There can be a few different causes for this and thanks for doing a bit of troubleshooting by iterating with Z fine tuning! Are you noticing that resin is sticking to the PDMS on the tank rather than the platform? There are a few additional steps we might try and if those don’t seem to correct things, I’ll make sure to get you in touch with a member of our support team to troubleshoot further.
Most often, we do see this as related to the Z offset of the printer and we recommend iterating downwards with Z fine tuning until you’ve hit 1mm or so. It’s also important to make sure that the tank isn’t excessively clouded as this can affect adhesion to the build platform as well.
when i look at the tank with resin in it, its lower on the left hand side, is this normal? i can just about get the base layer to stick to the platform on the left, it wont print a full model but a get something rather than nothing.
If you’re noticing misalignment of the tank, it’s best to work with our support team to get this corrected. I’ve reached out to our team and one of our members will be in touch with you over email to help troubleshoot.
