Ok collective, I had a weird fail last night I wanted to put up for the group to diagnose. That large hole in the side of the elephant shouldn't be there, obviously. Same with the one in his neck (the neck does have a 1.5mm drainage hole, but not a gaping wound)
1) it's not a support failure. The missing section is practically vertical, and I've also printed this same file successfully.
2) the photon file is valid. It has a number of 1-5 pixel islands just because of the elephant skin texture, but nothing significant.
3) LCD is working fine. You can tell because details above and below the missing section printed fine, and because there's a flat ridge of built up resin when the section finally fused with the main body again.
4) FEP has no leaks but it is starting to show it's age, so I'm replacing it now.
5) resin is Monocure Rapid grey, 8s exposure, 40s base layers, 23 degree Celsius room temperature.
All I can figure is that the resin wasn't mixed well enough, and that resulted in a puddle of it toward the middle of my plate that didn't cure properly.

also suggested pre-heating the resin, worth a shot
