FEP liner should be as clean as possible.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
If the print finishes and there is nothing on the build platform, there can be three
potential reasons:
The first layers did not cure enough and the print has fallen off the Printing
Platform. Increase the base cure time. For Monoprice resins, the base cure time
should be 60 seconds. Other resins may require different amounts of time.
The Printing Platform did not level correctly. Verify that there are no small
particles from previous prints in the resin vat, as this will disrupt the leveling
process. Keeping the resin vat clear of small pieces of cured resin in an absolute
necessity.
Run the "Clear" function on the Control Menu to verify that the LCD screen is
turning on and off.
2.
If the first layers are present, but the rest of the model is missing, there can be two
reasons:
The cure time for the resin in not long enough. The model likely fell into the vat
and it will be necessary to remove it before attempting to print again. The
default exposure time for Monoprice resins is 8 seconds for layers other than the
first three layers.
The model has insufficient supports. Add additional supports to compensate for
the weight of the model during printing.
