Screen's end of life ?

Those black dots ? Yep, screen is dead. You bought it in 2023 ? Either you don't print often, or you're very lucky. Prints don't hold for long across multiple prints. It's perfectly normal, ask yourself : why your printer has a 1 year warranty, except the screen which has a 6 months warranty ? And a

Do you still need to set wait before/after print times on the photon?

Photon Workshop supports transition and light off delay. I always use some level of delay, depending on the viscosity of resins, as well as ambient temperature. You will also get significantly faster print times using the Photon Workshop settings over Chitu, I haven't got down to exactly why but as
