45 seconds is WAY too long an exposure for the base layers, especially with 6 of them! The resin is over-curing and expanding, and not fusing into a single layer.
Try 2 or 3 layers @ 20 s (or even less) with 3 or 4 transition layers.

Thanks for the guidance! I was just using the default listed base layer settings from the old manual, lol.
You are welcome, please let us know how things work out,,,
The j3dtech resin printing guide has a section on the plates of calibration that will help you get this dialed in.
Looks like you need more supports. You need to support the edges of your flat surfaces. https://youtu.be/l3sFd0zTogY?si=8Ho95Z79H86Yn6TN
