Elegoo S4U - how to set a wait after tilt down?

[madrew233]

I'm currently struggling with the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra. The Tilting vat is great and generally leads to a higher success rate.

However, I have problems with larger prints which are not seperating from time to time and leading to 3-5 visible layer lines per print. With a classic z-lift printer, I would set a wait or rest after z-lift to make it easier for the model to seperate from the PFA film by the pre tension.
However, this option is not available in tilt mode. This can only be set between normal and fast speed on the printer itself. Thats it.

I can set an additional z-lift in UV Tools. However, the z-lift only starts when the VAT has reached the lower point and tilts up again in parallel. However, "wait before lift" is working correctly after exposure and before the tilt mode.

Is it somehow possible to execute a complete machine pause in the GCode immediately before the z-lift, if the Vat is also at the lowest point at the same time? However, this may not work because the down and up movement of the X-axis runs independently as soon as it is started.

Or do you have any other ideas on how I can achieve a wait after tilt down?

Looking forward to your help!

I have no clue how these machines works, but changing things outside what file format allows (Or even when allows) will not work.
Everything you can change is under Tools -> Edit print parameters. Do some dry runs with different values there and see if any combination helps.
