New to resin printing, setting suggestion for Mars 5 Ultra, ABS-like 3.0 Grey

Hi everyone,

I'm new to resin printing but I've been interested for a while. I tried my first print today, it didn't go well, the resin stuck to the vat, I suspect because of incorrect settings.

My printer is the Mars 5 Ultra, I'm using Elegoo ABS-like 3.0 resin (grey) and my slicing software is chitubox. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestions for some starting settings that I can key in? Totally understand that I will need to mess around with the settings but having a possible starting point would be amazing.

(also in case it helps I'm planning to use it to print miniatures for tabletop)

Thanks so much in advance for helping out this newbie!

EDIT: My base layers were set to 25 seconds, which is why I think it didn’t stick?

First time print failure (minor spill) please advise

I recently got an Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra and today I tried printing for the first time. Long story short, the prince didn’t stick to the base plate, pretty sure that was a Settings issue but when I removed the VAT, I didn’t think to take out the base plate and I had two drops of resin roughly where those red circles are, fortunately they didn’t land on the LCD screen. I cleaned them but I need to be worried?
