Prints have a ridge (lemmy.world)

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.

Pauses do weird things with 3D printing, though it’s generally better with resin printers, it will still suffer. Higher end models have ways of compensating, but will still see weirdness.

It’s generally a loss of precision/placement of the bed, and (on some faulty firmware) missed layers from the read.

This looks like it could be the latter, or potentially even both.

I’d definitely try again without a pause, and if it goes properly just avoid pausing moving forward. A firmware update wouldn’t be a bad idea either, if available.

I updated to the newest firmware before I started printing (I've only had it for a month or so).

I'll try without the pause, and then look into the z axis of that doesn't solve the problem.
