Correcting Bent Parts

I just printed a mini and I think during the curing process it fell over and cured the spear into almost a "j". Can I use hot water to fix this or is it a write off and have to print again?

Maximum Quality on a Saturn 2

I've had my Saturn 2 Printer for a while now and I've had to move it to a warmer environment. It was pretty much at the default settings for a long time and I had no complaints. But then I moved and it had to go in the garage (not happy with that but that's the way it's gonna be for a little bit).

Anyways that got me thinking. Since A) I had to recalibrate it and B) don't really care if it takes a long time to print, what are the most important settings I can change to increase the quality of my prints?

I usually use it to print minis that I paint. No way I can paint fast enough to keep up with it! 😁

BTW, the temperature is usually 80-90°F (26-32°C) which seems to be a pretty good temperature to print at. I was honestly surprised by that. And I usually use ABS-Like resin.

Translucent vs Opaque

Is there a difference in the cure time for translucent ABS-Like resin (5mm thick) vs opaque ABS-Like resin? First time printing translucent resin. When I took it off the build plate to clean it, it seemed like it was slightly more brittle than my opaque prints.

Thanks!
