Print issues with new M7 Max

the first few plates were flawless, but after maybe the third or fourth print, I started having an issue. So I've had my new M7 Max for about a week--the first few plates were flawless, but after maybe the third or fourth print, I started having an issue with the middle and front of the plate just not adhering to the print bed and instead just getting stuck to the fep after the first few bottom layers. Here's what I've done so far: ⁠Confirmed that the resin has been calibrated ⁠Releveled the bed ⁠Confirmed optimal (30c) temperature* Tried increasing lift height (from 8mm to 10mm) and decreasing lift speed (6mm to 4mm) Changed bottom layer exposure (30s to 50s) The temperature thing is iffy at best, because although I've pre-heated before printing and confirmed that the "heat while printing" option is selected, during a print, the sides of the vat are cool to the touch. I know the heating during printing feature was added as an update, and I confirmed that I’m on the most current version of the firmware. I have a new fep on the way, but I'm wondering if there are just some idiosyncrasies with Anycubic machines or larger printers that I'm missing (all of my other machines over the past four years have been Elegoo Saturns), so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What's the best large format printer?

Both the GK3 Ultra and Phrozen Mega seem to have disproportionately high issue rates with the Uniformation being explicitly manufactured below spec. If you must have a large format today, the safe bets are the 7k(6k...) Anycubic Max models. The M7 adds some small degree of antialiasing and release / force sensing along with COB light source to the already reliable M3 Max design.
