Have you tired printing off the plate on supports?
I have not tried printing on supports. I suppose I could try that.
So about the bottom layer exposure time. Prior to these frogs I attempted to print a few other things - namely some Milwaukee Packout feet, cones of calibration, and a different frog variant (much smaller.) I was having problems with (a) the print falling off the platform after 10-20 layers or so, or randomly much later on and (b) the bottom layers and transition layers would squish together like they weren't cured fully. Some prints would actually come out gooey in spots. I just kept adjusting the bottom & transition layer settings until the print stayed stuck onto the platform and wasn't gooey or squished.
It would be nice if the print weren't stuck to the plate so hard, as it is now I have to tap the scraper lightly with a hammer sometimes to get the print to release from the platform.
