Hey guys,
More just curious from my experience so far, but in the recommended setting for Grey AnyCubic Resin for .02 Layer height, it has 10.5 for the Normal Exposure time.
Edit: Whoops, forgot to mention I have an Anycubic Photon S
I have printed in this, and notice "swelling" in some things, primarily supports, but a few other things as well (in the below image, the claw and left support is most obvious). This is causing the supports to get too close to the model and adhere, even though they are very clearly away from the model. I tested at 8 exposure, and got a better result, as far as normal sizing, but obviously getting a more, rubbery print that just needs to bask in the sun more.
The detail looks good on both, with very small details showing on both, but the higher exposure shows deeper cavities and sturdier details, which is awesome! It does though make my medium supports impossible to remove cleanly after print. I guess I want to figure out if there is a setting I am missing that is causing this issue? That or if I am reading the "Anycubic Photon Resin Settings" incorrectly.
I went ahead and attached a few of my local settings.
This is all settings I used for the latest print.
I also put up one of the prints, and the render of it in app. (Sorry for the unclean "Post-Process")
Sorry for the longish post, but feel free to ask questions for anything I may have missed.

Exposure times differ between the different Photon models (S needs significantly less time than original, for example), and probably a bit between individual printers due to variations in the UV source (manufacturing variation s, age etc.). If by "recommended settinG", you mean one you got from acommunity spreadsheet, these are a bit hit and miss at best

That's good to know. Yes I have the Anycubic Photon S. I don't know why I always forget to mention that. (Probably because I think this is a Anycubic Facebook Group lol)
I was using the community spreadsheet as well, yes, but maybe one that was not for the "S" model.

Was just editing and updating my comment, but the editor closed.
I was mentioning that I am not convinced that 0.02 is really worth it, and would encourage you to do a side by side comparison at 0.05 (or maybe 0.04) and 0.02: my conclu
sion was that exposure times for 0.02 were basically no lower than for 0.05 and the detail was not noticably better. Print times, however, are much higher
Most likely the sheet you saw was for the standard model, 10.5 sounds high for the S

I notice some better details at .02, (I see layering at .05)but you are more than likely correct, I could at least go up to .03 or even .04.
Do you yourself have a Photon S? What would you recommend at say, .03?

I'm running an original, with different resin, so my settings are not much help. I went back to 0.05 in any case (printed at 0.02 for a while, but print times are soooo long)

Well thank you so much for what was said so far. Much appreciated!

And when I did a side-by-side comparison with my setup, I got best results at 9s for 0.05mm and at .... 8-9s with 0.02mm, so no reduction in exposure time

Thinking about it, it might be worth running an exposure range test - even 8s might be highish for an S model (mostly guessing though)
