I have been having issues lately and people here have been very helpful in getting me going again. I have a Photon Mono 2.

• Replaced the FEP because it had lost it's elasticity.
• Tuned the FEP to be within proper range.
• Cleaned off the screen.
• Re-levelled the bed.
• Test print of the AnyCubic cube worked fine.

I had a print job with some WW2 tanks that didn't crowd the bed and they weren't touching. I printed it not only once, but four times on this past Friday. Everything went perfectly.

I tried to print the same test job on Saturday. The first job failed 100%. The second failed 80%. Some of the print jobs were just flat slaps at the bottom of the fep. Others had fallen in and had some solidity.

I tried to print again. 80% failed again today.

What can cause the problem? I went from multiple successes with the same file. I am trying to print one more time. Nothing has changed. The weather was even pretty much the same between the first 2 days. The humidity hasn't changed much at all.

My size 1 socket socks keeps having the holes get bigger and bigger. I just got some new ones not that long ago and in 2 weeks they were as bad as the others. What do you do to stop it? I've even borrowed a sewing machine and was thinking of trying to sew the hole smaller, but I really have no idea how to sew.

What do I mean? I take my foot off and the size 1 peg hole is halfway up my nub.

I've been 3D printing for a few years now and I'm on my 2nd or 3rd Anycubic printer. I have a AnyCubic Photon Mono 2. It's not the newest, but it's been working fine.

I re-set up my garage recently with the warmer weather. I now have a little ventilation tent with a ventilation duct and fan for it since I started to smell the resin in the house. That's worked great for 2-3 weeks with no issue.

I print pre-supported ww2 minis from a company called 3DBreed. I've used them for years and usually have no issue with them. I have been printing 15mm infantry. Each one is a separate file that I add to the job. and can get anywhere from 20-35 or so on a build plate. I've been printing fine for 2-3 weeks.

I started to have a few of the minis fail. They fell off the supports and were flat 2D guys I had to scrap off my vat. Then, I had about 2/3 fail. I had been slowly adding a new bottle of AnyCubic Pro resin to the vat as it needed it and thought that maybe the resin was bad. So, I cleaned out the vat and opened a fresh bottle of AnyCubic Pro resin. I just ran a print job that did work 2 weeks ago for a test. It was a total failure! Nothing printed. The build plate was all just flat platforms with failed prints on the bottom of the vat.

I looked at the weather and it's been about the same for the past few weeks. I have checked humidity, but it's not really changed. It's in the garage. It's been working fine in this setup for a bit.

I am at a lose. Help me Obi-wan-Reddit. You are my only hope.
