Upgrade your firmware

Make sure both your photon and your chitubox have the latest firmware updates and it should recognize the files

Also change the printer from default to the anycubic.

Side question I changed the dimensions of the printer to match the photon but my yoda test print, whilst looking fine on app, came out rather weird and warped. I assume I have the x y z settings wrong. The application sets them up bizzarley as well can anyone confirm the x y z setting needed in chitubox for the photon

Wayne Mitchell how do I update the printer?

Just open the file in photon workshop and resave it as pws, problem solved

What photon printer are you using? I am using the photon zero and I have to use Chitubox for all my supports and then save as STL then open in photon workshop to slice it into a .pw0 file because Chitubox doesn’t currently support the zero yet that I am aware.

Marcel Hansen tried it did not work.

Chris Peck I have the anycubic photon

John Valdes there are some YouTube videos online, pretty simple though. Go to anycubic website and find your printer. At the bottom of the page there are firmware updates. Load the latest version on your thumb drive and move it to the printer. Find that file and select it to print. That should start the update

You can just print. As long as there is no leftover cured resin

^^^^ what they said

You'll want to make sure that there are no left over bits from the previous print.

Thanks

The most I’ve done between cleaning the vat is about a dozen prints

I empty and filter my vat resin after every print, not necessary but it gives me piece of mind

If nothing failed, go for it. If something failed, there's a solid chance there is cured resin somewhere in the vat, thus cleaning time.

As long as nothing has failed, I keep going, but I also don't let the vat sit with resin in it for more than a day with out being used, otherwise I clean it out.

I take a quick swish of the resin, to make sure there's nothing hard in there to crack the glass, then hit print.

Phez Darryn Stanmore I have left resin in the vat for a week I added some fresh I gave it a steer and printed no problems

Panagiotis , I'm just paranoid after doing that, and none of my prints working until I cleaned it all out, probably didn't stir it Up properly, lol

This is to extreme but I have left it for a week no problems

It's either a leveling issue or not enough time on the Base layer. Relevel the build plate and increase Base exposure by 5 seconds and try again. Repeat until perfect prints.

Also if it’s your first time, the plate may not be down far enough when you set the Z, the paper needs to be more snug than you think...

Brendan Wood where can increase the base exposure?

John Valdes what program are you using to slice?

Anders Scot Hudson I will tried it again. Had it tight that paper was real tight

I have both chitubox and the anycubic one. I was using the anycubic one.

Well first of all I recommend not using the anycubic one. Then in Chitubox, on the right hand of the screen there is a button for Settings. In the middle of the Settings window, there is a Print tab. You can change the numbers in there and press the En ter key to save. If you haven't used Chitubox yet then the numbers might be a little low by default. That was my experience. When doing test prints to find your curing time you can increase the Exposure Time by 1 second and Bottom Exposure Time by 5 seconds to dial it in.

I like this town as my test piece to figure out a resin's times

Brendan Wood will try it. I read about sanding the bed plate.

John Valdes i've never done that so I can't recommend.

John Valdes beware of destructive hardware modifications. Only do that if 1) you have exhausted all other possibilities [including releveling dozens of times if necessary] and 2) have visually confirmed with a steel ruler and a light source that your build plate is not flat.
