I ahve some issue with the printing... is giving me layera and bad surface on the prints

Make sure your FULL RGB settings are enables, according to the instructions.

If they are, make sure you're mixing the resin bottle very well and shaking it for at least 2 minutes. It helps to drop some heavy marbles or some clean bolts inside the bottle and the shake. This is so that the pigment that may be settled on the bottom of the bottle can be reintegrated back into the resin.

If you did all that and still get the flashing, lower the Light Intensity Slider inside the resin profile, one notch at a time until the flashing goes away, and you're happy with the print quality.

Also, which projector do you have?

Last week worked good. I printed with 42 resolution and aftet that changed to 25 and that s happenend

25 micron XY setup puts out a little more energy since the projector is closer, so that makes sense.

Just adjust the intensity down a bit and it should be ok.

I do suggest printing at 42xy, because you get a large build area and the print quality is nearly the same unless you print really small details that require the 25 micron XY resolution.

We print at 42xy 99% of the time.

I just changed the preselected in options for 42. And the print got bad. Rings got oval.
After that changed back to 25 and this happenend.

Maybe i miss something

You can't just select 42/25 and that's it, you need to change the projector distance, the lenses and recalibrate. Watch the videos again.
