Support for Anycubic Photon? #1

Closed McNugget6750 closed 2 years ago

McNugget6750 commented 2 years ago

This is an amazing project! While you're at Anycubic models, would the (original) Photon be easy to implement? It's not a mono but the resolution should still be plenty for all hobby grade boards.

Hey,

Happy to see interest in this project :)

The original photon (.pws file format) has a slightly different image encoding to the later printer models. I don't think it would be too challenging to implement, but will take me a bit to put together. I'll take a look next weekend if I have a chance, otherwise feel free to bump this thread to remind me.

One thing I may need help with is validation of some test files to be sure that the printer can parse them and that they display appropriately, but I'll drop them here if/when that's needed.

@McNugget6750 I'm excited to announce that photonic-etcher now supports .pws file export. You should see the option if you download the latest offline version (1.1.0), or refresh the website

Andrew-Dickinson commented 2 years ago

Please let me know if the files work on your printer, I only have the one printer to test with

Closing this for now, since this was shipped with the 1.1.0 release. Please open an issue if you encounter any challenges when using the newly added printer options.
