Update: The Blob Chronicle woes culprit was not resin related nor was it caused by defective LCD. It turns out my main board was faulty, giving intermittent output and variable results. Some times good prints but mostly failed prints including the blobs, making it extremely difficult to diagnose the problem and caused a lot of confusion on my part and to the very kind photonsters who were very nice to help me with my problem. I got my main board from Anycubic and although, I haven’t had the time to test it out thoroughly yet, my first 3 prints since the main board replacement have been successful

The case of the mystery blob: Solved.
After 24 hours of almost non-stop printing and thru trials and many, many errors, I can now conclude that the blob was caused by 2 incompatible resins mixed together. What confounded this mystery was that at least one of the photonsters in this group, mixed the same kind of resins in similar percentages and yet got very good results. Thank you for the many Sherlock Holmes in this group for providing inputs and possible theories. Special mention to Sen Kun for his guidance and valuable insights. The 6th and finally successful print is a monocure calibration model downloaded from their website, using monocure rapid clear with the following settings: .040, 12, 2, 60, 6. Resins used resulting in blob (model was supposed to be a 20 mm XYZ cube) were anycubic gray with 20% Flex100. Lesson learned (at least for me) = only mix Monocure Flex100 with the same brand (Monocure Rapid).
