Thin layers adhering to print
I've just run my first print on the new solus and I'm seeing very thin layers of excess material stuck to the print. What could be causing this?

Make sure to mix the resin really well before pouring out of the bottle.
Also check your FULL RGB settings, just in case a windows update reset it.

I had the same issue a second time. I shook the bottle for a good minute. Here are my graphics settings. Could it be something else? Dust on the lense? Incorrect projector settings?

It has to be the resin then. Please discard the resin in the tank or pour into another storage container. Then take a few heavy bolts or marbles and drop them into the resin bottle. Shake for at least 2-3 minutes.
Try the print again.

Also, did you follow all the directions carefully and setup the projector settings such as the brightness, eco mode, gamma?

Just checked projector settings and they were all ok. I will add some bolts to the container and shake them for a while.

What are your exposure settings? I had a similar problem using the default exposure settings for SolusProto resin, and resolved it by reducing my exposure settings quite a bit. I took it down in .2 sec increments till the issue disappeared. Worth trying that.

Yes I tried it in 10 micron mode and noticed a lot less flash and the flash that was there came off easily but there are still some striations visible on the model. A friend of mine who owns a couple different printers said this was due to suction and that I should try the turbo mode as that seems to solve that problem. Where can I find it?

Re: Thin layers adhering to print
I doubt that turbo settings will resolve the issue. It could be a combination of mixing the resin well, and adjusting exposure down. I recommend you reduce your exposure for each print, until the excess curing disappears. You can do that in the exposure editor by editing the existing exposure values for the column "all". (eg: 10 micron = 0.7).
