That’s what I get for not checking my vat before starting a print right after another one.
Oh oof, it happened to a friend of mine as well, not fun.
Not fun to fix, either.
Well that's a $70 fuck up...

Not looking forward to it that’s for sure
I’ll just have to add it to the list of things I’m fixing on Saturday
Hopefully it fits nicely in the schedule without much trouble

I think this happened to me as well. I had something pop my FEP film, and I replaced it, and tried a couple prints, but really didn’t like the whole resin experience, so I sold my printer.
When the buyer got it home, he told me the screen was cracked. We weren’t sure whether it happened in transit or not, and I’d given him a pretty great price on the thing with a washing machine and a ton of resin, so he decided he didn’t want any money back.
After learning more about resin printers since then, I now it this was my fault and I feel bad about it. Either way, I’ve definitely learned to check the major components before buying or selling something.

I don’t own an SLA printer. Where is the fuckup?

From context, I’m guessing that there were broken parts of the print in the back, obscured by the resin. When the bed came down to start the new print, it pushed the broken parts from the last one into the screen, breaking it.

Basically exactly what happened.
I didn’t even notice the bits missing from the print as it was still being rinsed in the alcohol.
The head of one of the minis I was printing for a friend popped off and I didn’t notice before starting the second batch of dudes and then CRUNCH $70 dollars for a new part to be on the way.
