So I did my first print on my own and it was a spectacular fail as expected, 5/9 stuck to the vat/fep and just didnt feel like being alive. I used a combination of my own and automatic supports, neither correlate to which ones were successful so i dont really know what went wrong. I stopped the print on 60% hence the headless wiggles, and the duck butt have some separation which kind of looks like lack of resin but cant be. help pls
I expect there to be some grave mistake, or i hope it will be, so its a me problem and not a printer problem

resin?

The elegoo abs like
Same as for my testprint
Didn't change the settings.
But i feel like I fucked up putting the kepcaps so close to each other, maybe the suction made it fail
fair onyx
probably
would need to see your slicer screen to help there, just take some screenshots of what you tried to print

Well I only have these pics cus I'm at work
The burger was removed
And it was reorganized a little bit
Maybe I didn't have enough supports, these screenshots were taken before I was done fucking around with it
So it's not 100% accurate
These were the ones that was successful

ok so no where near enough sup on those key caps
honestly you are better off printing them at 45deg
same for the duck, seriously not enough
if I print anything small this is th amount of sup I put on it
notice I also use the sphere tips in chitu so after removing sup and post curing there are raised bumps I can sand away instead of little divots
now I dont use rafts because I have a flex plate, so removing prints is piss easy
as a rule though rafts are a pain in the ass
even if yo do need them if you dont have a flex plate

Ah okay alright, I thought because of the square shape they wouldn't need much support.
fair onyx
no

You live and you learn
fair onyx
the issue you need to consider is suction force
consider the outer unbroken perimeter of the the layer shape

Yea I know that now, I forgot about it when I was setting it up. Also I forgot to consider how fucking tiny they are
So I should switch to sphere contact shapes?
That makes sense
And i will be buying a flex plate but correctly don't have the money
The supports that did survive tho were very easy to snap off which was nice
I'll try the print again tomorrow, I'm excited
Thank you @fair onyx
