Hi Everyone,

I printed an object that’s 1/2" thick and about 170ml of resin. I had two prints not work so I am wondering what may be wrong with my set-up, possible object placement or inadequate supports?

**The Object**

 ![50%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/formlabs/original/2X/6/66e10e8f372dac1ee2c5c7febea0aaa99cf55cc6.png)

The Object in Preform

**Attempt 1:** The print stopped working before it got to the object. The entire tank was filled with bits making it look like it had congealed. The supports were gummy. I cleaned out the tank and scraped the bottom where bits had fallen off or been cured to the bottom. I thought it may be something to do with the resin.

**Attempt #2:** I used a new tray and a new resin cartridge. It printed all the way through without any major problems, but when removed from the tank, the item looked like it had stretched wide near the base and the supports hadn’t cured 100%. The upper-middle parts of the support structure touching the object were soft and gummy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
