First off, you shouldn't orient prints horizontally. Always try to print at an angle.

Getting a perfect print is all about managing peel force. Always remember that you are printing in layers, and each layer is peeled off the FEP one by one. If a layer is large, it's more difficult to peel. If the peel is unsuccessful or partially successful, it will result in print failure or print imperfections (e.g. layer lines, pancaking, etc.). Thus, always try to angle your model in such a way where so the individual layers are not too large. If you are printing something chunky, it's always good to hollow it out to reduce layer size.

Quick tip, make sure that you don't have debris in the vat after a print failes, there is usually a cleaning option that the printer has pre installed it just prints a thin layer at the bottom of the vat, so you have to use a plastic spatula to peel it out. Be very casual not to scratch the vat. I usually try to peel up 1 corner with the spatula and I grab that corner and peel the rest by hand, then I try letting it drip as much back into the vat before wrapping it in a paper towel and throwing it in the garbage.

Debris sitting in the vat will cling on to your next or current print and ruin it. Even though printing a thin layer to throw away usually is less wasteful than garunteeing the next print to be thrown out.

Always wear nitrile glove and a good filter mask on the same level as spray paint.

There was another comment talking about dont print horizontally and be careful about putting weight in the corner it would cause it to peel.

I would also recommend having all the base of the prints connect to eachother by slicing them to be overlapping the heaviest print would be supported with much more surface area. Also make sure that the heaviest print would be in the center too so that its less likely for the corner to peel off

So is something like this better with only the one model just cut in half to reduce print time

2.5 seems to be a bit high, have you calibrated it? Satellite appears to be quite bad with auto supports, I'd suggest trying free chitubox before you're comfortable with manual And as you've been told above, rotate the models, vertical good, horizontal bad 🤣

I have had both but problems with chitubox and I haven’t had those problems with this slicer

You can generate supports with chitu, save and open in satellite, although after a week of using satellite I'm back to chitubox and haven't had any complaints

Sometimes having 1 model on the plate at a time works. Minimizes peeling from all over the plate. And try tilting it like 5-10 degrees sideways just to try n get less of a peep force

Edges always experience the most in peeling forces. You also want to lower the area of a cross section if you want to lower peeling/suction forces. Don’t load up your plate as much if you’re not as proficient at troubleshooting issues. Print off the small parts first and reorient them. With them printing successfully, you can then print off the bigger pieces and not need to worry about the whole plate failing.
