My problem with PrusaSlicer was that those supports were a bit too heavy, and were very difficult to remove. That being said... I'm only about 4 prints in, and am still trial and erroring my way through a bit of it. I probably just need to reduce them a bit (or really I think I had over exposure on the ones that were hard to remove).
Right now my biggest issue is some prints stick well to the bed, some don't. Between all prints I filtered the resin in the vat, and cleaned everything down with Sprayway cleaner.
The first print (the Anycubic Cube) turned out perfect.
My next print on my own everything fell of the print bed. I suspect I had too little curing so it stuck to the FEP a bit better? (Everything likes to stick to that FEP, lol).
The third print I hollowed everything out and added relief holes (to reduce suction)... re-zeroed the bed a little closer to the screen, put some pieces on 45 angles, some left with their base flush with the plate (as they were support free minis)... 75% made it through the print successfully (one of the flush ones failed). I noticed my prints were much more securely stuck to the bed.
My final print everything was hollowed out, mix of sliced in PrusaSlicer and ChiTuBox came out, but I used a smaller layer height and I don't believe I lowered my exposure time enough, as everything was DEFINITELY cured when it came out. This is the one where I had a hard time removing the Prusa supports (but the ChiTuBox light supports came off wonderfully).
Here's all my prints so far!

My biggest questions so far is at what layer height should I be printing at? Are some better at others for getting solid first layers. I know in FDM you use a .2mm layer for your first layer, then go to finer detail if you need it.
Do some resins do better than others for adhesion to the bed (and less adhesion to the FEP)?
Are translucent resins bad for detail? I'd imagine you get scattering... but maybe not. I picked up a bottle of Elogoo Grey Resin ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCLLNFY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) that I'm excited to try out.
Does the FEP just get less sticky over time?
It’s not so much the model that defines the settings, but the resin. I used Elegoo gray. Here are my ChituBox settings for this resin.
Amazon, all show available to me.
