Hi,

 ![Immagine 2026-07-29 120110](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/3X/f/b/fb69eecbc436264b0c5e6ac67f5cf4556562ca77.jpeg)

I am attempting my first prints (quite simple models) with Formlabs Silicone, but so far I have not managed to obtain a complete print. Typically, only the flat base is successfully printed, while the rest of the model does not form, even though the printing process continues until the end. I find the base stuck to the resin tank.

I am sharing a screenshot of the .form file as an example. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide useful advice or suggestions!

@Michele93 Printing with Silicone Resin does have its nuances. To get started, have you checked out the two articles for printing with this resin? There are a few other resources available at the bottom of the page. If you still have issues, I suggest [opening a support case](https://formlabs.com/support/) so that we can dig in deeper and help with more detailed troubleshooting.
