✅ - Parts of my prints are turning out glossy and details are not appearing as well

[old sphinx]

Hey, parts of my resin prints are turning out glossy and low detail. It has appeared on other prints but I have not fully figured out the cause. I use elegoo standard grey resin and denatured alcohol for cleaning prints. I think it has something to do with how the print is positioned when printing because this model was supported so it was face-down. This model was cleaned soon after it was finished printing but it has appeared on models where it sat on the build plate hours before cleaning. Forgive me for poor english/grammar, I have a hard time typing/proofreading posts like this on my phone. Feel free to ask for clarification/rephrasing if needed

Notes that I feel may be important:

• I have calibrated my exposure settings to get the detail that I want

• I wash my prints in denatured alcohol twice, roughly 45-90 seconds in total. This does not seem to affect the print quality issue

• I have been having trouble with models not sticking to the build plate, this one partially stuck and it was unusually easy to remove from the build plate

• I've used the same bottle of resin since late October of last year

Update: mostly fixed the issue by leveling the build plate with a peice of normal paper, not a paper towel
