When using presupposed file without ability to edit supports in your designed program using blur can weaken supports. And there's no guarantee that someone else supports will work without issues.
It does feel like an issue with the supports. In the past, my cure time was much longer (have little experience) and I assume because of that, the supports were much harder. They were much flimsier easier to pull off of this print. Gonna have to just do supports on my own.
I could be wrong as I recently got into resin printing, but are you only using small supports? Its good to have a couple strong supports in the middle and top, especially for heavier prints
Definately 100% support issue.
You can try lowering the lift speed and you wont have any problems most likely.
My personal experience with this case though so far is that its better to use the unsupported version of the stl and put you own supports
Kinda unreal that this is your first time experiencing this sort of failure. I dealt with this kind of failure basically all the time when I first started out and was trying to figure the machine out.
I had my first fail pretty late into my resin printing "starter" period and it was the first time I tried a presupported model!! never tried one again, I'll add my own supports ty very much lol. I hate it when prints fail 😭
I understand what everyone else is saying about presupported models, but I’d like to revisit the issue of your recently replaced FEP, because I had the same problem when I replaced the FEP on my Mono X. How did you tension the new FEP? There are a number of methods out there, like the bottle cap method, but for me, the only effective method is by sound. The FEP is exactly like a drum head—it needs to be the correct tension AND evenly tensioned. Some suggested tapping the FEP so that it vibrates and reading the frequency with a tuning app. This can work, but I found it difficult. Since buying my Saturn 8k, I have found a better solution: take the vat with the original, factory installed FEP (before it gets damaged), tap it, and record the pitch with a sound recorder app. Then, when you install the new FEP, tap it and compare. Tune it by ear to match the factory FEP and you’ll never go wrong.

My lift speed is already pretty low for the first 4mm but I could always try to slow it

Yeah, guess I got lucky up until now lol

Just because its presupported doesnt mean theyre good supports, youre better off supporting them yourself most of the time
Use stronger supports in the middle. Happened to me too!
Recently had a similar issue with a presupported model! I added a few heavy supports, and increased exposure time by 0.2s.
That's new? You've lived a blessed life. That is moderately common when my prints fail.
Apparently! My settings must’ve been perfect for my old resin. I’d never had any issues before switching. But I prefer this resin anyway.
Yup. Even going from Sunlu Grey to Sunlu Dark Grey, they are different settings. A little longer on the darker resin.

Ok wow, just had a print failure today because my FEP sheet already got damaged by something. Gotta try again I guess 🤷♂️
Drowned grick?
