Prints have a ridge - Lemmy.World

Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? This sphere has a ridge on it, and I’ve had miniatures come out with the base to be slightly offset giving a bit of a ridge. I’m using a Halot One, lychee Slicer, and Anycubic Water Wash resin.

Are you printing this near the center of your print bed?

I suspect that the object is not fully peeling off the FEP film, but just pulling it up for some of the layers. When it eventually releases the print continues.

I think you should lift higher, maybe double it to 10mm, to make sure that it completely separates from the film every layer.

Given my experience, this is what I would say too. Not separating from the FEP.
Suction cupping causes the print to rip from the build plate/supports, it wouldn’t cause this. Especially since it continues along as if a few layers were cut out of the file, which just isn’t something caused by suction cupping. It would essentially need to be stuck to the FEP to such an extreme degree that the stepper motor is unable to move.

It can cause both, actually.

Suction cupping could be a possibility on the sphere, it does not explain why I had ridges on miniature prints.
A loose FEP film explains the ridges.
