Hi Frank, seems straight forward ,you got this. Surprising how much carbon build up from using the laser, I though Sculpfun would have a tool to remove the lens when you bought it. as always a great video, take care catch you next time 😁😁👍
😁 Hi Shaun, its surprising how much build up there is. I now have air assist that I have to fit and im hoping this will cut down on the build up. I'm sure there is a tool but the tweezers worked out OK in the end. Catch you soon mate 😁👍
🤔 Imagine what it does to your lungs. Thats why I've now got a dedicated extractor, just got to build an enclosure to put it all in. A project for the new year I think 😁. Happy Christmas James, hope you have a good one 🎅👍
Saya telah mencoba berbagai macam cara untuk melepas, tetapi tetap tidak bisa lepas. Spertinya pada awal pemasangan terlalu kuat. Apakah ada cara lain untuk melepasnya? Terima kasih
Hi Eko, i don't think there is an alternative ☹️. Unless you can make some kind of tool yourself that has less flexibility in it (I.e. it is a little bit more rigid). But you must be careful that you don't damage the location holes or you will never get it out ☹️. I suspect if you try to access it from the other side you may disrupt the position of the diodes which will stop it working properly. You may be able to carefully file down a pair of needle nose pliers which would give you some more leverage. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😁👍
😃 Nice suggestion Rod. I think you may be on to something there with the circlip pliers. They would be better to initially loosen the lens. But I think the only ones I have are far too big and have seen far too much action, but a new set may be the perfect solution. Thanks for the idea. And thanks for watching Rod 😁👍
😁 Hi Sunny. I was sent these directly from Sculpfun. So that would be a good place to start www.sculpfun.com/products/sculpfun-s9-lens-red-acrylic-cover?_pos=1&_sid=ef4172ece&_ss=r I think they are also available on Amazon if that is easier. I don't have any kind of affiliate link or discount sorry. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😁👍
@Znegil 🤔 To be honest Znegil I really do not know, but it would be great to find out. If I had an ultrasonic bath I would probebly replace the originals with new ones and then try the bath on the old units 🤔. That way you would minimise the risk if it didn't work. But if it works then you have clean spare units 😃. If you try then please comment again to let us all know if it works or not 😃. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
😁 Thanks very much, I'm glad its useful information. As far as acrylic cutting is concerned, the only time I attempted to cut it was in my "Acrylic router templates for Christmas" video last year, where I show the problems attempting to cut clear acrylic. I now have a couple of coloured acrylic samples so hope to try them soon. Sorry I can't be of more help... yet 😔. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
🤔 I have no idea Lothar. I guess these kits are made to a price point and adding extra tools would increase the cost 🤔. I did clean the old lense and now keep it as a spare. I originally changed the lense as they were sent to me by Sculpfun.
@@frankslittleworkshop such a tool for loosing the lensholder is not very care......the best way to get the smoke is to use air assist . A simple silicon tube and tiny airpump is sufficent. Dont buy anything of this stuff from companies
Thanks Frank I am very new to layering and I am learning a lot from you thank again
😁 Thanks Joe. Hopefully more videos soon, as soon as I can get back in the swing of things after the Christmas break. Thanks for watching 😁 👍

Never thought about what all that smoke does to the kit before... mukky :)

Great info my be sure clip pliers would be the way to go ? But would of thought they should supply them in the kit but guess that keeps the price down

Great video. Do you have a link for the kit? Thank you for sharing this video.

I wonder if you could clean the lense, shield and cover by using a ultrasonic bath

Hi, this is really good to know for future -thank you! Can I ask something else? Have you ever cut in acrylic and if, do you have any advice for that?

@@frankslittleworkshop Thank you it was good, I will be watching the Christmas video. Thanks for the good videos you make😊👍
Why do people call this a lens? It isn't it is just a protective cover or window. Good video all the same.
😆 Probably because its easier to spell 🤣. Thanks for watching 😁 👍
why dont they provide a toy for loosening the lense..using a pinzette is a barbary and why do you not clean the old lense
🤔 I have no idea Lothar. I guess these kits are made to a price point and adding extra tools would increase the cost 🤔. I did clean the old lense and now keep it as a spare. I originally changed the lense as they were sent to me by Sculpfun.
