User questions & answers

Question:	Can the resin shipped with the system be used to print functional parts ( such as electronic enclosures) that will be in direct sunlight post curing
Answer:	It could, but the Resin it comes with is pretty brittle
Question:	Has anyone had problems with the usb drive? i have tried 6 different drive. i just opened a ticket with them
Answer:	I just received my machine and it was version 2.9.9, the current version is 5.0.2 and updated them to UI 2.6. I used a Sandisk Extreme USB 3.0 64GB to update it went smoothly and was pretty fast. I did reformat the drive fro FAT 32 with Disk Utility on the Mac.
Question:	Given the max work dimension are: 4.53"(L) x 2.56"(W) x 6.49"(H), can a single tray of the resin build a solid block of this max size
Answer:	No. A solid block filling the work area would take almost 1.25 liters of resin. The suggested max amount of resin in the vat is approx 75-100 ml So you would have to add resin 12 times or so in order to build that solid block :-)
Question:	The power supply that came with the printer seems to not be working correctly. What kind of power supply should I purchase to replace it
Answer:	The operating voltage is 110V / 220V.Your power adaptor is not work?You can try it with your computer's adapter first. It is universal.Please contact us,we will give you a replace.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone experience a grind? As if the magnets disconnected when washing after about 30-45 seconds
Answer:	Not with the OEM cleaning tub. I have with the aftermarket impeller I printed for use in a larger tub, but I corrected it by doubling up on the magnet strength on the impeller. You might need to lubricate your OEM impeller with some waterproof lithium grease.
Question:	On the turning plate for UV curing, do you need to remove the brown cover that comes on it or leave it on
Answer:	The brown paper should be removed, it is there to protect the glass (plexiglass?) turning plate during shipping. It is well-adhered, but if you can get under one edge, you should be able to pull it off in one go.
Question:	Can acetone be used as the cleaning liquid in this machine
Answer:	I'm not sure, I only use the elegoo water washable resins, because I don't have to use alchohol to clean my resin prints. And it saves money with not having to buy alcohol for cleaning. From what I read about the tolerance of acetone to plastic... the container is thick enough to tolerate it. But I myself have not tested it.
Question:	Has anyone tried this product with other solutions besides ipa? would mean green cause issues
Answer:	IPA is the best, forget the You Tubers who claim Simple Green and Mean Green are better... there are not. I still have to get rid of some Simple Green I tried that barely removed resin after twice as long as the IPA.

User questions & answers

Question:	Mine did not come with a resin sample. Are there no resin samples being shipped with the Photon anymore
Answer:	The lowest price Photon does not come with sample resin or spare FEP.
Question:	Would you suggest this printer for a first time 3d printer
Answer:	Absolutely, after some research into resin printing and making sure to follow all safety guidelines for resin printing this is an excellent first choice for a first resin 3d printer
Question:	Is this a photon or photon s? will make a big difference to me
Answer:	This is the original Photon, not the Photon S. Difference between the two...Photon S has a dual lead screw for the Z axis while the Photon is single, Photon's outer case is made from metal, Photon S is plastic (door is somewhat flimsy as a result). For the difference in price, you are better off getting the Photon. You can always get the dual-leadscrew conversion kit later on, if you want to. But print quality is no different to the naked eye.
Question:	i was going to get this printer, and saw mention of a dual-leadscrew conversion kit, where might I find that
Answer:	I have yet found a resin to upgrade to the dual screw setup....I would say my most used photon has close to 5000 hours of print time and has not failed. But many print supply places carry the parts to upgrade it

User questions & answers

Question:	What version is the board
Answer:	The newest version of the board is 1.1.5, it does not come with the printer though. Mine came with 1.1.4 which is very similar to the 1.1.3. Creality Sells the 1.1.5 separately right now as the Creality v1.1.5 Silent Main Board. It is $50 bucks and you might find it cheaper but it is a worthwhile upgrade. It has newer stepper drivers that make the stepper motors virtually silent. I can't hear them anymore only the fans now. The board also has thermal runaway enabled and has a boot loader preinstalled so if you wanted to switch to Vanilla Marlin or the TH3D software you could do so very easily. Installing this board and the TH3D software also made adding a BL Touch kit easy.
Question:	Will this printer print abs and petg also
Answer:	From the list of questions and answers on the product page, "Will this printer print abs and petg also? Answer: Yes, but for abs recommend getting a glass bed and an enclosure of some sort. By Cameron Moss on December 25, 2018
Question:	What is the physical footprint of this unit
Answer:	The actual base footprint itself requires a flat 12" x 12" surface, however certain parts such as the display panel overhang requiring a bit more space. A roughly 16" wide by about 20" deep space should be about right, although you will want to make sure both the back and front have an additional few inches to spare as the bed does move back and forth during operation. I mount mine on top of a 16" x 18" patio paver block for support and stability. I place the paver block over some dense foam that is cut about 1" in from the block edge (14" x 16"). This gives the printer a platform that helps contribute mass to absorb vibrations as well as offer a bid of noise reduction cause by sound transmission through the base. Placed a few inches from the back wall it also ensures the printer travel area remains clear. There is also YouTube video on using this technique if interested (not mine but I came across it after I came up with the same idea separately).
Question:	Does it come with any needed software? If so - what kind
Answer:	It does come with a very old version of Cura. The lastest version of Cura is what I am using. Just download it from https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ultimaker-cura-software/list. If all you are doing is downloading models and printing this is all you need. If you want to make your own 3D models that complicates things. There are many, many 3d modeling programs and which one to use is a very personal choice and each takes time to learn to use. Blender is free, Sketch-up is also I think. But there are commercial programs that can cost up to a couple of thousand to use. Zbrush, Studio Max, and others. This is list of most of them: https://all3dp.com/1/best-free-3d-modeling-software-3d-cad-3d-design-software/ Without a better idea what you are wanting to do, this is the best answer in a short space I can give.

User questions & answers

Question:	How far does the resin go? we will use this mainly for printing tabletop miniatures for d&d. so
Answer:	I also got mine for D&D and wargaming miniature printing. The 250ml starting resin lasts quite a bit for that type of work, I've printed over a dozen figures (28mm, D&D 5E 'medium' size rating) and still have just about half the bottle left. The photon slicer doesn't have any options for hollowing a model so larger creatures (ogres, giants, dragons) will consume exponentially more resin as it prints them solid. Manually adding hollow spaces in a third party modelling program would fix that though is a bit of a pain.
Question:	Do you need to have a UV Lamp to cure the finished product after printing
Answer:	Maybe not a lamp, but a larger source of UV light is pretty much required to completely harden the resin. Otherwise the printed part will remain relatively soft and fragile until it cures. I personally bought a cheap $15-20 UV flashlight and cure my prints with it after I clean them off with some rubbing alcohol. But if you already have the printer and need to cure a printed part, a minute or two in direct sunlight works just fine.
Question:	What's the difference between the Orange & Blue glass
Answer:	Recent order came with orange covers. The debate is blue does nothing to protect the print and resin from UV light. Kind of a mute point, as you can simply cover the unit with a bath towel while in use or not in use. Don't cover the air vents though. My printer sits in a window sill, covered with towel, and 3 weeks later, the resin is still the same viscosity and prints phenomenaly on a daily basis. Once you get the machine settings dialed in for your resin/models, it really is a set and forget thing. Clean up is. Or nearly as bad as users claim. It requires such minimal effort, you would have to be lazy as hell, to think resin printing is too messy, or too much work. It does require a solid station for clean up, and curing, to achieve failproof results. Figure you will spend $100-150 extra on these items, after the purchase of printer. These items include, two small sealed cleaning tanks, 91-99% IPA, Ultrasonic cleaner (jewelry cleaner), and some sort of UV curing setup (nail curing stations). Pack of shop paper towels, and some nitrile gloves. All items can be found right here on Amazon.
Question:	Would this unit work well for making minatures for rpgs like dungeon and dragons
Answer:	Yes, this is exactly what I am using the printer for, small board game minis and components. Just be aware that its almost, but not quite plud-and-play. You will need to experiment and tinker a little bit to get everything working like it should. Once you get some good settings and proper supports this printer cant be beat for the price.

Comprised of hundreds of thousands of pixels, each a little rectangle itself, this tech leaves a telltale sign of the edges of these pixels on the print surface. Often barely visible, this effect can be lessened through the use of a digital processing called anti-aliasing, which interpolates between these edges, smoothing the effect out.
• Easy to Operate: Easy to set up, easy to choose printing file and view print progress through an user-friendly 3.5'' full color touch screen. Level the platform by adjusting 4 hex screws — loosen them before dropping the plate, and it will align to the level of the screen.

User questions & answers

Question:	The XY resolution is .075mm in the chart, but it's .045mm in the description, which is it
Answer:	I believe the .045 or .05 is in reference to the "Z" axis resolution. I forget how the "X" &"Y" resolution is calculated, but I believe its a calculation based on the masking LCD resolution.
Question:	will it resume print if loss of power? and also i did not recieve any snippers
Answer:	no you will have to completely start the print over with a complete loss of power. there are no snippers with the printer.
Question:	Anyone tried printing directly on the bed without supports? My print is getting layers in first 1mm squished. Tried leveling the plate. Doesn't help
Answer:	You're getting UV bleed through, since the first layers anchor everything to the plate your BOTTOM LAYERS will have an extended cure time that extra time allows UV to bleed through and cure resin around the open screen. It's not actually "squished" but more or less "Chonky" there is no way of fixing that if you are printing directly onto the plate except sanding it back down
Question:	What's the warranty on the products unit and lcd screen
Answer:	If you don't but it from Creality directly, they won't honor a warranty. I've had this model before and the screen cracks very easily. Went through multiple before I said enough and got a different resin printer.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this unit required to use with the anycubic 3d printers
Answer:	no, it is not required. Just pay attention to the size of the bucket that came with this machine and make sure your 3d printed models are not larger than the bucket. You should be fine if you use any of those small size resin printers like Elegoo Mars, Mars Pro, Mars Pro 2, Phorzen sonic mini.....just to name a few.
Question:	Does the Elegoo Mars Pro build plate hook into this or will it need an adapter
Answer:	No! it does not fit Mars Pro's build plate. The build plate knob and the adjustable bracket come in contact with each other just a bit, but the diameter of the build plate screw is too big for the 2 adapters that come with the Anycubic unit. I will put both of the parts in a vise and reem them out with a drill to widen it enough to accept the build plate screw. Otherwise just remove the print and put it in the basket.
Question:	Can you put the build plate from the anycubic photon mono x in it or do you need to take your work off the build plate and wash it separately
Answer:	I don’t have the mono X but both the Photon and Photon mono SE both fit in along with the build just fine. The hit has an adjustable height bracket to hand the build plates so they are immersible in the IPA capacity of the provided container.
Question:	Mine spins the platform for a half second, stops, then starts constantly beeping. Anyone have this happen
Answer:	there's an IR light in the back, if you don't have the lid on the right way (there's a white square on one side) to trigger that IR sensor it won't work. It's a safety measure.
