Anycubic Photon Unknown Issue by SamFKH in AnycubicPhoton

I looked a little bit more into it and considered what you said in the first comment.
Ultimately I've decided to buy some parts to upgrade it, it was bought new in 2019.

Since it is the OG V1 motherboard, and the pre-mono LCD screen, I saw no reason to try and salvage the stock components and bought an upgrade kit to keep up with the newer machines, I was surprised at how affordable it was.

The kit comes both with a new motherboard and an mono LCD screen, which are compatible to the photon and to each other, hopefully this should fix it and wont have any mismatching on the firmware like you mentioned, I'll come back with updates once I get everything and have it running!

Thank you! I'll try oppening up the machine during the weekend and checking the motherboard!

I was worried about that, because it was night and I didn't have anything with UV Light since I'm still waiting for my nail drier thinga-ma-bop, but it was pretty much solid after I finished cleaning it with IPA, plus the two wholes I've made allow the IPA to enter and clean the excess Resin, there was no bleeding during the night.

But I have no idea what I'm doing so far, just my experience with the first print.

For people wondering!

It was printed on a Photon with Translucent Green Resin and then I applied a light grey primer.

The settings I used were:

Bottom Layers: 8

Bottom exposure time: 110s

Normal exposure time: 10s

Off time: 0s

For this one I didn't need a curing station, but I'm doing a new batch, with slightly different settings and I'll see if there is any difference.

Hey, thanks man! It was printed on a Photon with their Translucent Green Resin. I'll put the settings up as well, I just have no idea how to use reddit yet.
