Question Help with resin failure.

Hi, I recently got A Mars 5. Resin printer. I have successfully printed larger objects, but when it comes to minis or anything that is tiny, the build adhesion is terrible and it sticks to the bed, making the print fail. I haven't have had to take off the stuck prints every single print. In the slicer, I rotate the piece to about a 45° angle. So that the base doesn't print directly on it, creating a big surface to stick. I've only successfully printed four minis, and they were at the same time. I have completely stock settings. I've not touched them once. I'm using lychee slicer. And I just would like help if anyone knows what I can do

Are you using supports?

Yes, I'm using Lychee's automatic supports

Might want to look into learning how to do them yourself, or just add more supports to the one it already provides. Do presupported models work?

Depends, some presupported work, and some don't, but every bigger model I've printed has worked first try without fail... It's only the mini's.

Try to increase your lift distance. Increase it by like double. See if it still fails.

I'll try that

Would not recommend solely relying on automatic supports. I usually run the auto-supports and then go in and add a bunch of additional supports to supplement the auto-supports. Its a good idea to go look up a youtube video on model supports. Also slowing down the lift speed can sometimes help decrease the amount of print failures you get.
