Topic: ChiTuBox Slicing software

http://soliforum.com/i/?7SlHr4Q.jpg


After using this days exhaustively this software I must say that I am happy with it.
I made a little article, I hope can be usefull for someone,

10 reasons to use ChiTuBox with your resin printer (SLA / DLP)

Re: ChiTuBox Slicing software

You may want to go back and have an English speaker proof read and correct that article for you. Your translation uses "Filleting" instead of "Slicing". Since the term Filleting is not used in SLA printing people are going to be asking you what the term means.

Now my question and I did not see it covered. But does it allow you to change the exposure time for the first layer and the layers after? Does it allow you to store profiles for various resin colors and types since each color requires different exposure times?

The reason I ask is at this time being a Wanhao D7 user I have to use their software to generate supports but then slice and run the printer using NanoDLP.

Chitubox looks good but it appears to be made more towards the Photon and not many other printers.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.

Re: ChiTuBox Slicing software

I downloaded the software but it doesn't appear to support a laser based SLA printer.  It only supports Masked LCD or DLP printers so far.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.

Hello Carl,

First of all, sorry for my english, indeed I made this article in spanish for my blog (my native language) and later translated to english, so I bet is possible this and other mistakes can appears (will fix what you told me).

About your questions, yes, allows to change this parameters, just go to settings->print and you will see "Exposure Time" and "Bottom Exposure Time".

About if this software is build around the Photon, this is not true at all, you have different profiles of printers, so you only need select yours and will preload a basic configuration for it. Later you can modify or clone profiles with different parameters. For example, it supports Wanhao D7 and D8. And if you select Wanhao even appears more parameters for configure that if your profile is a Photon (I upload here some screenshots here for you can see differences).

Just I made my article based on my experience with the software, and from my side is a good tool for work with it.
I hope this can help you, best regards!

Re: ChiTuBox Slicing software

It's  a good all round bit of software for dlp/sla but still has a few bugs, particularly with supports.
Sometimes it just plain refuses to add supports manually in certain areas.
For that reason, I still use B9 Creator for support work. Much more reliable.

Hello!

I not had issues and my printings goes nice with ChiTuBox.
By the way, will take a look to the B9 Creator.
