Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

This sphere has a ridge on it, and I've had miniatures come out with the base to be slightly offset giving a bit of a ridge.

I'm using a Halot One, lychee Slicer, and Anycubic Water Wash resin.

A loose FEP wouldn’t cause the print to essentially perfectly skip over multiple layers. Once the FEP finally releases, there would be multiple layers missing, resulting in a very gloppy thick layer, or the remaining layers printing directly on the FEP.

I can’t think of any situation a loose FEP could result in the above image without at the very least one “extremely large” layer.

Not to mention, the FEP wouldn’t suddenly tighten, meaning you’d have the same issue over and over.
