Resin Tank Level Below Minimum - Insufficient Resin for Print
Quick Answer
Error code RESIN_LOW on your Elegoo Resin (SLA/MSLA) 3D Printers means: Resin Tank Level Below Minimum - Insufficient Resin for Print. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Likely Causes
  1. Resin tank level has dropped below the sensor threshold during a long print
  2. Resin is too viscous (cold environment) and has not settled evenly triggering a false low reading
  3. Resin level sensor is dirty or coated with cured resin particles
  4. Air bubbles in the resin are causing an inaccurate level reading
How to Fix It
1
Check the actual resin level in the vat and add more resin if it is genuinely low
2
Gently stir the resin (avoid introducing bubbles) to distribute it evenly and allow the sensor to read correctly
3
If the resin is cold and viscous, allow it to warm to room temperature (20-25C) before printing
4
Clean the resin level sensor with a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol
5
Let freshly poured resin settle for 5-10 minutes before starting a print to allow air bubbles to escape
Pro Tip
This is a common issue that most users can resolve without specialized tools. Try the first step before moving on to more complex solutions.
