I can see in print number 4 the rings need better supports and especially need supports on the downward facing prongs. The prongs are just growing on the film and causing the ring to later rip apart. Monger created a good tutorial here:

The layout for the last print looks fine, please post a screenshot of your slice profile settings. I suggest scrolling through the slices on the Slice View page to check the models are slicing correctly. It is also possible that the projector reverted back to the factory settings somehow and now the exposure intensity is off.

I just did a ring that has Marquise and round shapes heads. First two attempts failed. Just printed the shank part. You have to support that outside edge on your curves.

Had that sticking to plate also. Support not on the floor when sliced. Least mine was that way. So when print started it attached to film instead. For each model make sure you "Move" to floor.

Thanks Jewelmont, I was sticking to everything to the floor, and couldn't print anything, stopped doing it and better results.

looking for more consistent results and getting them, thanks all for help!!!

Hi,

We're working on auto-supports but this is obviously a huge challenge to pull off so they work well for a wide variety of models.

Can you post a picture of what you mean by the models are slanted?

Some models print better when placed on an angle. It can help in keeping "islands" (areas that need support if straight up) from happening.

Hi,

slanted I mean like some degree angle.

e.g form-lab software was able to do auto support, after if need to adjust manually it's possible..

Person like me will need such software bçoz problem of English etc etc......need to make as easy as possbile...
