Anycubic Photon P1 Not working out of the box
The Issue: My brand new printer is failing to start any prints. It passes the initial calibration, but as soon as I initiate a print, it enters an infinite failure loop.
What Happens:
- Heating Failure: During the heat-up phase, the temperature struggles to reach the target (e.g., stops at 24.98°C and fluctuates). It never actually starts the print.
- UI Unresponsive: If I click "Skip," the screen changes, but the printer does nothing.
- System Lock: If I cancel and try to "Home" the printer, it refuses to move.
- Calibration Loop: Any subsequent attempts to print result in the printer getting stuck on the "Movement Calibration" phase indefinitely.
- Hard Reset Required: The only way to regain control is to power cycle the machine.
Troubleshooting Already Attempted:
- Tried printing multiple different files.
- Attempted a firmware rollback to a previous version.
- Confirmed the issue persists across different files/USB sticks.
Notes:
- This is a brand new machine.
- I have not opened the printer housing yet.

Does anyone recognize this specific error sequence or have suggestions on what might be causing the heater/motion lockup?
