So Im testing out a new printer...

[JMN]

Thx ! The models were printed in Nextdent peach model. The pics of the implant provisional was a separate print using the MFH C&B, then “tweaked” with some GC pink stain& Opti- glaze

How long do you expect the temp implant to last? Or what did you tell the Dentist it lasts?

 

[LarryRDC]

To my understanding,The MFH can used as a long term temporary for standard C&B for up to three units. (Don’t have an answer for “long term”, lol) obviously this is not your standard C&B design as its designed for strength...At this point I make the sure the doc is aware that this is a temp provisional, and offer the esthetic stain/glaze for an extra charge. The temp is phase 1 for ZI hybrid cases and just serves as verification of fit, bite and patient acceptance of esthetics. They usually wear for a couple of weeks or a month. Then I proceed wit the ZI final. I split the invoice in 1/2 in case they don’t come back for final ZI.

Did my first test print with photon s today and the printing did not stick to the plate... I am using ChiTuBox and there were the last two parameters 0. Now I changed them to 1 but I have no idea is it correct as every table mentions only Off time that should be 1. Also I don´t believe it solves the sticking problem.

Phrozen Shuffle, 4 months update... (I'm quite pleased overall)

we've been running this printer for the last four months, three shifts a day (one being overnight),no leveling nor cleaning, just resin top ups... Had very few misprints, mostly due to operator errors I think, I've only cleaned the vat once when someone left the cover open and the ambient light gelled up the leftover resin inside. The print quality ( C&B models mostly ) and accuracy was exceptional for a cheapo unit like this.

A few weeks ago I've noticed the LCD is failing, as small (1-3 mm) random voids started to appear in the prints, accuracy did not suffer. I ordered some replacement screens and a newer light engine which suppose to reduce curing time by 10% and improve printing quality. Ironically the day the shipment arrived the printer went dead right after finishing a print.

I bought a new printer right away to avoid downtime as much as possible, then spent a few nights troubleshooting and upgrading the dead one. Luckily the Phrozen is open, based on a Raspberry Pi running NanoDLP and a custom RAMPS board. A new Rapberry Pi and a few micro SD cards later...it turned out it was only a software issue, preventing it from booting properly

Here's a few pics of the repair process, Pi board giving all sorts of errors:


You need loops to read it


Everything in pieces, new light engine installed...old one in the back


Re-flashing the LCD driver to new screen specs


We should be good for the next eight months now...

I see you very well understand microelectronics, can you will be able to help me, I updated a firmware in my photonS printer recently, now he does not read the USB program was updated incorrectly, I want to update the program for my stm32 processor not through USB and directly via the computer, can you already did something similar?

 

[PCDL]

I was just perusing the latest in this thread, and dammit if my shuffle is doing the same thing, and I too ordered the new ParaLED 2.0 . ... Welp looks like I should check the software on mine if the swap doesnt fix the issue.

will you be available to come set up mine?

I don't own a Photon and I haven't seen one up close yet So apart from general advices, I am afraid I cannot of be much of help

Soon as I'm back to the phrozen north again (currently at my hideout for the next two weeks) I'll post more detailed directions on how to revive dead printers and how replace parts ...

No worries here... dissected it yesterday, loose ribbon wire to the LCD. Im good now and have the ParaLED 2.0 upgrade.

Im gonna take the old LED array and make a new curing light. If the power isnt great for full on cure, it will be a badass tacking light for composite work.
