So I followed these steps and went to print a new 20mm cube. As the build plate lowered for the first time, I could hear repeated beeping as if it was having trouble zeroing in on the right position, and eventually I got an error saying the motor was overheated. I raised the build plate, let it drip into the vat, removed the vat and the plate and ran the exposure test, getting absolutely nothing. This was pretty stressful, since I'd just replaced the screen a few days before, but I shut off the printer and restarted it in case that did anything. Turns out, the exposure test worked again, and I was able to print the cube. It measured out to 20mm post-rinse and pre-cure.
So today I decide to print something else, a file I'd sliced before doing any of this. Halfway during the print, I noticed there was nothing stuck to the build plate. I canceled the job, emptied the vat, popped the cured resin pieces off the FEP and cleaned everything out. My FEP is banged up, so I thought I'd replace it and have no more issues.
Post-replacement, the exact same print (a print which has worked in the past) is giving me the exact same result. The only thing I've been able to successfully print so far are these cubes. Can I get some insight as to why this is happening, maybe?
