Lift speeds are being lost upon slicing


#1

I’m not sure if I’m missing a setting somewhere, but after slicing a file, I reopen it with both FormWare and Chitubox (which I’m attempting to transition from) and my lifting distances and lifting speeds are all gone.

Here’s my print profile and a sliced job with properties shown:

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

That is correct behaviour.
The .photon and .cbddlp formats don’t have these ‘print parameters’ in the first versions of their file formats.
I think it was programmed into the printer back in 2018/2019.

The second file version has these parameters. (.photon V2, and .cbddlp V2)
Probably chitubox fills in the blanks with some presets… but they are not in the file format.

for reference here the parameters this affects.
I couldn’t tell you which parameters are used by which firmware version.

os.Write(bottomLiftDistance);
os.Write(bottomLiftSpeed);
os.Write(liftingDistance);
os.Write(liftingSpeed);
os.Write(retractSpeed);
os.Write(volumeMl);
os.Write(weightG);
os.Write(costDollars);
os.Write(bottomLightOffDelay);
os.Write(lightOffDelay);
os.Write(bottomLayerCount);

Great information, I switched to .cbddlp V2 and everything is as it should be.

Thank You
