I just got this from a fella that never got to use this much and I'm having trouble with it. The wash feature works just fine but the cure is out of whack. The turntable will stutter in place when I try to use it but the lights work fine. Any help would be appreciated as its a beast of a machine and I want to use it.

Is there any way to set the z=0 without pressing that button? My display has some offset which makes it almost impossible to press. Anycubic photon mono x2

I've been trying to print this bone for a client for some days and it's driving me crazy.

I am printing Resione G217 on my Anycubic P1 using the manufacturer's recommended settings, and I keep having these lamination problems. I tried increasing supports, reducing lift speeds, increasing off time, but nothing seems to help.

What is the main cause of this problem? What setting should I try changing to remove this issue?

Any idea why this resin print failed so catastrophically? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a second opinion on my Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro.
I recently had a print stop with a “residue detected” warning. After using vat cleaning and taking everything apart, I found that there had been resin under the vat area. Luckily I had a screen protector installed.
However, after cleaning everything, I noticed what looks like a small crack/chip in the actual LCD/glass area, not just the screen protector. The area also looks slightly grey/cloudy. I don’t think it’s just leftover resin, but I’m not 100% sure.
I ran an exposure test afterwards and the test pattern still appears normally. The screen seems to light up correctly and the printer still works from the menu.
My questions are:

Is it safe to keep printing if the exposure test still looks fine?

Or should I stop using the printer and replace the LCD/screen?

Could this crack get worse or allow resin to get into the screen?

Has anyone continued printing with a small chip/crack like this, or is that a bad idea?

I’m mainly printing tabletop miniatures, and I’m worried that a tiny cured resin piece or brittle failed support caused pressure on the film/screen.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

So im trying to fix someone's mono 4 but I and the client do t have the vat screws would anyone know where I could source some? Thanks in advance

After a very busy period, I finally managed to continue testing the Anycubic Photon P1.

This test was not sent by Anycubic. It is part of my personal work within the P1 Performance Lab — Track B, where I am trying to better understand the real performance limits of the Photon P1 under different printing conditions.

In this test, I compared the peel force behavior between two different Photon P1 units:

• Printer 1: equipped with nFEP film
• Printer 2: equipped with ACF film

The goal was to check whether using ACF can further improve the P1’s performance, especially in terms of:

• reducing peel force;
• improving print reliability;
• potentially reducing the number of supports;
• potentially reducing support size or contact density.

Test setup

I created a test file with eight hollow cubes, each measuring 25 mm per side.

The cubes were divided into two groups:

• 4 cubes with vent holes, to reduce the suction effect;
• 4 cubes without vent holes, intentionally left closed to generate a suction cup effect.

All cubes were supported using very small supports, with a 0.25 mm contact point.

For each group, the support spacing was set with different “distance in model” values:

• 1.5 mm
• 2.0 mm
• 3.0 mm
• 3.5 mm

The exact same file was then printed on both Photon P1 units:

• one with nFEP;
• one with ACF.

Results

With the ACF-equipped Photon P1, the printer successfully completed three cubes in the vented group.

With the nFEP-equipped Photon P1, only two cubes were successfully printed in the same group.

For the cubes designed to create a stronger suction cup effect, both printers managed to print only two cubes.

Based on this test, the ACF film appears to reduce peel force enough to allow the third cube to print successfully, specifically the one with 3.0 mm support spacing.

Important note

Please do not judge this test based on the aesthetic quality of the cubes.

I am fully aware that printing large flat surfaces parallel to the LCD is not standard best practice. In this case, that was intentional.

The purpose of the test was not to produce perfect cubes, but to create a controlled and demanding condition to compare the peel force performance between ACF and nFEP on the Photon P1.

Surface quality observation

I am also including a comparison between the cubes printed with ACF and nFEP.

Even though the tested surface is vertical, the ACF print does not show any particularly visible marks, lines, or surface artifacts that are often attributed to ACF film.

So, at least in this specific test, ACF seems to offer a measurable advantage in reducing peel force without introducing obvious surface quality issues.

Of course, this is not a final conclusion, but the result is interesting and definitely worth further testing.

I would be curious to hear from others using ACF or nFEP on the P1: have you noticed any measurable difference in support reliability, peel force, or surface quality?

Newbie question:

I have a Mono M7. I use Lychee Slicer. The resin temperature is about 30°C. At this time, I use Anycubic Standard V2 Resin, HD Grey. The machine is brand new. software version : 4.0.6.4

I tried to do some test calibrations to fine-tune my print, but nothing prints. I mean nothing at all: nothing on the plate, but also nothing on the VAT.

I did a "cleaning sequence," and that worked.
I also checked the leveling; even though it is supposed to be OK from the manufacturer, it seemed OK.
I performed the three tests: in the first one, the whole screen turned purple; in the second, the screen was purple with a black rectangle in the middle; and in the third one, I saw the Anycubic logo with those small rectangles

Fun fact: I did achieve printing those test prints twice, but I don't know why it only worked two times.

Does anybody have a clue about what I'm missing?

I just setup my new mono m7 max. Connecting to it and sending print orders seems to work fine, but I can’t seem to view the camera or resin/printing details. Couldn’t figure out how to fix it.

At first I thought it was a signal issue because I had it inside a grow tent, but even after taking it out nothing has changed. Tried the latest version of photon workshop on Mac and windows, same issue. All devices are on the same network at home.

Hi everyone, I'm facing a weird issue with my Anycubic Photon Mono 4 and I could really use some help.

The Problem: Randomly in the middle of a print, instead of printing normally, it creates these flat, cured plates/pancakes of resin inside the support structure, and then it continues printing perfectly fine afterwards.

In the attached picture, this was a batch of 6 miniatures. The other 5 printed flawlessly, and this specific one also finished, but I only noticed this huge solid chunk of resin hidden inside the support structure after cleaning it up.

My Setup & Settings:

Printer: Anycubic Photon Mono 4

Resin: Anycubic ABS-Like Pro 3 (Shaken for 1 minute, rested for 10 minutes to avoid bubbles).

Temperature: Ambient is 27°C (80°F), but I am also using the Anycubic Air Pure & Heat inside the enclosure to keep it stable and warm.

Slicer/Profile: Since the Photon Workshop software doesn't have a built-in profile for the ABS-Like Pro 3 yet, I am currently using my old settings for the ABS-Like Pro 2.

Could the Pro 2 settings be causing this (maybe exposure time or lift speed)? Or is this a corrupted sliced file / USB stick issue?

Any advice on exposure times for the Pro 3 or what else to check would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,

Could you please let me know if such light uniformity is ok (photos are made with Checkered sheet and a blank paper sheet) or it is a defect: the circle in the screen center

ho una piccola scalfitura sullo schermo lcd della mia anycubic photon m7, potrebbe causare problemi alla stampa? grazie
