I recommend around 73 - 80 F in the room. Anything too cold can be a problem for the resin and anything too hot can be a problem for the projector.

Re: prints just started failing
Print is half way through and it all looks good so far, so thanks all for the advice. I presume it was just the RGB issue although I hadn't changed it at all. Will upload pictures when the print completes.

Re: prints just started failing
Did you have an update to windows? If you have Win10, it doesn't matter if you have updates turned off. It's sneaky and will still update through a back door. Win updates will sometimes overwrite system file and revert things back to Normal mode.

Re: prints just started failing
I presume so, because I didn't change the settings and I'm sure I have windows updates turned off. Still, at least I'll know what to look for next time it happens.
Re: prints just started failing
I had a similar situation where it looked like your second photo. I was growing a ring with recess lettering ( simple font) . My cause we're insufficient amount of supports even though I used automatic support function in the software. Turned out was best to mill out. Hope my post helps.

Re: prints just started failing
Automatic supports cannot get into fine areas to support recessed lettering, especially since the ring had them on all sides and also had fine protruding details on all sides. Need to support all the overhangs using manual supports (can be used in conjunction with auto supports). Using manual supports you have greater control on where to put them in order to save the tiny details. Ultimately for complex rings its good practice to split the ring into parts that makes it easier to print and then put it together later.
