Comment on Prints have a ridge

  Suction cupping causes the print to rip from the build plate/supports, it wouldn’t cause this. Especially since it continues along as if a few layers were cut out of the file, which just isn’t something caused by suction cupping. It would essentially need to be stuck to the FEP to such an extreme degree that the stepper motor is unable to move.

    It can cause both, actually.

      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.

      Suction cupping could be a possibility on the sphere, it does not explain why I had ridges on miniature prints.

        A loose FEP film explains the ridges.
