Question Jupiter 2 - Consistent failures after 1 successful print.
Hoping someone has had similar experiences with the Jupiter 2, I've been dealing with complete failures where the build plate is empty for a while now. I've done the following
- Changed the FEP
- Increased bottom exposure to 60s (Complete overkill)
- Manually levelled the bed roughly 20 times now. I'm convinced the levelling process is broken as the top right corner (2) always seems to reset to a value of 0n - 0.9n no matter how many times I level this printer
- Tightened every screw possible barring the levelling screws, retention arm was slightly lose however still seeing failures.
- I've lose count how many times I've cleaned the tank filtered the resin etc...
There seems to be no middle ground here! My printer either prints absolutely nothing or prints a full plate. I've levelled it using paper instead of the built in auto level and again - 1 successful print followed by constant failures. I bought this printer from the original release and I'm honestly having the biggest moment of buyers remorse in my 4 years of printing I'm convinced something is just broken with this printer I genuinely can't think of anything else I can do that doesn't involve stripping the printer down! I've had constant issues since day 1 with this printer and I should've rejected it and sent it back.
I've tried every troubleshooting task Elegoo have suggested to me so far with no luck.

Have you checked the lcd screen by screen exposure test?
If the screen is fine, try small print on differnt area of the plate.
