Anycubic Photon Mono X does not recognize pwx files

Timo Paschke 2021-3-29 8019

Hi there,

I just got my new Anycubic Photon Mono X and tried to print some files I sliced with Chitubox, since it worked great with my Mono SE. Unfortunately, it seems that my Mono X fails to load the pwx-files coming out of Chitubox. I figured that it must be due to the different file format (*.pwx instead of *.pwmx).


I used the search function of this board and failed to find any posts regarding this issue. Do you have a patch/workaround for that?


Best regards,

Timo


PS: I tried converting the pwx-file with UVtools, but the printer displays the error message that the file contains invalid printing parameters.

    have you tried to use the *.photon format instead?

    Just got my Mono X and I'm having the same problem, and also can't find the solution anymhere. Renaming (sic) or converting the .pwx to .pwmx does not work. I'm using the Lychee Slicer.
    Did you figure out the issue?

    For anyone else having this issue with a new Mono X.  Update your firmware from this sight and you should be able to open the files.  Or at least it worked for me.
