Resin failures usually come from exposure, plate adhesion, supports, suction, lift settings, hollowing, or washing/curing workflow. Diagnose plate failure before changing every support setting.

What this page helps with
resin print fails, resin supports, resin not sticking, suction, hollowing, drain holes, sticky resin prints.
Use this as a landing page first, then jump to the most specific detailed guide below.
What it looks like
- Print stays on FEP instead of plate
- Supports tear away
- Hollow prints crack
- Surfaces stay sticky
- Large flat areas fail from suction
What usually causes it
- Exposure or lift settings are wrong
- Build plate adhesion is poor
- Supports are undersized or badly placed
- Hollow model lacks drain holes
- Wash/cure process is incomplete
Do this in order
- Confirm plate leveling and bottom exposure before changing model supports.
- Add drain holes and avoid trapped resin in hollow models.
- Increase support strength only where needed.
- Reduce suction with orientation and hollowing choices.
- Follow safe wash/cure handling and ventilation practices.

FAQ
Fast answers
What should I check first?
Resin failures usually come from exposure, plate adhesion, supports, suction, lift settings, hollowing, or washing/curing workflow. Diagnose plate failure before changing every support setting.
Should I change many slicer settings at once?
No. Make one controlled change, test again, and save the working result in Profile Vault. Random setting changes make print failures harder to diagnose.
When should I use AI Doctor?
Use AI Doctor when the symptom is unclear, when the print failed in multiple ways, or when you want to connect a failed-print photo to the right guide path.
