    Dennys.. just want to say thank you again for your video. I just got my Photon Mono 4k and I think I watched your video over 5 times already. It has taught me how to use the RERF feature (despite the firmware bug) and I even went on to create my own RERF file. It is certainly a very interesting learning experience. Hopefully, I would be able to dial in the resin exposure and print models as detailed as yours are in time to come. Cheers.

      1. You could try to split open the old fep plastic gasket, so you can just replace the fep.

    from looking at part 2, seems like you got a pre-release model, with better exposure consistency but old/simpler sanded buildplate(not the fancy checkered sandblasted surface). the newer ones seem to have light gridding/cold spot issues being common, though with the fancier build plate somehow

    what sucks about this photon mono 4k is the FEP has to be there glued in frame FEP no changing your own FEP. you need that screen guard and gasket for when the glue fails and leaks resin all over the screen.

    Dennys, just got my printer. Something is very confusing to me. Is there already a screenprotector on the lcd? Because i also see it on your video, you also have a foil that is over the screen, just like as there is a screen protector underneath. It also came with an exta one in the box. should i also install that, or is it really a spare piece?

    • @wangdennys
      @wangdennys  3 роки тому +2

      That foil over the screen is to protect during shipping.

    How do you create a custom refr test? Or is it possible to run multiple parts with different exposure settings at the same time? And if so, what software/ how would you program it? I just got the mono 4k a few days ago.

    • @wangdennys
      @wangdennys  2 роки тому +2

      If you see in my video
      They have a grid that is build in the printer firmware.
      You need to place your object inside those grid.
      So several dry print like in the video to check the placement is correct might be needed.
      Set the starting exposure in photon workshop, it will automatically have 0.4s increments.
      Then slice the file and name it R_E_R_F.
      The printer will automatically read it as multiple exposure rerf file

    I wait after the bottom layers and then I use a cronometer and the longest part was about 15 seconds long...
    And the same happened with another rerf based on yours I found in internet...
    Everything fine with a dry print with a normal file...
    And in your video, the longest part is on for more than those 3,8 seconds it is supposed to be...
    Am I wrong????

      That is weird for sure.
      Could be anycubic did some changes to the firmware.
      Or maybe try delete the file from the usb stick and copy a new one.

      @@wangdennys but in your video, in your dry print, the 8th figure is proyected for eleven seconds, from 10:08 to 10:19 aproximately... that is much more than the supposed exposition time...
      You can check it in the video (min. 10:08)... it looks like the rerf method is not working properly on mono 4k

    I'm still cautious about Resin. I'm worried it will kill me slowly, haha

    Must be nice to get the correct machine sent to you and not have to wait an additional week just to have to wait even more for them to send a shipping label to you to get the wrong machine back then wait more for them to get that and have to wait again for them to ship the correct machine out to you. I don’t think I’ll be dealing with anycubic anymore after all this.

    Do you know that Anycubic doesn't deliver components anymore after they stop producing the machines? I have an Anycubic Predator for less than 3 years and after the touch screen has been broken I have to throw away the printer. Anycubic doesn´t realize that they are digging their own grave with this policy. Never an Anycubic to me.

      with this mono 4K thay used an proprietary FEP design so we can’t use generic FEP, this printer is not worth it.
