Boneheaded move caused failed print - Mars 5 Ultra - Sunlu ABS-Like Resin

So after failing to secure the build plate with the latch, the print was an astounding fail.

A main chunk fell off into the vat so that has been fished out.

Using the rubber spatula, I've ran it along the bottom and felt no resistance or bumps. Will be trying out the Vat Cleaning feature for the first time just to be on the safe side.

After using the feature:

  1. Do people tend to do a full clean?

  2. Just use the spatula to find any bumps instead?

  3. Does anyone have something different they do?

Watched a YouTube video where they used the vat clean feature, then ran the spatula around and fired up the printer again.

Cheers!

Been tinkering with some colours for the beginnings of my old school Ork army while out working at camp (reason for the makeshift painting and photo studio).

Really happy with how he turned out. Working with inks and brighter, more vibrant colours was a challenge, but it gives me that 90s, warm tingly feeling.

A few things that I'll change up going forward, but otherwise, I've got an army to print, build and paint.
