When I started with the Photon a couple of months ago I had problems with adhesion to the plate, after relevelling I finally tried tweaking the FEP film a little tighter, about 1/8 turn and that did the trick, giving a slightly higher tone when tapped. I bought a 14w reptile tank heater pad off Ebay, sat the Photon on it in a tray and have room for a bottle of resin also. Keeps the machine reasonably warm. At only 14w I leave it on permanently. My better half has just made me a slip over cover from an old fleece. Only a very occasional problem now which is normally my fault. Don't rely on the auto support placement. Thanks to everyone who helped me in the past.

I have just received my Anycubic Photon and having read this thread I now need the peripherals, so I have a couple of questions. For a uv light box do the led nail curing lamps work? They all seem to have infrared sensors and I am not sure if this will work with a piece of plastic. I would be grateful for suggestions, I work in 3mm so nothing large is needed. Is it feasible to use the foam packaging that the machine came in to form an insulating shield around the back and sides of the printer to retain heat, my modelling room isn't too warm at this time of year. Thanks to everyone who has posted such a wealth of information on here and also Ian Maccormac for his demos on the Gauge O Guild exhibition
