[@aman79870]

Thank you! I have never used Github for anything. I appreciate this guide. Coherent and Helpful!

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Glad to hear that you found it helpful. 😊

[@renny9879]

none of them say uvtools with the purple icon for me. not sure what to do

[@JustJereInCalif]

Does anybody know if the user interface [on UV Tools] can be adjusted to show a proper aspect ratio (and if so, then how)?

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Hmm I'm not sure about that. I'd ask in the UVTools Facebook group or in the Q&A section of the Github.

[@محمدهادی-ث3ه2ع]

I'm using the Phrozen Sonic Mighty 4K printer. My question is it possible to change the layer settings individually? (ie. layer 1: exposure time 10sec, layer 2: exp time 15sec, layer 3: exp time 20sec...). I Using CHITUBOX 64 and Formware 3D but G-code is not write to ctb files and each layer print with standard exposure time.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

That's a fantastic question, but unfortunately I don't have the answer. I would definitely recommend asking this question in the UVTools Facebook group. The creator of UVTools is usually very quick to respond to questions like this.

[@dmcf1975]

Thanks very helpful - really want to try this program now. now.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

It's definitely worth giving it a shot!

[@augustusgiba54]

hey, I am trying to get this to run on my MacBook but it won't let me. it says the developer cannot be recognized. can you help me out?

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Unfortunately I don't have any experience installing it on Mac systems. But you can join the UVTools Facebook group. Or ask for help in the Q&A section of the UVTools Github. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[@augustusgiba54]

@@SlicePrintRoleplay no worries. Thank you for taking the time to make these vids!

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

@@augustusgiba54 you are very welcome.

[@Optikification]

when i download the 64bit version for windows and unzip it there is no uvtools.exe

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Hmm. It's possible the install process has changed. I'll look into this. Additionally, I'd recommend asking about this in the UVTools Facebook group. You'll likely get an answer very quickly.

[@DMGIII]

soooo.... I DL'd this and tried to opoen Lychee stls files...it doesnt recognize Lychee slicer files??? the file type drop down does not have that option? how do I fix that?

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

It could be issue with the format of the file. Are you using a printer that's on the compatibility list?

[@ralphwie575]

I'm struggling to get this to run on Ubuntu. Could you help? What commands do I need to put in the terminal to run it. Cheers

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Unfortunately I don't know much about Linux based systems. You can definitely ask this question in the UVTools Facebook group though. The creator of UVTools is usually very responsive.

[@rumblelloyd9491]

Under the requirements section on the github page, it tells you what dependencies you need to install for Ubuntu, install those. Then run ./UVtools.sh from the program directory to run UVtools.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

@@rumblelloyd9491 thanks for that awesome info!

[@AQWDaily]

I don't know why, but it's not opening the program after I extractit...

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Interesting... Are you getting an error is is it just not opening at all?

[@Keptis742]

After downloading, the program will not open. Running in windows 10. Asking here because everywhere else i search is just advice on specific files not opening, not the program itself.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Are you seeing an error or something?

[@Keptis742]

Nope, nothing at all. Opening task manager while trying, it starts to open, then just disappears and never comes up.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

@@Keptis742 hmm, I'm guessing you've tried deleting it and re-installing it? If so then I'd reach out to the creator. They are really active on their Facebook group.

[@Keptis742]

yeah, that's the plan now. thanks!

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

@@Keptis742 sounds good. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

[@chuckanderson7954]

Thank you for this!!

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

You are very welcome. I'm glad people are finding it helpful. 😊

[@jonval3136]

The Mac version isn't opening at all =/

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac so I can't help troubleshoot this. However, the creator is very responsive and helpful. So I'd ask about this in the UVTools Facebook group or on in the Q&A section of the Github. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

[@artwerxcomau]

I cant get it to run

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Can you explain a bit more about what's going on? What step are you at that's not working? Also, what operating system are you using?

[@renny9879]

ok i had to download the one that said .exe at the end

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

Sorry I missed this till now. Glad you figured it out!

[@renny9879]

@@SlicePrintRoleplay All good. Thanks for the video and for replying! KZbinrs that take the time to read and respond to comments left by their viewers certainly get my respect.

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

@@renny9879 I try my best to answer questions when I see them. Sometimes I miss the notification or get sidetracked while I'm typing a response. But I try. 😅

[@MrRoyalfalconer]

Nothing about installing UV Tools on Mac or Linux… little bit clickbait

[@SlicePrintRoleplay]

That is absolutely a fair call out. I'm usually pretty careful not to be at all misleading with my titles, thumbnails, and or descriptions. I made this video awhile ago and I may have assumed that the install process would be similar on other operating systems. However, if I can't test it myself and show it in the video then it should be mentioned. Thanks for calling this out and for not being super disrespectful about it. I'll change the title/thumbnail to better represent the video content.
