Anycubic Photon Printer Owners 造訪社團

Trying my damnedest to get this mini to print at 100%.

I'm SO CLOSE! Just missing one scabbard and some hair!

practicing supports. and having fun with them

Scimitar sword in 1/6 scale for a Saracen Warrior I’m putting together. Not having a great deal of success with printing swords. They either come out too thin or I have a print fail. Fingers crossed for this one.
Just finished printing a couple of Persian style helmets for him too, curing in the sun here at the moment.

I am trying to print some small scale ww1 battleships atm :)

Leg of lamb

very hot water before curing

Hot water before and the longer you soak generally the easier it is to remove them.

Thanks all

you shouldnt print them like that, search for yt vids like auto supporting in prusa slicer, and you will see the orienting difference! The settings for different resins can be found in the “resin spreadsheet” just search for that and u will find it

As Papp said, get them away from the build plate for better results.

I'll try I been using chitubox I'll try prusa slicer next

you didn't wash it after print?

Scarleta Win yes with mean green tho

Given how deep the shit is with shortages that the CDC is even asking frontliners to make do with bandanas (!), I say carry on printing. Anything is better than nothing.

Biocombatibilty. Photopolymers once fully cured are just plastics. No worries about leaching we're not talking about stic king it in your mouth or implants.

Rigidity and sealing. Choice of resin is key. Flex resin, etc. are available.

Filtration. Again, anything is better than nothing. Because, viral load.

Finally, wearing a mask is not all about protecting yourself. Don't go getting a false sense of security with one. All it does is reduce the risk for you and (if you're asymptomatic) everyone around you. The more people that wear a mask, the better.

CDC is telling HCP that a bandana is a last resort in the absence of PPE. What we are printing is the same, except you are proposing to use photopolymers which contain unknown monomers.

The material on your link seems ok at in least short term. For sure if things got desperate I'd wear whatever i could get my hands on.

Sure it's not on your mouth but it is in the wet air path which is subject to tighter regulations than just skin contact as it reaches mucosal membranes. You shouldn't fit these to someone effected by the virus in case it was an irritant and worsened the pneumonia

Absolutely.

" The median-fit factor of the homemade masks was one-half that of the surgical masks. Both masks significantly reduced the number of microorganisms expelled by volunteers.. "

Homemade masks as an alternative to commercial face masks. Better than nothing. This is the situation no?

Sen Kun that a sewing machine and a tshirt is better option? Yes.

nextdent ortho clear resin is biocompatible it is for dental splints and retainers

The main three routes of entry for viruses into the human body are the mouth, nose and EYES.

Not enough exposure time possibly.

It's too big of a flat surface parallel to the base. When it lifts up the weight of the liquid resin is ripping it off the supports.

Angle it so the resin can drain off a slope.

Christopher Fugate I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

Had something like this happen to me earlier and it was because I had hollowed my model and my drainage holes where not big enough and I got to much suction. I would check for any cuping in your slice. Also you might want to lean back your model and use prusa slicer to create your supports.

Jack Burton Whenever possible, do not have large flat surfaces pointing towards the print bed. I'm honestly impressed it printed as well as it did!

Put in stronger supports, medium or heavy..

Daniel Kottmair is there a guideline on when to use light, medium, and strong supports?

Christopher Fugate thanks! Restarted the print and it’s looking better so far. Will report back with findings ?

Jack Burton No. Common sense and experience I guess, i learned also the little I know through trial & error, and I'm far from done! ;-)

Heavy when they need to carry A LOT of load (or strong angular forces, don't forget about those!), I also like to support the corners of slabs with a medium..

Tilting the model was the answer, thank you! It seems like I should be able to print the model way bigger than Chitubox lets me. Do I need to adjust the build volume for the Photon S or is the LCD smaller than the build plate?

i've got two gray and one clear arriving tuesday.

Anycubic green has awesome detail but runs a bit brittle.

I use it. Im just careful with it.

Use Siraya Fast Tech. $35 for 1000ml

I switched a while ago from Anycubic to Elegoo. I think it smells less and its a bit cheaper. Although in the US anyway Elegoo resin prices for 500ml used to be 16.99 then 17.99 and now 19.99. 1000 is actually 36.99 right now so I just ordered a few of those but they won't ship for at least a week.

Amazon ran out of Elegoo ABS Grey, which I love, so just ordered Siraya Tech Fast. We'll see how that goes.

Use the calibration finder to save time and resin.

(also Amazon is holding of on stocking non-essential items right now, so it might be a while before we see resin back on their shelves.)

calibration finder? The spreadsheet?

Looks like they're running out of everything. I ordered some Elegoo because they said it was in stock

Seconding this. It does run about a second faster than the anycubic grey though.

No, there's actually a printable tool that you print to check resin. For classic photon or Mars you can google 'ResinXP Finder.' for the new photon or photon S you'll use the R.E.R.F. file that I don't have handy.

All the RERFs I'm finding seem to be for PhotonS

Instructions and link

Amazon is not restocking anything not household or medical related for the time being. Once they are out of resin, they are out.

I won't panic buy. I won't panic buy, I won't panic buy...

I didn't panic buy, but I bought some extras to have enough to get me through. lol Couple liters of resin and a couple Kg of filament.

Monocure Rapid Grey. I’ve heard that their charcoal has been producing great results too.

Third it!! Wat stronger than AC

Siraya Fast Grey any Siraya resins are my go to now.

Seriously, Siraya fast ABS-like is a superior product. Less brittle, less smell.

Now all resin on Amazon is estimated delivery of April 21

I've switched to siraya fast grey and it works great w same settings I had for Anycubic. I tried elegoo but it wasn't cooperating so I sent it back
