#Build Plate sits for 5 seconds after each layer, doubling the print time. Anyway to fix it?

Hi! I am still figuring out my new printer being the Elegoo Saturn 8k, and while it appears I've figured out my issues on getting the prints not to fail, a new issue has appeared: The print time is aggressively long. I was confused why it was taking so long until I watched it for a moment and learned it was taking 5 seconds to just sit between each layer. I understand it needs to take a moment to let the resin settle again, but 5 seconds between every layer is ridiculous, but I don't know what setting in ChiTuBox I'm supposed to change to fix it. Any help would be grand.

I'll give both your lift and retract speeds a shot 🙂

the big secret to faster print timmes isnt fast lift, its tuning your lift height to the bear minimum for the slow speed to get a safe peel

#

running fast lift is torture on your lFEP and stretches the F out of it

se the crease in the middle of the fep on this example of one of our users that ran high speeds. fep stretched, then on retract theres more surface area than the vat area and it creases up and gets smooshed by the previous layer
