As I looked to see why i noticed the quartz was shifted to the left. I was wondering if this would affect my printing quality or cause print failures? Also would like to know what i could do to fix this problem.

Thank you,

I've had this issue as well. My studio stays pretty cool, is this directly attributed to heat? I know the film slightly grips to the crystal & the adhesive tape is gummy not ridged. Couldnt peeling cycles slowly nudge the crystal to one side?

My set up is int the very back corner of store next to a bathroom. If the door is left open then it blocks the cabinet that the printer sets on. Reason for the fan cause it can get very how from that projector. And I also feel that the film will stick to the table. I used the print all of the build area to remove some failed prints. I lift from one end to another on the platform away from the tilt side. But believe it pulled up the quartz top because i did not have the fan running and the film stuck to it.

If the film sticks to the Quartz that means its dirty or covered in resin residue. Don't touch the bottom of the tank with resin covered hands/gloves. Clean the Quartz with a paper towel and alcohol. Clean the bottom of the film with a microfiber cloth and alcohol.
