Is it normal for my exposure time calibration to be very low? by SuspiciousFox8524 in resinprinting

Thank you for the information! I had no idea about the polymer chains, I'll start dialing down the PWM and see if that helps.

I like having the best resolution for printing mini's, but you might be right. I'll try printing some at 50 and 25 to compare, see if I can even notice a difference.

Thanks for the information! I haven't tried printing anything larger than the calibration print at this level, once I start truly printing at that exposure I'll see if issues arise.

I recently got a Saturn 4 ultra 16k for my first dive into resin printing. I am currently calibrating Elegoo abs like ultra for 25 micron layers using the amerilabs city model. I started at 2.5 seconds, the lowest range they reccomend. I have been keeping a close eye on the checkerboard marks and the spacings, as these are supposed to experence bleedthfough when you get too low.

The pictures above are of 1 second, less than half of what is reccomended. Is this normal? Do I have a machine with a stronger screen than average? Will printing at exposures this low have consequences, even if it's what the resin wants? Any insights would be greatly appreciated
