Hi,  
I have an SLA printer (Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K, actually an LCD printer), and I would like to help to add this printer to Kiri:Moto.  
This printer reads .ctb files (rather than .photon files for Anycubic printers), and there are some similarities between these 2 formats. Although I have no idea how to help to generate .ctb files.

I can provide .photon and .ctb files of the same object to compare both formats.  
Also, let me know if there is any way I can help with this.  
Thank you

Hi @Matlek and welcome. I looked into the ctb format about 6 months ago. It appears what info is available is from others who have done some reverse-engineering work. There is a longer story involving ChiTuBox that I won’t get into here.

If you want to post links to all the information you can find in this thread, I will use it to take a first shot at an adaptation.

Thanks for the links. I’m backed up on other work at the moment. I’ll revisit this as soon as I can.
