I've been kitbashing some STLs from various sources to create some crewmen for my German SPGs, and printing far more than I need.
Which is a good thing, because the print failure rate has been pretty high, and in every case it's because one of the legs hasn't printed, leaving the figure with an amputation at the knee or hip.
Yesterdays lot, a variety of figures, rendered me about 50% usable figures. Today I did a whole platen of duplicates of just one figure, and that returned 13 out of 20 fully-formed little men. I've been, if anything, over-supporting the prints, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to where on the platen the failures occur.
I don't really know enough about resin printers to know for sure what's what, but I guess I'll try replacing the FEP and re-leveling the machine. It's a pain, but it might work.
