Good morning.
I have a brand new Mars 2 Pro. I say brand new in that it's just over a month old, already Elegoo has replaced the LCD plate, and the only thing it has successfully printed is the Rook test print (and that only after about four attempts). Nothing else has successfully printed. Settings have been adjusted. Different types of models used—thinking maybe something smaller might be successful just to get the ball rolling here. Nothing. Now, even after the LCD replacement, the Rook isn't printing.
The FEP film continues to appear punctured with resin filling in between layers. There is always a stuck/solid layer of resin on the film on failed prints. But what confuses me is that there is stuck/sold resin in areas of the FEP that aren't anywhere even near where the print was happening, a kind of milky/spotty layer of resin. I have yet to get more than a single use out of any one FEP sheet. And those aren't cheap.
I'm very frustrated by this printer. For something that bill itself as the best consumer level 3d printer, I'm just not seeing it yet—even if all this is "user error." So far, there hasn't been any user friendly solutions.
Any advice, suggestions, ideas would be appreciated.
TIA,
Bishop
