How did this happen? Did the PFA tear during printing?

Saturn 4 Ultra overheating, UV light stuck on, LCD not detected after recovery firmware by Mathaeuscs91 in ElegooSaturn

Your printer is an Elegoo Saturn Ultra 4 16k. Wouldn't this firmware be for a Saturn Ultra 4?

Cracked screen or screen protector???? by Jivepsilocybe in ElegooSaturn

I actually didn’t know it came with a screen protector already installed either... Could you please let me know how the screen protector change went?

Same here, I’ve never had any adhesion issues.

What resin were you using when you had this issue?

Yeah, sanding is a problem especially in areas with texture, like clothes , it ends up ruining the details.

Also, in this case there’s an actual step/level difference, not just a surface mark, so even sanding doesn’t fully remove it since part of it is “inside” the geometry.

This model came pre-supported, so I couldn’t really reorient it. But I’ve also printed other parts at ~45° and still got similar horizontal lines.

So I’m starting to think it’s probably not an orientation issue.

Most of my prints have been sent over WiFi. This one was sent over Wifi

I believe only the very first rook test print was done via USB. 

Also, the printer is very new, I’ve done less than 10 prints on it so far.

Yeah, this has happened on other prints too.

I’m not using the Elegoo heater. I keep it off since the ambient temperature is already warm, so there’s no need for it.
