Hi Eddy,

That skull is solid? Have you though about hollowing it out a bit?

Yes the skull is solid, I'll trying to print the length xy direction to printer faster. The bigger one printed in the Z and that was the first problem I had. The small one was trying to open the mouth in the small one. Also wanted to make sure it not the film

Ok, after fourth attempt moved it and rotated --success. I guessing there may be a bad spot on the film.

you may have a failed piece stuck to the film from the fails. Pour out the resin in the vat and strain it. Look real close in the edges of vat. Sometimes the wedge there and them move when printing.

The failure is always in one place, and when I added a support it started after that.

Then my guess is there is a hole in the mesh. Did you run it through a mesh repair program?

I'm having the same thing with a band I'm trying to print.

No holes, it will print if I print vertically. Just not laying down?? alway in the same place. I may be the film, then I first started I did not set color to full RBG and had window7 Aero on. And have a lot of resin stuck to it. I think I make have dented the film.

Are there any small, unsupported overhangs on the section of the ring that is failing? You can email me the stl if you'd like me to take a look.
