TROUBLESHOOTING: Mono 6k only reads some .pwmb files

Troubleshooting

Hi! So, I started printing with my Photon 6k about two or three weeks ago. An issue I've run into is that only some of the files I slice appear on the Print menu to be selected for printing.

These files are being sliced into .pwmb format using Chitubox, though I've sliced using Lychee and had the same problem.

It's inconsistent. Some files can be read and printed, some can't. I can't figure out what the difference is between them.

Should I update the firmware? Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks for your time.

Had similar issue on my M3 plus. Updating the firmware fixed it.

Appreciate it. I've heard horror stories about updating firmware but yeah, seems like what I need to do.

Try another USB key, might be corrupted?

Do you check the file loads ok in photon workshop? If PW wont load it, neither will the printer.

Prints have being going pretty well so far. Had a few fails mostly human error on my end. Had more success than failure so thats a positive.
