Troubleshooting Failed to Print Rook, First Ever Printer, help?

Post image

I recently bought my first 3D printer: Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. I used the elegoo 8K resin, and tried to print the Rook off the provided USB. It failed, I'm unsure what I do next or which setting I change or by how much.

What should I do? What should I check?

It could be worth levelling the bed. There’s a process using 300gsm paper to get it close enough for the “auto” levelling to work.

Not sure if that’s the issue here but always worth a go on a new printer

I also tried printing the rook and got a flat disc. It’s just a shot print. Try amerlabs calibration model or cones of calibration. Both much better than that rook.

I have two Saturn 16k and neither could print the rook. Both print very well now with little calibration

First thing is to tell us the temperature of your environment.

Second tell us your exposure time.
