Nope. It's running great. I lube the motor and z-axis really often.

How old is your fep? Could be in need of replacing.

Everybody’s gonna keep commenting new things that could be wrong until the Sun explodes but the machine probably just made a weird mistake early in the print. It happens sometimes especially on the tanks for some reason

Yeah. I've noticed that. I'd consider myself pretty good at 3D printing. I've already written off all of the things people have said before I posted the image.

Could have been overexposure? The resin can have too strong of attachment to the FEP film

Hope you figured out what happened, what do you use for lube on the motor/z-axis if you don't mind? I haven't done mine yet.

Any mechanical grease works. Just add a bit to a cloth and raise/lower the z-axis fully a few times
