I am having trouble with my printer ripping the tabs off the bottom. It will start clicking real loud then when it raises it will break the tabs when the vat comes up with it.

Hi @EthanNiedecken ,

This is definitely unexpected behavior; my first guess would be that the part that you are printing has a large surface area being printed on the layers causing more adhesion to the tank film than is typical. I would advise [reaching out to our Support Team](https://support.formlabs.com/s/contact-support?language=en_US) to share the .form file so that we can take a look and further assist.
