<p>I'm new to printing resin miniatures for Dungeons &amp; Dragons and most of my prints are successful, i.e. one or more miniatures print as expected.</p>

<p>However when I have multiple minis on the build plate the one in the middle works okay but the ones on the edges don't adhere to the build plate.</p>

<p>Should I limit myself to one or two minis in the center of the build plate? Or should it work and I just need to get my settings correct?</p>

<p>Note I'm using a Beam 3D Prism printer.</p>

If your built plate is level and your tank is firmly fastened down you should have no problems.</p>\n<p>What I have found is the my slicer (Chitubox) will sometimes corrupt the base layer if I print multiple models.

About 105% usually does it for me. Otherwise the problem might be the geometry of the models that you\'re printing.
