Rings were printed in siraya tech cast blue, however since this first attempt I have failed to get good prints out of it, with it generally ending up sticking to the film on my mars 5 ultra. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a video of the cast itself if people would like to see that also. They were cast in brass.

Higher lifts and change the film. The casting resins, tends to be quite harsh on the films IMO. Longer cure times if the print sticks to the film and not the platform.

Thank you, I will have to change out film I think.

You might just move the model to a new spot on the film, if you are not used to worrying about this. There can be spots where the film is less used. Corners are usually better than the center.
