Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

That's not sliced. That's a rendered image from an STL

I'm taking about the support! I cannot do that with Chitubox!

yes you can, with the right support settings and without using the auto-support.I suggest this playlist, its a good tutorial and how to place the support for the best results and with good settings:

I’m pretty sure those supports were generated in chitubox But they look like they are manual supports, not auto supports. Meaning whoever prepped the model manually placed each support.

Thx

You can definitely do that in chitubox. Those are chitubox supports. Just adjust the diameters in the support setting if you want them to look like that.

I did those supports for the pre supported Titan Forge Models this month. They were done manually in Chitubox.

That is not a printed model - that is a render

Thank you for doing this. This saves dozens of hours for every single patreon supporter, which has to be thousands of total hours.

yup those look very much like Chitu supports.

Todd Rigertas I agree. Manual support placement is just very tedious to me.

Todd Rigertas No problem, I'm a weirdo who actually enjoys doing it. the more complicated the better.

Yes, think very much! ? It help people like me who just start to learn about support in Chitu!

Bruno L'Archeveque I actually have a set of tutorials and one follow along on my channel that teaches how I do supports, you can also check out 3d printing pros videos on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmV8aGPeS70mDD4U-U2s9UQ

My chitubox supports look nothing like that.. These are fat up to the 45 bend.. then get pretty skinny.. mine do not do that. Mine are fat to the 45 then make a cone to a point where it meets the model.
Not doubting you but I think I would prefer these kind to the ones I have.

I think since I did these supports, it's probably all right for me to recommend my channel, 3d printing pro and I have slightly different processes. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmV8aGPeS70mDD4U-U2s9UQ

I just watched his videos on supports.. I will try his method next time.

You can do some manual stuff with ChiTu like that, a mix of settings and manually placing supports. Given the bases I'd suspect this was done in ChiTu. I don't think I could make Prusa do anything like this without a lot of tinkering.

Yessik Ziiq I love the idea of presupported models so i can just print! But i too enjoy doing the supports myself so have thus far not printed anything presupported lol Its just so soothing and calming placing supports :)

Will check out your videos for some more tips

Rob Robertson Agreed, except for when I did this. This was about 4 hours of hell and eye bleeding.

Yessik Ziiq OMG! that's amazing! well done! i've spent i think 2 hours tops on a single model, 4 hours is a mammoth effort! Maybe if I sub to Titan Forge this month, i'll use your presupported ones! I don't want your effort going to waste!

Yessik Ziiq Can I ask, what is the setting to create such long skinny extensions to the model like this?

Ryan Guenther ptcha, self promotion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tECIg12koSk

I personally recommend watching the 4 Chitubox support tricks episode, which total about 10 minutes and also if you have time, the support along video.

If you're a part of the patreon, which is only 10$ even for the supported models, they come with the .chitubox project file. You can then just click on each support to get all my settings.

Anyone else waiting for lychee guys to chime in?
And yeah, i think lychee can do this too
Not sure on that tho, i use prusa's

Personal preference honestly. Definitely after any print failures or partial failures.

The build plate is small but unduly so. It's a good little printer and perfect for a first resin printer.

Good price too? I cant remember what hubby paid for his bigger photon. Thank you!

If you print models with parts you can print something this big down to a tick hair.

It’s a great entry and beats the hell out of other companies alternatives. Or just wait and get him a full photon.

Thank you!

The bigger ones are $250-$400

It's a little over $100 less than the original photon. I like it. I wrote a review of it in fact

https://www.windowscentral.com/anycubic-photon-zero-3d......

i wonder if its easier or harder to calibrate

is that a full size Warhound titan? Absolute Madlad. haha

Sascha Berlin yes

Sascha Berlin

Check out this review.

Calibrate in which sense? Leveling was real easy because it locks down with four bolts instead of the ball joint. Figuring out the right settings for each type of resin seems like it would be the same as on other printers.

I ordered from their website today and used code : happy-new-year and got $10 bucks off too ? woohoo!

Jonathan Basseri agree completely. But having ball joint background it was tricky at first leveling. It was like: "No way it's this simple" ?

Heather Arangua I have one. They’re nice

awesome! where have you gotten the STL Files from?

I saw this and thought it was the Phrozen sonic mini, but then i was like...OH this is anycubic! saying 'game-On!'

Sascha Berlin just google warhound titan 3D Print and multiple options come right up.

I have airbrushes and I am hand painting this guy right now. I hear ya. Lol

o_o

Thin your paint !!!!!!!

Was easy to connect the parts? I always have to use the Dremel to make them fit

Holy... amazing job

Panagiotis Kountouriotis glad you said that I wish they where ball joints I had to use my blade to slowly cut at it till it fit. My wife just stood there watching me struggle. No clue why it did not fit perfect. I was thinking I did something wrong but you had same issue. Maybe resin shrink?

Tiago Lopes That's the master plan but still hand painting is a pain compared to air brush and I left my airbrush in NYC.

Nelson Phoung thx :)

I had no issues on mine. The resin you use, your exposure settings, and where you put supports can have a big impact

Israel Martinez get a Dremel it is life saver also get a cheap kit of tools like these https://www.ebay.com/itm/122401866319

Would a different angle work making the whole effectively larger

It might but then we get into supports!

Don't know why I can't upload a picture.

I can see the funnel like object. It could be related to your exposure settings. Overexposing will bleed and harden areas around what you intend to. There is a resin test you can run to figure out the best setting for every resin. I forget where to find it off the top of my head.

It shows now. How odd.

I'm trying the print another way to see if it helps.
If not I'll start reducing the exposure and see how it goes.

Make sure it can drain from the pipe. So air can get in

Best solution for a venturi is to reduce exposure and poke the hole back yourself lol...

That was my thought. With one end on the bed it seems like it might act like putting your finger on the end of a straw.

Drill it out, it's just mushrooming on the plate by the sounds of it

That's what I thought at first but it is solid all the way through. Drilled a couple to see.

Is it solid before the post-cure?

Yes, solid right out of the printer.

What's the diameter of the hole?

Chris Sawtelle What's the inner diameter, and which Photon are you using?

I used a 0.5mm bit to drill out and I think the original hole is no bigger.
Hole might just be too small to drain ok while printing.

Chris Sawtelle I'd try tuning your exposure. You shouldn't have problems at 0.5mm.

I did a second run and this time put the parts up on supports so the post and hole were not in contact with the bed. The hole at the ends was there but still solid through most of the post.

Chris Sawtelle What's your exposure?

John Driggers 8/s

Chris Sawtelle I'd try dropping it to 7.5 or 7 and seeing if that helps.

I'll give it a try tomorrow. I was thinking to try and see.

Put the printer in a warmer place to make the resin more running. Could help. Using a non transparent resin could also help. Then of course exposure time to minimum.

If the hole is 0.5mm then it will probably always be filled with resin due to surface tension/capillary effect.

Oh wow.. 0.5mm hole... That's going to be a serious challenge for any of the printers today.. Even the multi-jet half million $$$ printers would be challenged by that..

I'd run it, maybe add some fresh to it

was to lasy to add some ill see :)

its normaly what i do

Mix it with gloved finger

just mix it well as long as there is no uv that went through and cured some resin your fine. I didn't pirnt for 1 month with resin still in the vat and i just mixed it with new on and everything was fine

why bother to use a scrapper :)

John Seraiocco that works too. But with a glove I can feel any bits floating around

It's fine, I've had resin in my vat for over 6 months and just completed a print. I stirred it before printing and no problems.

i am a smoker done last all most killed when i lighted my smoke after

That what i have done to be sure noting was stuck on the Fep ILL show a picture in 2 hours we will see :)

Yeah, I mix w a plastic spatula and run it along the bottom lightly to see if I can feel anything stuck to the fep.

Exactly what i have done just to be sure , in the same time you mixt it

John Seraiocco yep. If you feel something at the bottom then drain & filter to make sure you get the failed pieces out

I'd drain it into a bottle, shake it up, and put it back in.

resin will be fine. just use the plastic spatula if you don't have a rubber one to stir up the resin. if it helps i have had resin in my vat for over a year in the photon only time the vat is empty is if i need to change the fep. also had resin in my moai vat for over a one and a half years. works fine. though i have covered my photon panels so no light can get in. :)

Been that way for a few weeks now, even in the US

yeah, some awesome human bragged in here about buying all but 2 of them a few weeks ago.

Gods damn it. How long you guys think it will take for em to get back in stock?

Why would you use an Elegoo Mars screen for a Photon? Genuinely curious, as I hadn't heard about that combo before.

Eivind cause they are the same screen but the mars screen is half the price.

Mine have shipped today from Italy and Germany. Through amazon

Kevin Boogaard yeah checked both. None of them have any ?

And you wonder why they've sold out lol

Well, I wish I had known that before I ordered a new Anycubic one earlier this week... :p
I'll definitely make a note of it for the next time though. Thanks.

Michael sure I get why they are sold out it just odd that they are sold out. Actually they ain't even sold out they simply don't even show up when searching for em

Could even be a request by anycubuic to amazon. Who knows, but it IS really strange no results show up, even if they're "not available" ones.

Michael Alexander Caddick anycubic cant force amazon to shut down Elegoo from selling their own product tho...

They’re a fairly scarce item most of the time. Especially since it’s compatible with the photon at a lower cost.

My first spare came in a brown box and my second spare is in a white box. I wonder why the packaging change.

Probably cause they ran out of brown boxes ? i work at a storage facility. We ship stuff in what ever box happens to fit. And if brown boxes costs us say 2 dollars a pop. And the another company offers us red boxes for 1 dollar a pop. We use the red boxes for a while ?

Have you tried reflashing or updating the firmware?

Matty J. Lim thank you Matty, that worked a treat, back in the game ? ?

Paul Flynn very happy to hear that mate,

Matty J. Lim i presumed (you know the saying) that the problem was either mechanical or electrical as i had been using it literally 8 hours earlier. I am a mechanical engineer, i can fix almost anything, but i hate software, i don't get it and i never want to ? . Thank you again my man ?

Paul Flynn haha fair enough and no problem :) happy printing and glad i could help
