Describe the bug

a size error occurs during the file conversion then generates this problem on the printout (see screenshot)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open UVTools
2. Menu Calibration -> Elephant foot
3. File -> Convert to -> Photon Mono 6K
4. Version 1 or 515 or 516

You can't use the demo file to generate tests or whatever to your printer.
You must load and use a dummy previous sliced file by you for your printer.

Demo file is just there to able to explore UVtools without a file but you ALWAYS need to open your own based on your printer.
Printer firmware is dumb enough to accept such malformed file...

I understand, but I also have other problems with the files generated on UVTools, I am attaching the problems and PWMB files for possible debugging

Slicer is PrusaSlicer

PWMB Files

Version 1 and 515 the Z axis does not go up

With version 516 it works but the prints fail, I also attach the screenshots of the printed pieces.

Version 1 and 515 the Z axis does not go up. With version 516 it works.

Newest Anycubic machines uses only v516, other versions will fail.
With my PS profiles it output the correct version.

but the prints fail

Can't see where this is realated with UVtools...
Either your supports are failling or you are one of the unlucky guys to get the machine with bad board that shift image when AA is ON. Try to print same file but with AA disabled (You must slice on Photonworkshop and disable AA)

i installed the profile from uvtools it should be correct right?

ok I also try this thing

with photon workspace 2.1.29 and lycheeslicer the printing is successful without problems, I also tried chitubox free and pro generates problems similar to prusa + uvtools

Yes

photon workspace & lycheeslicer by default dont have AA enabled. While PrusaSlicer haves and Chitubox may also have

[antwal]

ok can i disable it for testing to check if it works, on prusa? thx

[sn4k3]

On prusa you can disable AA setting gamma to 0 BUT you also need to disable on UVtools which you need to use the terminal console for that (No direct way on UI) that why i adviced to try with photon workshop.

You can always slice on prusa and export to stl and finish on photonworkshop
