Sonic Mighty 8K : Checking Firmware & How to Reboot

I got myself a new Sonic Mighty 14K Revo, on Chitubox, the machine cannot be found. I tried with the “8K and looking for 14k Resin” import. That worked, but I still can’t print the file, the button is grey out.
Furthermore, the ChituManager can’t find the unit on LAN either. I’m able to ping it without any issues.

Hello David, Thank you for commenting.

You will need to update the firmware of your printer to the latest version in order to use the LAN connection functionality through Chitubox Manager. Please download the latest version of firmware on this page, and follow the instruction carefully when updating the firmware: https://helpcenter.phrozen3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/6369983852569-Firmware-downloads-and-release-notes

All the resin profile of our resin products for our printers have been listed on this page, please use them as a starting point to dial the settings in to get the optimized result for your working environment: https://phrozen3d.com/pages/resin-profile

Hope this helps.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your comment! If you have a USB drive plugged in while booting up, please try boot your printer with no USB drive plugged in.

If it doesn’t help, please try reflash your firmware by following the instructions in this page. You can skip the FPGA update if you can not get in to the main menu, and later reflash it again with correct steps once you boot it up. Firmware downloads and release notes: https://reurl.cc/3×9Xol

Phrozen Technology replied:
Hi Brini,

Thank you for reaching us. We will suggest you to refalsh the firmware to see if it solves the problem. To do so, please check the article about the firmware update instructions in our helpcenter (lind down below), where you can also download the firmware. In order to prevent the crash of the SD card, we suggest that you shut down the printer first, wait for over 30 seconds and power supply turned off, insert the SD card with the correct firmware files in it, then turn on the powersupply and the printer to update the firmware and see if it solves your problem.

Hey, I’ve updated my Sonic Mighty 8K printer with the latest firmware (V136b released Dec 29, 2022) and after the update the z-axis control does not work and I can’t print at all. I’m 100% sure I’ve updated the printer with the instructions provided by Phrozen to the letter.

Phrozen Technology replied:
Hello Juha,

Thank you for commenting. Please make sure v136b system firmware on your Sonic Mighty 8k is paired with v32.20 FPGA firmware. You can check both your firmware version in the Hardware Testing tab inside System > Settings. If the version is incorrect, please update the firmware again by following instructions carefully, you must update FPGA firmware first, then system firmware. If your version is correct but the printer is still not working after trying a update again, please contact our customer support team by submit a request form, which you can find in our helpcentre or use the link down below:

I am having an issue. Last week my printer was working fine, but this week the print button is greyed out for everything, including local file copies of the provided test prints. I tried a factory reset but that didnt solve the issue.

Thanks.

Phrozen Technology replied:
Hi Jacob,

Thank you for commenting. The grayed out printed button usually means the settings in the .ctb file you’ve selected are incompatible with your printer. To solve this issue, please load your .ctb file into Chitubox, select the correct printer profile corresponding to your printer model, adjust the exposure settings to your needs, slice it again and save the file. Then read the new .ctb file you’ve just sliced on the printer to see if the print button is available.

Hope this helps, we wish you a happy printing.

Regards, Phrozen Team.

After firmware update, when I go z axis control and tell it to raise the bed, it does nothing.

Hi Nick,

We have some Sonic Mighty 8K users report the same issue as yours. To our research, update the firmware again should solve the problem. Please make sure you have followed the instructions on the firmware download page. (or the link down below)

https://reurl.cc/Dm6Z8j

For updating Sonic Mighty 8K’s firmware, you have to update the FPGA firmware first, then the paired system firmware that comes with it. Please do follow the instructions to avoid any failure that could occur during the process.

Hope you find this helpful.

Regards, Phrozen Team.

I am using chitubox, select my printer and add a 3d model, then export to .ctb, but when I go to the printer with usb and select the file, the print button appears disabled, can you please help me with this problem? I tried with the test .ctb that comes in the usb and with those if the print button is enabled in orange

Phrozen Technology replied:
Hi John,

If the pre sliced file is working for you, but file you’re slicing is not working, then it means it’s either your slicer settings are incorrect, your slicer’s have problem, or the USB drive you’re using is corrupted.

Please make sure you’re selecting the right profile that matches your printer, if you’re using Chitubox v1.9.0 or later, please make sure you have update your printer to the latest version of firmware. 3D printers only accept USB drives with capacity of 8GB or 16GB, formatted to FAT32, and allocation unit size of 2048 bytes with 8GB drives, 4096 bytes with 16GB drives.

Hope this could help you to solve your problem.
