Group & Photon Newb here.
Not a printing or search bar newb but I do need some definitions and clarity. This post will sprawl a bit. Help here would be much appreciated.
1. What is ChituHB? Is that different from Chitubox? Mostly confused on the HB part.
2 a. What is the most recent firmware that networking and High Contrast works? I saw a 14week old comment on the post announcing network capability that said that it works on 4.2.17 (i just got my printer Friday and have successfully printed the test lattice and a mini (sliced on Chitu & I print almost exclusively with Elegoo) but I haven't checked my FW number. I wanted to ask since the OP (
Vinicius Silva
) says it doesn't work on 4.2.13 (edited 07 Jun 2019) , an older version. This question is partially informed by my next question (3).
b. Is there an advantage of the Phonster network print manager tool over the Chitubox one?
3. Advice here seems to be "If it ain't broke don't fix it" when it comes to updating firmware. Is that advice in regards to official firmware (an advice I'd take any day of the week) or does it include the custom firmware found here? The fact that this advice is echoed by anycubic also confuses me.
4. Antialiasing - the official AC video says don't upgrade if you are satisfied with your prints.
?
I dunno 'bout the rest of y'all but why and how TF would I know that my prints could be better than they are. I used to think the soggy Benchy I printed years ago on a Printrbot was the pinnacle of FDM printing. Again, mostly I don't understand the manufacturers hesitation.
5. I personally find the FEP snap-back sound somewhat comforting as it assures me that the layer has stuck to the plate without me waiting 4 hours to see or pressing pause and risking a layer line. I know, not a question.
6. I purchased the Physics Anonymous z plate but haven't installed yet. After printing the test lattice I noticed the z lines are more pronounced than on my Sparkmaker and that is just wild. On paper the Photon shouldn't have this issue based simply on material (metal vs plastic Z base.) But I assume the issue is also that the mass on the Z of the Photon is much greater. Yeah, I know, again not a question.
7. Any other non-basic things I should know?
Thanks!
