First print

I've done all the set up and have the supports on the object. After clicking slice I go to print and the timer starts but the build plate never lowers into the vat.

Hi,

Did you create your own resin profile or are you using an existing one? If you created your own you need to copy over the GCode to the new profile.

If you're using a default resin profile then please erase CW and try unzipping it again.

Try it again. Home the arm with $h. Press 10 a few times to move it. Does it move up?

If yes, do a dry run. Basically printing without the resin tank or build platform.

If it works, you can stop it after a few min. Press stop whenever the projector is not projecting.

Now put the resin tank and build platform in to do the real print. Before pressing play, press +1 just to make sure your printer still has a connection. If that arm move up by 1mm then all is good. Press play and it should start printing.
