Recently did a full clean on my Mono M7 Pro. Issue I was having before was a residue detected message (despite the fact there was none). Could ignore it and it'd print fine, but I thought redoing it all may help that message go away. I cleaned the vat, put on a new NFEP sheet and screen protector, and cleaned the build plate. Well it did get that message to go away, but then came the new issues:

Now when I go to print, it tells me there's a leveling error. I have re-leveled the printer 3 times to no avail. This isn't my first printer and I've been doing this for years, so I at least know the process well. The leveling test says it failed and gives me a QR code to their website. Even following their steps, it just gives the failure message. I can ignore this, but again, an annoyance.

Next issue is it now says there isn't enough material in the vat. I'm not sure why, and its never said this before. The vat is literally filled to just under the max line and I've just been attempting to run a calibration test print. I'm not sure where the sensor is, but there's no reason it should be failing when it was fine two days ago. If someone could point me to where this sensor even is, that may help.

And to cap it all off, even if I ignore all the messages and click continue, the prints work, but at a snails pace. I have changed zero slicer/resin settings since I redid all the stuff. I verified that the settings carried over and they did. (2.8 sec exposure, 5.0 retreat speed, 2.5 lift speed are the main numbers). For this test print, it said 25 minutes left until complete. When I went back after 25 minutes had elapsed to check, it said 23 min. So it made 2 minutes of progress in that time. I've tried turning off intelligent release, but this didn't do anything.

I have releveled, mechanically calibrated many times, and pulled the vat off to verify there is nothing under it, same for the area around the screen/heater connection. Nothing works. Can anyone help me out here?
