieffer thanks man I appreciate it!

Great work men ?

Let us know when evrything is ready.

Bruno L'Archeveque will do

Please modell printer and peramerts ?

Igor Melnyk I'm using the original photon and 10 second exposure with .04 layer height. Elegoo grey resin.
