i have bought the Anycubic Photon Mono x 6Ks, when i run the files through uvtools, it says by the printing, file is damaged! printed stopped, also the uvtools file is a lot whole shorter, 416 and 417 version from anycubic in uvtools The normal LvlTest.px6s from chitubox is printing. so i tried the photon slicer from anycubic, same orginal file works, though the uvtools and then the file is damaged |

A workaround you can try in the meantime is reloading the sliced UVTools px6s file in Chitubox and save it again, has worked for me with previous Versions if my printer wasnt supported in UVTools yet. |

The cause why UVtools file is smaller is because your layers are all equal / same image across the 20 layers. On save UVtools cache images and for equal images it saves only one image and point equal layers to that image, because each layer has an image pointer and then it's possible to save bytes. If firmwares are codded correctly it will jump to image address instead of sequential fetch, but from what I saw this past year's firmwares are never to trust as often they don't fully respect own file spec. |

Not related to uv tools per say, but I also get damaged file errors, seemingly at random when I slice with Lychee for my 6ks. Could the image caching be the same issue with lychee. I contacted lychee support but have not been able to resolve the issue. |

I provide you two files, print both without VAT and report back which file printed. One is saved with cache and other without the cache.
