What a mess !!!!!!
I started a new model, something went wrong with the fourth file, parts were not printed or only half printed, others showed cracks.
There was also semi-cured resin stuck to the FEP film, which is quite new, so it is not due to the condition of the film.
The next day I tried to print the file again with the same or even worse result.
I use the Water washable ABS like resin from Elegoo, my printer is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K.
I'm amazed that I was able to do three perfect prints, and then the problems started. What went wrong, what went wrong?????

Looks like the exposure time is too short. Same resin with different colors might need different settings. Some color are more opaque than others for UV light. You need to do a cone exposure test when changing resin: https://www.aladdinmodel.com/post/how-to-calibrate-your-resin-3d-printer
Thank you for accepting me to the group, my printer is an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K.

Hi Rudy, welcome to the group! The feedback from other people with Saturn 4 printers is that the UV screen is too powerful. It's recommended to reduce power to 85% (see picture attached)
Joining this group
I hope this group will become a place to exchange ideas and a valuable resource to troubleshoot 3D printing issues. I have had a few resin and filament printers myself, and I sell industrial 3D printers for a living.

It just stopped sticking at a certain point. Exposure time too short? And the tires are from a different resin obviously. You can't use the same settings for different resins.
