White film collecting in bottom of resin tank

Postby TJLuxe » Sun Mar 13, 2016 12:31 am

Hello,

I am using Emerald resing and haven't printed anything for a few days... When I went to set up a print I looked underneath the resin take and there is a white film collecting inside the resin. Is this normal? Is the resin inside the tank contaminated? Will this affect my print if I go forward with it? If it is a problem, how would i go about cleaning it out? I am not supposed to touch the inside film right? Any insight is appreciated, Thank You!

Mixed it up the best I could and got as much of it off the bottom as I could. Went ahead with the print and it cam out... I will post a picture when it settles to the bottom again.

I would think the white stuff is moisture getting in the tank somehow. If I clean a print in water and Dawn for to long it comes out with a white coating on the print.
