- Hey everyone! Are you a noob at 3D Printing like I am? Have you destroyed your FEP too? I had to learn quickly how to change my 3D Printers FEP sheet pretty quickly. I looked around and it is pretty much all the same procedure to change the FEP on a 3D Printer. Unfortunately, most videos go through it so fast that you really do not see what they are doing. So from one beginner 3D Printer to another here is a video on how to change your 3D printer's FEP sheet.

I would really like to thank you. After dealing with the Ender 3 V2 model for 3 years, I bought the Anycubic Mono X6 k resin Printer. After the feb film was broken, I was a little panicked because of the screens, but thanks to your video, I replaced it in one go. Thank you very much.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video. And thank you for the kind comment. I am glad it was helpful in resolving your problem.
Thanks so much. You were much more informative than other videos I’ve seen. You are the only video I’ve seen that bothers to explain why you need a bottle cap 😅
Thank you very much and I am glad you enjoyed the video!!
Great video! You explained this better than the company that makes the printer. Very on point and in depth with a great camera view. Thanks again!
Thank you very much. And thank you for checking out the video :)
Great tip! Thanks Kenny
Thank you Joe!
I don't have a 3D printer yet but still found the information very helpful. Thanks Kenny
Thank you George!
Great video brother. Lots of good tips. :)
Thanks Omar :) Thinking noobs may feel better and not so scared learning from a noob :)
Great video
Thanks Schuh!
After installing the FEP into the frame, run a pair of scissors around the edge to cut off the excess film. Then install the frame into the vat. It's a lot easier than trimming it off after it's installed.
This way you don't scratch the edge of your vat and it's a lot safer.
Thank you for the tip much appreciated. I did notice I was scratching it.
I have zero idea about 3D printing but nice tutorial.
Thank you :)
I see the "Tune your FEP to a specific frequency" a lot. Do you also do that?
No I never tuned the FEP. The method I use is the same way Anycubic said to change the FEP. Tuning the FEP always seemed like an odd practice to me. The only special thing I used was the bottle cap.
Great video! But when I did this, the bottle cap scuffed the FEP a bit. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I start over?
I haven't had it scuff up the FEP. How bad is it? Eventually there will be markings in the FEP it should be ok as long as it isn't too hazy.
How did you know how tight you wanted the FEP sheet? Other videos do frequency but I don't think anyone can agree on a number since everyone is using different mats / audio analyzer apps
I learned from watching the anycubic video. They didn't tune their fep at all. I just went step by step what they did.
@@HobbyLinkInternational same! It was a very nice video, I was not sure if I was supposed to tighten the screws all the way or enough where it's all even past hand tight.
@@nicholasta9499 I stopped tightening as soon a felt bottom. So far so good :)
@@HobbyLinkInternational ah.. thanks for the reference. So there's still room for me to tighten but it's more than a two finger touch. The FEP is pretty tight already where it has some give but not totally taught. I think I'll just have to do a test print 🤷
@@nicholasta9499 isn't 3d printing so much fun lol. Mine is pretty tight the nice thing is a hear more of a peel off the fep than a pop.
What size are the black screws
At work right now when I get home I will take a look.
@@HobbyLinkInternational thank you kindly 🙏
@@whoa6375 i pulled out the spare black screws that came with the printer (the larger screws) The have GX 12.9 imprinted on them. Measuring them they are 12mm in length. Fishing around a bit it seems the black ones are m4 12mm screws and the smaller ones are m3 5 mm flat top screws. I hope this helps.
@@HobbyLinkInternational helps immensely thank you 🙏 I just ordered replacements
@@whoa6375 awesome :)
Funny question, but what bottle cap did you use? I have the same printer and I destroyed the polarizing filter. I bought a new one but have to install it, just working up the energy. Mrs. Maker keeps hounding me to get it done as we need it for some Halloween parts.
I used a 16 ounce Dr. Pepper cap of course lol. Yes and you must fix it soon Halloween isn't too far off.
@@HobbyLinkInternational I need it for the Supernatural Impala Halloween build which she is on my back about starting. She runs a tight ship, she has all my builds on a large production chart with deadline dates.
@@TheMakersCave awesome!!!
Not your proudest fep
Lmao no especially my first destroyed one. That was sad.
