I finally had an area to setup the resin printer i got almost a year ago. Did initial setup, bed leveling, and set out to test with this benchmark I’ve seen around.

It’s an elegoo saturn 2 printer, I’m using CHITUBOX basic as the slicer, all settings were the default it gave for this printer other than adding 0.5 wait time to before lift (default 0) , and bottom layer count to 8 (default 5)

I used the elegoo washing station for 10min then the curing station for 10min. There seem to be a lot of rough lines and the right side line ramp is barely visible at all. Not sure what this suggests needs adjustment and would appreciate some help getting into the correct direction.

I did do some looking around and at least it seems i should try 4 base layers only on this according to one of the places i found it hosted. Other than that I’m not sure how to clean it up more

    What is your retraction distance? It almost looks like it’s not leaving the bed enough to allow the resin to flow. I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I messed with mine, but I had issues during setup with it not retracting enough. Maybe add some distance and slow that part down a tad

      I used the default provided, but that’s a good guess I’ll give it a little extra distance and maybe add a little extra wait time after retraction to see if that helps
