This is the second time this has happened. It looks like it added part of the model on to the side. Is it my slicer? I'm using a Creality Halot Mage, and Chitubox 1.9.5 because that is the only slicer I've gotten to work on Fedora that supports my printer that I've found. I'm completely new to all things 3d printing. This is my first printer and that is my sixth print in the picture.

I bet you printed this huge thing flat in the build plate?

Not the OP, but what do you mean by this? I feel there's an implication that it should be laid out a different way?

Contrary to fdm printing, resin printing doesn't like large xy cross-sections because that means huge forces between the part and the fep.
This suction and pulling can lead to delamination of layers.

You typically want to angle parts and spam a bunch of supports. Which really is usually the opposite of what you wanna do on an fdm printer.

Ah, I did not pick up on this being a resin printer. Thanks for the info, I'm not too aware on the tech behind resin
