It’s a little tricky to determine what’s going on from the video. Seconding @fantasy2’s request for the .form file or part orientation in PreForm. It looks like it might be possible that a portion of the model is unsupported which is causing it to adhere to the tank.

I’m having trouble downloading that file. Can you send over a link using a file sharing service like dropbox or google drive? I’ll make sure everything is working correctly in terms of file hosting on our end in the mean time.

He (or more likely the forum software) accidentally had a line break in the URL. Here is the correct URL

[https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/5/5fe24989ac6300de5fcccbd297c48fc89c0d2fc9.form](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/5/5fe24989ac6300de5fcccbd297c48fc89c0d2fc9.form)

I’ve got it. Nice detective work by @kevinduhe ;). If that errors repeats itself, I’ll make sure we look into it.

That model looks to be really well oriented and I’m not seeing any suspect unsupported surfaces. Can you [open up a ticket with our support team](https://support.formlabs.com/hc/en-us/re) so that we can help to troubleshoot further?
