Did I have a catastrophic resin overflow?

Hi Sculptingman, I appreciate the reply. I definitely submitted a support ticket right away. Have you had this issue first-hand? If so, how did you solve it?

I’m a little bit concerned that the “catchtray” may not be doing its job, at least looking at this other thread, which is pretty much what happened to me (Form2 resin over fill DISASTER!). Doesn’t appear to me that this issue was anticipated and accounted for in the design. OTOH the product dev team at Formlabs are definitely wizards of some kind, so I could be missing something.

You’re right, though, that I should try to pinpoint the cause of the overfill. The resin tank itself was not full to the brim, but it looked like the resin had been repeatedly sloshed over the right side of the tank, perhaps by the wiper. I didn’t see this happen, but the right side of the tank was covered in resin even though the tank was only about half way full. I don’t think it was due to a leaky bite valve, but I’ve removed the cartridge anyway.
