The best video I've seen on this topic. No BS... to the point. Thank you.
Telling me not to panic was probably the best thing I've heard yet cause I was definitely panicked. Thank you for the really helpful video.
Great info for us newbies, thanks so much for these, I have my saturn 2 sat in its box and can't use it yet due to house renovations but these printer slicer videos and tips will be invaluable thankyou
Your welcome and glad you find the videos helpful... I know what you mean re printer in a box.. I have an anycubic mono x in a box waiting to unbox n review but I'm working all weekend so itll stay boxed till Monday 😁
Thank you thank you. For this information. This morning I went to my printer to remove a sculpture and the whole back part didn't print so I drained the vat pulled it out and hole was in it and cured and cured resin was everywhere. I cleaned it up as best I could checked the registration square and it was perfect as it's new I just changed it last week. I had just seen your video yesterday and took some alcohol and the yellow plastic scraper all the dried resin came right up I took my time to let it soak and it came right up. My uv screens are really expensive I have a peopoly phenom resin printer. Usually when a spill is that bad I would have to throw the screen away you saved me $140.00 . Thank you again and GOD bless you 🙏 . Happy creating.............
I'm so glad the info helped.., 👍👍👍 thank you for the kind words
Newspaper works a little better than the kitchen roll. It's easier to see when it's wet.
👍
Thank you so much for the screen saving tip! My boyfriend and I were in panic because of a big drop of cured resin on our screen, but it disappeared in seconds, thanks to you 😊
Glad it helped 👍
My friend was gonna throw out his printer in his rich boy tantrum, took it off his hands and followed this and it works like a dream now XD
It's a beautiful thing
I'll be using a spare fep sheet as a screen protector. One product, multiple uses. One week into resin printing, and already dealing with this headache. Amazon plastic razors damaged my polarizing film. Make sure to buy some quality ones. Amazon ones became jagged after a few back and forth a, causing a small tear in the polarizing film
What I did installing my new fep, is pull a tooth pick through the holes before putting in a bolt. Found the screws didn't want to start threading untill I premade the hole.
Thanks for the heads up Steve
I just ordered a used 3d Printer... whoever had it last should have watched your video, they clearly tried to use something metal and scratched up the LCD screen, then gave up and sold the printer.
I removed the remainder of the resin fallowing your method, but now I'm trying to figure out if I can remove these scratches somehow or if I will need to buy another LCD screen.
Gonna try Mr.Cleans magic eraser, I hear that's a decent way to remove scratches.
Thanks man when I saw the resin I allmost have a heart attack but now is allmost clean thanks
Glad it helped 👍👍
A shame I didn't saw this video earlier. I've got resin on my lcd! My thought was "if I cure it I can scrape it off easily". I cured it with an uv torch, and with a shaving razor I tried to peel it off from beneath! Long story short, I peeled off the resin... And the lcd film... Now I have to replace the lcd!!!
This 3D printing lark is an absolute learning curve isn't it hope you get it sorted 👍
Quite helpful, found I have a small smear of resen on my lcd screen and a small build up from a leak I didn't see, as I've been printing nonstop for the last week to make Xmas gifts. Only to find a 3mm lump of resen had leaked out and punctured the fep.
Now that I know I can use a credit card to scrape it off imma do that, was using plastic scraper that came w my printer, but found it to be chewed up something bad.
*me using his credit card number to buy new FEP sheets*
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you, I think you just saved me a ton of money!!! Very much appreciated!!!
Glad it helped
hi from Turkey. my vat leaked this morning then i did this and it solved, thank you for video :)
I'm glad it helped 👍👍👍👍
melhor opção é comprar pelicula protetora
Indeed. It DOES work!
This song made me emotional. Im so sad i ruined my fep in my second day. Here in my country is all so expesinve, also a little crack in the corner of my lcd. Still works. But i just gonna know when the new fep arrived and test the print
how did it go for you, same situation here, second day 4th print and it broke and leaked all over, i tried this method to get the resin off my screen for the past hour and i only removed like 10%. im stuck and dont know what to do now
Takes time sometimes ...put some ipa on tissue or paper towell let it soak..
Thank you. Great information.
thank you, thank you, thank you. worked perfect
Ah glad to hear it 😊
This was great! Exactly what I needed to see
Thank you 👍😁
**Update: My actual screen wasn't damaged, it just looked as though it was by the way the resin had cured (looked like cracked glass all in one corner). I managed to gently lift some (water washable) resin by laying a paper towel dampened in hot tap water over the main edges of cured resin and then used a plastic scraper/razor to gently slide across my screen until I felt a bite... Once I'd found that, the rest kind of just lifted off with a lil added elbow grease here and there... Was actually quite satisfying tbh.
So the only thing I need to actually replace (thank Odin) is my FEP sheet - I think I just went into newbie panic mode when I saw what looked like webbed glass in my screens corner... I feel like I've achieved a milestone in the 3D printing adventure 😅**
- Not only do I have a puncture my FEP, but whatever did it (still unknown) also damaged my screen 😢
It's very unusual for anything to damage the screen
@@greedy3d480 I've never been so happy to be wrong, it just _looked_ like my screen was damaged - comment updated 👍
second day of owning, just figured out how to work the damn thing, 4th print and the FEP broke and leaked all over, i tried this method to get the resin off my screen for the past hour and i only removed like 10%. im stuck and dont know what to do now
I've anycubic mono x6k and while cleaning resin from my screen I cut a little hole in there, I don't know it's like a film in there but could not find a solution.. I don't think that replace the screen??
I recently had a big spill and have had to buy a new screen and FEP, but having been watching your's and other videos about changing the FEP I found nFEP as an alternative. Have you any experience or opinion of using nFEP over std. FEP please?
This topic was raised when I did the live show with the creative collector and we all agreed there's no real difference between fep and nfep the we could ascertain anyway 👍👍
Thanks for the information
No prob.. Just be really careful using metal near ur fep
Hello thank you for the tutorial, you save my life.
I have a question, what do you do when the screw, is stuck with hard resin?
Not come across that do you mean the screw holding the vat in
@@greedy3d480 I mean any screw, the ones that hold the vat, even the ones behind the vat. 😔
First vid that popped up when i searched for resin printer lcd screen spill! Awesome instructional video. I have a side question, do you not if you do a screen exposure test, have an abnormal colored section on your lcd / screen protector now? And is that something that i should be worried about as i do have a differently colored section, even after getting the hardend resin off, and having it soaked in iso 99%!
Sometimes it is inevitable to get some clouding on your screen I have a little bit on mine but I don't really have enough to cause any change to my prints, it's printing really well. I guess it's a lesson for both of us to get a screensaver lol
Thx
👍
big splodge on screen , soaked it in IPA for a bit then i went in with ' a finger nail ' and it all peeled off in a oner , sometimes life is good , sometimes .
Lol.... Sometimes... Agreed 👍
What is the tape called that holds the screen on? Someone recommended Kapton tape but I found that the color bleeds everywhere if you ever get resin on the tape.
My resin printer has been out of action for 2 years now because of cured resin on the screen, i may try and revive it.
Go for it..
. Let me know how it goes
Brilliant.
👍
Mate...but.... is this not a screen protector behind black tape ?... im just sayn cause i thought i have none till i removed it and found out.
Yes.. Yes it is lol
Can you use a tablet screen protector instead. I have been unable to find a screen protector replacement for my anycubic photon 2
I'm note sure tbh a question for the wider community 👍
Did get mine from Amazon
Thanks, anyways,@@greedy3d480 . Welp, i guess it's experimentation time, if i don't manage to get the resin off the current foil, at least.
I had to do this with my new printer. Question, how do i know if the FEP i installed is too tight?
I've never had any issue just changing the fep without doing anything special and it's always, always worked there's a number of videos on RUclips which discussed the correct tension in a fep but I honestly feel that too much emphasis is placed on perfection. I've heard people using bottle tops and rolled tissues to get the right tension but I think it's a preference I'd have a look at the internet and see what others recommend on specific videos but just try changing your fab printing I'm sure it will be fine
@greedy3d480 fair enough, I noticed the screws were hard to turn in fully on my mono x2, I suspect the sheet was too tight honestly. Will look for a video to suggest a spacer size
@@shotgun2010 I'm not sure how your fep tightness would affect the screws to be honest
Better than chipping at the resin: Stick some duct tape to it and pull. I had to pull 4 or 5 times but I got all the resin off of my screen in under a minute.
Will have to try that
Thxxx!!
Still got some clouding on the lcd that I can‘t get rid of. It’s more like I’m smearing it on top of the screen. Is there any way to get rid of it or can I leave it like it is?
Try printing something see how it goes I've had clouding on mine for a while with no issues... But try it fingers crossed
My vat broke on the second print after only 2 days of having the printer. Ive been trying everything to remove the resin but it refuses to come off
Sorry for maybe a dumb question but is there a screen protector on it
@greedy3d480 yeah, turns out they had a scratch resistant film on the screen. Not an actual screen protector but still. Thing fit so well i had to double check when the manufacturer stated that.
Oh well a Windsor win better than nothing at all lol 😆
@@greedy3d480 definitely
There is a much easier and less risky method to use. Try using a piece of masking tape to peel the resin off the screen.
I've heard hit and miss views of this tbh.. But I'll happily try it.. Thank you for the comment 😁👍
What printer is it as a Mars 2 pro does have a factory fitted screen protector according to Elegoo. The Saturn 2 also as a tempered glass plate protector over the screen. Failing that a cae windscreen scraper should work to get resin from the screen ;-)
Was a Saturn
