I’m incredibly new to 3D printing. I have an Anycubic Photon Mono 2 and I’m using the Anycubic standard resin. My first couple of prints went fine; first one was the test print and the second was a set of dice (which technically didn’t go fine since I wasn’t aware you can’t just print right on the plate, so one side was blank).

However, ever since then my next 4 prints have failed. I thought I was maybe going too complex right off the bat - attempting to print a flexible dragon for my kids - so I decided to run the resin exposure test (“RERF”). Only 4 of the 8 printed, and the ones that did only barely printed. I have absolutely no idea what’s going on with this and was hoping that someone here could give some insight and advice.

Thanks!

    Exactly. I was printing fine, then winter came, and everything started to fail. Got a cheap fermentation Heating Belt wrapped around my vat and everything was working great again Then I wasn’t being diligent about cleaning my plate and started getting fails until I realized the issue.
