I seem to be limited .pws and .photons files. .photon files freeze up my printer, whether sliced by chitubox or photonworkshop. (I'm on 5.0.2 firmware with a Fauxton)

That's unfortunate enough and I'll get in touch with support to see if it's a hardware issue or what, but in the meantime, can anyone tell me if the Photon Validator can work with .pws or .photons files? I saw on an old reddit post that it didn't then. If not, is there an alternative?

Please Help!

Looked through the known issues and FAQ and couldn't find an answer. Posted my problem previously here on on reddit without much luck, but I'm hoping someone with experience catches this post.

I have a Photon Upgraded. I successfully got the test cube to print on my 3rd try. However, the instructions seemed to be for the original photon, as it was referring to .photon files, but my printer was only seeing .pws files on the stick. Also, I couldn't seem to get Photon Workshop or ChituBox to give me .pws files, only .photon, but I read there was a firmware upgrade to be able to use the .photon format.

I downloaded the firmware upgrade, and put the 2 .bin files on a USB stick. Put that in the machine and "printed" the main one. Everything SEEMED ok. The system reset and the information screen indicated the new firmware editions, and neither file would now show from the print screen.

Here's where the problem happened. After this, when I plug in a USB stick with a file of either print format (.photon, .pws), and go to the print menu, it freezes up. I can't select a file to print or back out.

The menus work OK when there is no USB device detected, but I've tried 3 different sticks, including the one included with the machine, and can't get it to work. I can see the files on two (which leads to a freeze up), but one doesn't even seem to be recognized (and that's the usb stick with a recognizable brand).

I'm a new user... been trying to find time to set stuff up this week. First couple of tests failed (I didn't get the bed leveled right), but got the test cube to print successfully today.

After that, I thought it was time to try printing something fun. After giving myself a few headaches trying to understand the different slicers I've seen recommended, I hit a wall, as neither chitubox nor photonworkshop would export to the .pws format my photon was demanding.

Some more searching, and I learned there was new firmware, so I tried to update that. It seemed to apply... I "printed" the firmware file and the printer cycled.

However, now, when I select the print menu from the home screen, the UI becomes unresponsive. The Tools and Settings menu seem to work fine, it's only the print menu that freezes the UI.

I tried searching google, this group, and reddit, with no luck. Any ideas?

I've tried using a different usb stick and reformatting one to only have one file with no special characters in the name. I can see the file through the Print menu, but can't select it or back out to the home screen. I cannot see the firmware files on either USB anymore in the photon UI.

Thanks for any help!
