While SLA resin 3D printers offer incredible detail compared to FDM printers, they are also prone to messy print failures. The most common issue is prints sticking to the FEP film at the bottom of the vat instead of the build plate.

Key Findings & Deep Dive
To fix adhesion issues, ensure your build plate is leveled correctly and scuffed slightly with sandpaper to improve grip. Increase the bottom exposure time in your slicer settings to ensure the initial layers cure firmly to the plate.
Verdict & Recommendation
Always filter your resin after a print failure to remove cured fragments that can damage your LCD screen. Wearing nitrile gloves and working in a well-ventilated room is mandatory when handling liquid resin.
