Is it cold where your printer is?
Somewhat. It's in my basement and it usually hovers around 50* in there until the summer (which it is not).
I'm assuming you don't mean 50C. This is your problem. You need to buy or build a heating solution for your printer. There are many commercial products available. You need a temperature 75F or higher for resins before you print. Some print best at 80F+.
Once you get the temperature taken care of 6 seconds will likely be too high of an exposure time for a monochrome LCD printer.
Exactly. I was printing fine, then winter came, and everything started to fail. Got a cheap fermentation Heating Belt wrapped around my vat and everything was working great again Then I wasn't being diligent about cleaning my plate and started getting fails until I realized the issue.
