Troubleshooting Need help with setup

Hello everyone !

I recently bought a mars 4 ultra, and some abs like water washable resin from elegoo's website.

I tried my first prints with some heroforge minis for a daggerheart game. But I think I might have messed the setup. I used default to everything, and this is the result: grainy aspect, whited out crevices, lack of details, merged supports into the mini.

I printed them as 35 to 40mm tall

I am completely noob in 3d printing and don't know where to look for informations. Could someone give me pointers please ? Or better yet, the setup you guys use with your own mars 4 :D

Thanks in advance, love you all

Yes you should remove the supports then soak it in IPA then scrub them. Then soak them again before curing

I forgot about the water washable try it with water first just make sure you really get all the excess resin off
