Topic: anycubic photon upgrade firmware

Hi, first all sorry for my english.

I'm Gerardo from México, i unpacked my first 3d printer it's a anycubic photon (not pothon s) i was watching a several youtube videos for the first config and leveling process for my printer and i find some video talking about upgrading the firmware to get a better quality results in my 3d print models, i read a forum when explain about the 4.2.19 firmware is not estable and not recomended to upgarde and recomend the 4.2.18 insted.

I go to the anycubic photon web page and find firmware upgrade only for the 4.2.19 and the 5.0.2 version (https://www.anycubic.com/blogs/videos/v … out-photon).

Also the github web page of Photonsters (https://github.com/Photonsters/anycubic … r/firmware), rigth now dont show versions list the history of firmware.

My anycubic 3d photon info printer have a version V3.4.1 UI 2.6, do you recomend me to make the upgrade?, which one 4.2.19? or 5.0.2?

Also i noted in each youtube video i've seen the info system show Photon 5.5 and my printer system only show Photon.

Regards and tanks for you support

Gerardo García.

Re: anycubic photon upgrade firmware

hallo, i got the same problem...and i wrote a message to anycubic after sale service. he wrote me for some days(!) that you replace the mainboard....it is not possible to upgrade version 5.0 directly to the mainboard...in opposite of the youtube
video "how to upgrade (easy) my printer firmware".
