I finally had an area to setup the resin printer i got almost a year ago. Did initial setup, bed leveling, and set out to test with this benchmark I’ve seen around.

It’s an elegoo saturn 2 printer, I’m using CHITUBOX basic as the slicer, all settings were the default it gave for this printer other than adding 0.5 wait time to before lift (default 0) , and bottom layer count to 8 (default 5)

I used the elegoo washing station for 10min then the curing station for 10min. There seem to be a lot of rough lines and the right side line ramp is barely visible at all. Not sure what this suggests needs adjustment and would appreciate some help getting into the correct direction.

I did do some looking around and at least it seems i should try 4 base layers only on this according to one of the places i found it hosted. Other than that I’m not sure how to clean it up more

    Color and age definitely matter too. Each resin should also have a configuration table you can import into the slicer. I use Sirya and they offer data sheets and configs from their website. Not sure which other resin manufacturers do the same

      I’ll poke around, it’s an elegoo resin and if I’m not mistaken they at least offer some recommended setting changes somewhere on the website for their resins
