Hello everyone! I'm an old FDM-Veteran learning about how (M)SLA printing works, and I must say it's quite a challenge and a hell of a messy process.. I have read the FAQ in full and already learned quite a few things, so thanks for that!
Right now I'm fighting with getting my prints to stick to the build platform. I have managed to do some prints and I do know to avoid cross sections of my print that are bigger than the bottom layers to always keep the suction forces lower than that of the bottom layers (via model rotation or hollowing it out), but there's still things I do not fully grasp, such as the relation of normal vs bottom layer exposure times (how many bottom layers are recommended and how long should the exposure time be?) and if bottom layers should rather be one huge flat slab or rather have some holes inbetweeen to reduce suction forces.
Also, I do kinda wonder why there are so few settings you can play with in regards to layer thickness and/or exposure times. F.ex. I'm really missing variable layer height such as from the Prusa Slicer (which does SLA now, too, but not for the Photon!) or the option to make the bottom layers (also the bottom supports) thicker than the rest to improve stickyness and/or speed up printing. It just seems utterly stupid and pointless to also print the bottom layers in superfine 0.025mm resolution, especially when they're set to 60 seconds exposure...
