Does anyone know why this print got elongated or stretched? It was a circle and it printed as attached oval?

That’s usually an indication of a failure in one galvonometer or the other, which control the placement of the laser which cures the resin. If you haven’t already, you should get in touch with our support team at [support@formlabs.com](mailto:support@formlabs.com).

Thanks Sam,  
That does not sound so good!  
I have touched base with the support team and am waiting to hear back.
