I was all set to pull the trigger on the photon, but I hear they switched out the chitubox motherboard and now I have to use anycubic's proprietary slicer software, which apparently is terrible. Is this true? I cant use chitubox? Has a fix been developed?
A lot of people in this group have become very anti-fauxton, when it seemed the original was the better choice. Is that because they're upset they have to re-slice all their STLs? As a brand new user, should this motherboard change bother me?
So due to the anycubic backlash, I'm now looking at the Mars, but I'm having trouble changing my bias because I've spent so long researching the photon which used to get better reviews. Is the mars now better than the fauxton, or at least comparable? I dont love how the whole cover pulls off and how the USB port is on the back for some reason. But I can look past it, if it's the more reliable easy to use machine with better software compatibility.
The mars is $20 more than the photon on amazon.ca right now. My understanding is that usually the mars is cheaper. But both prices are good right now on sale ($339 cdn vs $359 cdn for the Mars).
So from those who have used/owned both, which way should I go? Is there anything else I should consider? Is the community support for the mars comparable to the photon? I'd like to pull the trigger during this sale which I'm guessing will end after cyber Monday.
Thanks in advance.
