Hi guys  
I buyed a new resin tank and liter of white resin and after five-six prints the resin tank starts to crack.  
At the moment is a very small crack but I’m afraid it broke the resin tank and release all resin into the printer…

Is there any king of warranty or something with new resin tanks?

Yikes, oftentimes exposure to solvents like IPA can weaken the tank and cause it to crack over time. I’ve gotten in touch with our support team and one of our members will be reaching out over email to help investigate and get this corrected for you.

Don’t remember to use IPA to clean it, but everything is possible.  
Thanks a lot for your support guys!
