I recently bought an Elegoo Mars 3D printer. Generally speaking, I'm quite happy with it. But, I don't care for the slicing software, Chitubox. Does the Elegoo Mars support other 3D file formats? I have tried *.stl files, but they don't seem to work with the factory firmware.

1Stl files are source models, not the sliced data for the printer. I'm not familiar with resin printer file formats. What does their proprietary slicer output? – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Feb 28 '20 at 03:19

A Chitubox file, with a *.cbddlp extension. – MikeyE Feb 28 '20 at 03:41

3Searching for it turns up that it's the same thing as .photon format and there are a number of open source tools for working with it. I would start with googling "photon slicer" and see what you find in the results. – R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE Feb 28 '20 at 04:10

It also works with the .photon format of the Photon slicer.
It is only marginally better than ChituBox though.
