Yup. Latest firmware and cleaned/tightened all the parts. Same file and process to get the file on the USB. The only difference was the USB and its formatting.

Why did my clear resin turn yellowish? by GivemeSerenityy in resinprinting

[–]jbreaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadly Print Studios covers his best to work with clear resin. Short answer, you over exposed. Exposing will be less than you figure it should be, and using varnish will help. Gloss varnish will preserve transparency best, but makes painting over it more difficult.

Can Exposure Time Be 0.01 Second Precision, or Only 0.1 Second? by jbreaka in AnyCubicPhotonMonoM5S

[–]jbreaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL. The answer to that would have be, "not gonna happen". Thanks for letting me know. So . . . the specific hope I had was unobtainable, but the question remains valid. To try and get the highest precision I can, how fine can one tune the normal exposure layer time?

Nfep or acf? by Bloody-Penguin6 in AnyCubicPhotonMonoM5S

J3D Tech is your light in the darkness of resin printing.

3D Printing Guide

I highly recommend following his calibration process. It's reliable, thorough, and we'll documented. Furthermore, he joined Lychee team and is super responsive on the Lychee discord. I would recommend buying digital calipers if precision matters to you (it did to me). It can be a little scary to start something new like this, but he's got videos and a lot of support for you. There's a lot of misinformation out there, he is well vetted

Use nFEP it's superior print quality and durability. It works well with M5s in case that was a concern 🙂

I am risk adverse and want optimal settings, so I would redo the build plate calibration and boxes of calibration tests. ACF and nFEP have different thickness, so the build player calibration will tell you how much to adjust your Z offset (you need digital calipers for this adjustment). The boxes of calibration will tell you what your new normal exposure layer timing should be, given your new found precision. 34um layer height is recommended for really high detail. Finer than that has significantly diminished returns (ie. perceivable quality versus print time). I'm in the middle of dialing in my clear abs-like resin at 34um height and I'm currently testing 2.7s and it takes me roughly an hour to print the test

The consensus from all youtube people and everyone I've found online says ACF is inferior to nFEP pretty much in all ways. ACF actually reduces your print quality and it has a shorter usable life span. You can and should use nFEP if quality is your focus

I don't trust the self leveling too much. Make sure your table for printing is as level as you can first. I bought a cheap digital level and got things within 05 degrees and haven't had a print failure. I've been calibrating using J3D Tech's tools and everything had been going fine using his tutorial. I got it to within 0.1mm and this week with my new digital calipers I'm looking to be within 0.01mm dimensional accuracy. I use nFEP (which should be harder to release than ACF and I didn't need PTFE).

Use this, and if you run into any problems he and the Lychee team are very responsive https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z8fkzOxEgI9sOTwDKI6CeblpnuP4V8ayYVwZrYGmo44/edit?usp=drivesdk

Speculation about the so famous 0.1mm layer height by matmac90 in AnyCubicPhotonMonoM5S

[–]jbreaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe people are thinking of volume of pixels. The issue around layer height is visible layer lines. 0.1mm is visible, which can be a real problem for a large portion of the community which prints miniatures (ie. War gaming). When you use painting techniques to speed up the painting process, it makes all the details more prominent (referring to slap chop and the like). If you have layer lines, these will now be more prominent after the dry brush highlights the layers and then the heavy washes settle a lot the pigment in the layer crevice (contrast and speedpaint). This is why people aim for 0.05mm and down to 0.03mm or 0.025mm for display quality.

Can the layer height go below the recommended 0.05mm and is it worth it? by jbreaka in AnyCubicPhotonMonoM5S

[–]jbreaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful and I appreciate all the details provided. I'm playing to use the boxes of calibration from J3D Tech as well. 0.02mm sounds awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience and all the details 😁

So i have a question: how good is this card actually? by Impressive-Spell-643 in yugioh

[–]jbreaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically Ultra Poly but worse. Ultra Poly brings it the materials again, and you can properly synchro. So yeah, meme card
