Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

I painted my cat if you like to see

still wip I'm changing the eyes

Nice paintjob ?

Kevin Deiman oh thank you cant wait to see yours

Marie Stevens still have to order the paint haha. But will post when finished

Chitu has a "hollow" button, so does it for ya, just remember to add at least 2 drainage holes, theres a button for that aswell, right mext to the hollow button

So Chitu and Meshmixer are 2 versions of basically the same thing?

The OG photon has better support with third party tools like the resin exposure test. This is lost today if you were to buy a regular photon though because they switched out the mainboard (search Fauxton in the group for more info) so no advantage over the S anymore in that regard.

what was the difference between the R_E_R_F test for the OG photon that the newer photon/photon S can't do?

RERF is the newer Fauxton/S test. The OG Photon has a different one (resin xp test) that IMHO is better but to each their own.

Photon S has better light source and Z axis. Don't know why it is so underated in this group.

if you buy an original - you will very soon want to the the upgrades like the dual z rail etc, or just get the S and get that and a better UV source as well (something that the original version cannot have at all)

Photon zero if you are ok with the smaller build volume. In my experience, same quality of print as the others. But much cheaper.

I have the first version but personally I would buy the Mars, cause it's like half the price now.

look at the pixel resolution, the Zero is like 75um vs the 45um on the original 2k screen. If you are into hi-def minitures, then the Zero wont be quite as good

David ?

First because I prefer the metal.

Ben Johnston I know the pixel difference however the light is closer on the zero which allows for less distortion. I have a friend with the photon s and we both printed the same mini's with the same resin, at the same settings and could not tell the difference.

Then the guy with the original photon was over exposing. one of the beauties of the original photon was you could run the open source exposure test and get the models almost pixel perfect, albeit the original photon was Not ready for antialiasing. If you are happy with the Zero you are winning.

Just ordered an S. Y’all sold me
On it ?

Photon Zero was supposed to receive zero vote. ?

I don't know much about the differences since I just have the regular photon, but I do wish I had a larger print area.

Photon. With the money you save over the Photon S, upgrade the Z rails and get an EZ level kit. You pay just as much but you end up with a superior printer. Now if Anycubic would make a Photon S2 with those new monochrome LCD, better Z rails, and EZ level... then the price would be worth it. Now with bigger printers at a reasonable price on the horizon... it would be worth waiting for.

Phrozen Sonic Mini - Much faster and overall better build quality.

Jennifer Tallman same

Nothing Anycubic. Not anymore. Epax X1 probably.

Alwin Chan and impossible to find for a reasonable price

Kyle Urban Give it time. There's a larger one coming soon.

I tray with sanitary alchool 70°, and it works fine. But, for the moment, it's dispear from markets. :D

Stefan Arnautu yeah I’m just gonna get a small amount for a cleanup, they’re better off used for the medical purposes right now

I've used 96% ethyl and works great

I just bought some mean green from dollar general, heard it works well, saving the 99 percent for sterlization of prusa head bands for hospitals. Going to dilute that stuff down to 70 percent

Amazing! did you spray glossy top coat on to print?

No, varnish gives an effect in the middle. I use a a coat used to make wooden floors shine, very cheap in use also.

Polyurethane

Just brush a little bit over it

George Bulte thank you! :D

I only see one model

is it an oil for wood? or a type of varnish for wood?

Half of that model looks like it's from Warhammer 40K

The whole model looks clearcoated to me, why isnt there an example of one not clearcoated?

Wow you Downloaded and print my Model.

For those who are not aware here it is

FREE!!!

A snappy salute to all the frontliners sacrificing their lives to keep us all safe from COVID-19

looks like, the one on the left isnt, the one on the right is. How hard is it to think?

Theres no model on the left

(its a joke your not getting dont worry))

Varnish

necron destroyer?

RIcardo Castillo necron lord on destroyer body

Nathanael Gardner see who?

Jason James Grubb precisely!

They should put someone in that roll instead of pretending someone is there and making people wrestle themselves all the time

So clearcoat means you see even LESS detail? :D

And clearcoated the guy also

Made my own ali baba for the uv lamp and solar powered turntable and Amazon for the reflective sheets

can't hurt, but the yellow plastic does is job. I do this, but only transfer resin and prints after dark

Photons have acrylic window panels that have varying UV blocking qualities. But in a bright sunny room? Box up.

I put a box over mine

I throw a small hand towel over mine.

99% is recommended, but other grades also work. The lower the % the more time it needs to act. use a soft brush to get into the detailed parts and clear the resin and anything you use will be fine

Nice, thanks. Can't get Isopropyl alcohol anywhere because of the corona crisis

if you can get methylated spirits, they work just as good
