That means resin all over the printer and all over your workspace.

I wanted to re-visit this.
I've had stuff fall into my vat, but, if I
ever think there's an issue, I put some sprue in the corner of the tray and do an exposure. Then drain and clean the FEP.
Additionally. If you're having an issue with things not sticking to your build plate, get thee some sandpaper and "rough up" your build plate. It may feel smooth to you, but all the micro gouges give the resin some nice places to grip (over the,
hopefully, smooth FEP).
I had the issue with some map-scale dropships and the 12-sided d4s sticking. So I washed my build plate, gave it a good sanding with some 320-grit sandpaper. Washed the plate again,
thoroughly. Slapped it back on and it was great.
