Having issues printing with clear resin, any advice appreciated! (lemmy.world)

Hey 3D printing peoples, I am struggling to get anything to print with this new clear resin I just ordered. I am using a Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K and Phrozen Clear resin, with Lychee slicer. I downloaded the community "high transparency" resin profile and have tweaked it loads of times, but I can never seem to get past the initial bottom layers. I am trying to print something pretty simple as a test but it seems like this resin just doesn't want to solidify my supports. I've adjusted to larger supports with higher density and longer exposure times, but this clear resin just eludes me. Does anyone have experience with high transparency resin that can offer advice? I really want to make a "dark crystal" for a friend but can't seem to make it happen. Thank you!

Thank you, I had never needed these before. I ended up just increasing the exposure time from 2 second to 10 seconds! And slowing down the return speed a bit. Still messing with exposure to try to get an even more transparent result.
