Looking for a little help. I've had my Photon for going on 6 months now without much issue (one broken screen which I replaced). A few weeks ago my z screw began making a squeaking noise as the build plate lowered, and I started to see some issues with my prints. The first few images are of the bottom jaw of a dragon I am printing. If you look at the supported file/screenshot, that's what the connection is meant to look like. The images of the clear blue resin are of how that connection piece printed. Very heavy buildup of resin which I did not see in the slice file at all.
I figured it was a result of the z screw not being well lubricated, so I coated it with some white lithium grease, which stopped the squeaking. It still seems that the printer is having some trouble in the first few hundred layers however. I tried printing some open forge tiles, which came out great on 3 of 4 sides, but the side closest to the build plate came out quite warped on all 6 tiles. The print was quite securely adhered to the build plate, so I can't imagine it was a suction issue, and the tiles do seem quite well supported.
My slicer settings are:
Base layers: 8
Base exposure: 80 sec
Layer exposure : 12 sec (.05) and 10 sec (.02)
The jaw was printed at .02 and the tiles were .05
Any thoughts?
