365nm Light source for Anycubic photon

[bibekraut]

Anycubic light source uses a 405nm LED (visible range) . There are some printers that uses 365nm light source. It seems the light source for Anycubic can be replaced to 385nm so as allow use of other materials that are photo curable at 385nm. I am looking for such an alternative (light source). Is there any suggestions to guide me on this (light source selection and replacement). Thanks

You might face some problems with the shorter wavelenghts, I'm not sure how the Polarizers and the glass in the LCD screen behave. If they block shorter UV waves or not, but nothing like trying.

Photon uses 4 high power Leds, all you need to do is replicate the PCB or source a dead LED and replace them with similar leds but at 365nm. Powerwise if you keep the same wattage should be the same you will probably don't even need to change the Step Up converter that the original photon comes with.

Keep us posted ;)

After extensive testing for our product (http://labs.getshift.io) we realised that the polariser starts blocking very aggressively below 400nm. We tested down to 365nm and although some of the light got through the cure times were much longer.

thanks for sharing this confirmation, i thougt it was something like that :) No dia segunda-feira, 28 de janeiro de 2019, esseeayen < [email protected]> escreveu:

Hey @esseeayen, your website seems to be gone now. Have you relocated it?
