That’s what I get for not checking my vat before starting a print right after another one.

Edit: For those that don’t know there’s supposed to be a nice little screen sized rectangle visible without the fancy looking lowercase “t” pattern.

The screen is broken and needs replacement. So does the FEP as it didn’t fair too well either but I already have a few on hand just in case things go sideways.

Edit 2: For anyone who’s curious the whole process took me 2 hours to complete. I went in blind and it’s good as new if not better. Honestly it’s working hella good to the point where I actually had to lower my exposure time because my stuff was now getting overexposed. It’s amazing what a new FEP and LCD will do.

    I think this happened to me as well. I had something pop my FEP film, and I replaced it, and tried a couple prints, but really didn’t like the whole resin experience, so I sold my printer.

    When the buyer got it home, he told me the screen was cracked. We weren’t sure whether it happened in transit or not, and I’d given him a pretty great price on the thing with a washing machine and a ton of resin, so he decided he didn’t want any money back.

    After learning more about resin printers since then, I now think it was my fault and I feel bad about it. Either way, I’ve definitely learned to check the major components before buying or selling something.
