Prints melting after curing - Porchdragon@gmail.com - 01-10-2022
Twice now, after curing (the second time was cured for over 5 minutes), I have had a print start melting/disintegrating into a puddle of goo. I have had other prints stay solid. Is there something I am doing wrong?
I am using a Mars 2 pro and Mercury plus with water washable grey resin

I have never had good results with "water washable" resin and no longer use or even consider it (in fact when I complained to Elegoo about theirs they sent me a free liter of the regular stuff), though I've never had anything melt. I know it can take up to 20 minutes+ to fully cure a model--try keeping it under the UV light longer. I use 40 minutes under a 30W 405 nm LED lamp in a curing oven I made from an old microwave oven...

I was wondering if I needed to cure it longer or if the water washable resin just did not work. I will try another kind(and longer curing)
