Dear Makers,
#############################
"I don't read long posts-'TL;DR'-Edition":
I got myself Simon Jackson 's Dual Z Upgrade pack (
https://jacksonproducts.net/
) and I am genuinly impressed with the improvement!
My first 2 Prints where badly sliced, I want to show them anyway to demonstrate the new Printing quality. So don't judge the DUal Z on the Screwed up Models, but on the layers they have.
Prints where Made with Monocure Grey on 0,05mm, which usually was my "Rough" resolution. When I wanted a nice even finish I printed on 0,2mm, where lines where still visible but neglegtible.
To demonstrate *That* I will post a comparison of a 0.05 mm print pre- and Post Upgrade later. Stay tuned.

"Heck, NOW I wanna know the full story-Edition":
I don't wanna lie. The upgrade ain't cheap and put a little hole in my hobby pocket. Hence, I ordered it drunk, for then I have the lowest treshold for spending money on things I like or are interested in. My wife shall never discover that little trick of mine...
I recieved it fairly quick, *perfectly* packed! Not even the worst and/or most stupid mailman could have screwed that parcel up. Kudos, Simon.
I installed it last weekend, using Simon's provided video. I am by far not gifted when it comes to craftworks and the like. Hence I may have put a little nigget in my pants when I started disassembling my printer which I definitively could NOT afford to rebuf, would I mess it up somehow. Buuut: I made it. Hence, i am very confident to say, *Everybody* can! Just saying.
Back to topic:
Yesterday I found the time to slice a little Buddha and a Coin. I sliced the Buddha like an idiot, meaning: I hollowed it out in Meshmixer (which's Hollowing-function I prefer to ChiTu Box's) with 1-1.5 mm wall thickness only to find out later that the STL was bloody huge. I wanted a small, little, tiney Buddhy to life his peacefull live on me Computer's monitor. So I shrinked the buddha in ChiTu Slicer, which inevitable also shrinked my 1 mm Wall thickness to something around 0.1-0.2 mm. I don't know how I could not make that connection at the time. Spoiler Alert, the Budda didnt work too well.
However, on the pictures you maybe see that the Buddha literally is thinner than a sheet of paper. Yet (mostly) printed. My vanilla Photon wouldn't have been able to do that.
Furthermore, you will see on the pictures that there are NO visible Printing lines. Not to the human Eye, even very hard if magnified with the cell phone camera.
I also hat a slight error in the coin, I can not explain yet. I will print both again this weekend with a better prepared file...
I am very Impressen and I wholeheartedly recommend this Upgrade to every user of the Original Photon (V1).
Pics for comparing old 0.5 resolution to new 0.5 resolution will follow soon (aint got my old print with me right now).
Kind regards
Michael
