File Type not recognised?

I wonder if you are having the same issue as another member here:
https://www.elegoomars.com/forum/showthr...p?tid=1070

I kind of looks like elegoo have not supplied the printer with the very latest firmware.

To bring you up to speed : Chitu systems controls the software/firmware side of things for several 3d printer manufacturers. For reasons only known to themselves Chitu  want to tighten their control, and prevent 3rd party slicers using their system (except via their own SDK ) . This is not a popular move and so maybe elegoo felt it prudent to supply an older firmware, which allows 3rd parties (e.g. lychee slicer) access and only older versions of ChituBox (i.e. 1.8.1) , while leaving it upto the user to decide if the latest version would be best for their purpose.

So essentially , either use CB 1.8.1 , lychee or some other compatible slicer - or - update firmware and get stuck with CB 1.9.0 or  CB pro (at a ridiculous £170 per year) ,  until the 3rd parties work out CB's SDK.

Personally , I chose the latter and updated the firmware on my Saturn  (I don't like Lychee's spyware)
