My Form1+ was basically mothballed for 10 months due to serious illness, now over. I had cleaned the unit up, put in a new build tray and covered it with a large satin cloth. There it sat on the work table. Resin was at least 12 months old also.

Yesterday I fired the unit back up. Put the resin in the build tray, set a couple of jobs and off it went without any issues at all. I do put a bit of silicone grease on the Z screw, very little. Did this when I got the printer and again yesterday when I fired it up. I didn't even dust the mirrors..... forgot to.

Here's a photo of one of the prints. It's a Dust Cyclone in 1:48 scale. This is just a test print as I'll need to make some changes to the drawing and also to the support locations. Wish I could also change the orientation but that's another matter.
