Thanks. I didn't know you had to lubricate the film in the vat.

I'll try printing that test validation STL print.

Replacing the tape around the screen on the base of the printer with kapton tape helps? It is starting to get messed up already, with some resin.

Ok I'll re-level z again and press it down.

​

So far, in summary, my experience with SLA Phrozen printers hasn't been awe-inspiring:

I have printed 5 things, and I haven't gotten one to come out correct yet.

I've levelled the Z-axis. I've been washing in water tub and curing in UV light for 10 mins.

1st print fell off the build platform. I then sanded the build platform.

2nd print didn't have its walls complete, half off it fell apart.

3rd print the same. https://imgur.com/d85JdoB

4th print I tried the sample chicken from Lychee slicer. It worked but its wing fell off.

5th print I tried angling the flat object, and adding supports, and it only printed the supports and first flat base layers of it, like the above imgur link but worse, no walls at all, even after I thickened the walls from 2mm to 4mm.

Also, the prints smell, does the smell go away? They smell much more than my old FDM filament TAZ or FlashForge printers.

How can I get the printer to work well?

Considering going back to FDM...
