So, I decided to finally give PrusaSlicer a try, everyone seems to rave about the auto supports, but am finding that the support settings I have used without fail in Chitu are not working in PS. Did you have to make any changes to your support settings when you made the switch?

Edit: Cleary 0.12 on Chitu(Grey) is bigger than 0.15 in Prusa Slicer (blue)

Hey Nick , does Prusa slicer have an auto-orient feature?

So PrusaSlicer. I installed it. I have a regular Photon but not sure what to do settings wise with the Prusa software. Anyone got any tips? Looking forward to the Prusa supports as I think 90% of all my printing issues come from poor support placement.

Hello everyone! I'm an old FDM-Veteran learning about how (M)SLA printing works, and I must say it's quite a challenge and a hell of a messy process.. I have read the FAQ in full and already learned quite a few things, so thanks for that!

Right now I'm fighting with getting my prints to stick to the build platform. I have managed to do some prints and I do know to avoid cross sections of my print that are bigger than the bottom layers to always keep the suction forces lower than that of the bottom layers (via model rotation or hollowing it out), but there's still things I do not fully grasp, such as the relation of normal vs bottom layer exposure times (how many bottom layers are recommended and how long should the exposure time be?) and if bottom layers should rather be one huge flat slab or rather have some holes inbetweeen to reduce suction forces.

Also, I do kinda wonder why there are so few settings you can play with in regards to layer thickness and/or exposure times. F.ex. I'm really missing variable layer height such as from the Prusa Slicer (which does SLA now, too, but not for the Photon!) or the option to make the bottom layers (also the bottom supports) thicker than the rest to improve stickyness and/or speed up printing. It just seems utterly stupid and pointless to also print the bottom layers in superfine 0.025mm resolution, especially when they're set to 60 seconds exposure...

So this has been bugging me for a few months now, and I finally had to make a recording to see what I'm doing wrong. I've edited it to time-lapse and keep it short & sweet.

I print with a Photon and have always gone through the troubles of building my own supports in Chitubox, but every few days I see people comment on how PrusaSlicer is easy-mode for supports. I just don't see it.

In the recording, I walk through the steps of adding auto-supports in Prusa, slicing in Chitu and then running the whole thing through the Photon File Validator. Look at the number of errors, after cleanup! I realize that some additional supports by hand is to be expected, but that's more than a few.

This happens for me with every detailed file, in every orientation, every time. What am I missing? Are my settings off? Am I missing a step? Or are people just not running the file validator after slicing? Any help would be appreciated.

Quick question about hollow. When you hollow your prints in chitubox do you also add the support in chitubox or does prusa slicer also add the inside of the hollowed print?

How do you setup Prusa slicer for the photon?

Have some chit projects that I've manually supported, sliced, and printed but now want some variety in size, will any of the programs (chit, Prusa, photon etc) let me scale them up/down without losing the supports I already placed? Thanks!

Hello, i need some help why my prints failed. I had a lot of successfull prints, but last 3 all ended in the same way. Seems like the model in some places doesnt stick to support. Recently i upgraded chitubox to 1.6.2 and subsequently to 1.6.3. Supports are autogenerated using prusaslicer and sliced with AA level 4 and I have leveled plate before last two prints. I have non original branded usb and use Anycubic resin.

Just finished printing these guys. Have a weird artifact at the same height across all 3 models. Middle model the support failed. Checked the original model and doesn't show anything. Possible lcd failure? Machine is only a couple weeks old. Supported in prusa and sliced in chitubox. Any ideas?
