REPLACING FEP

If you have been looking on the internet on how to do this and come across the video by Elegoo, Please use it it’s good and most probley better then this but on there video they take it all apart and I can see why they do that and it’s better and safer and if you want to do that your more then welcome, I am just sharing what I learned from doing it myself and sharing what worked for me, So they took all the sides and bottom off and how I did it was just removing screws from the top and back and one side this means there is less stuff to get lost and not make you get overromend bay it, and its just easyer to do, 

Remove the screws from the top of the printer where the tank for the resin gose and the built plate gose and using Allen keys then remove the screws from back and the side where the off and on button is with wifi and usb by unscrews using Allen keys Remove. Please don’t let the side just fall the wifi cable is bad and to thin and hard to get, Trust me I am now with out the wifi and camera for it. That will be a other blog. But at the moment from the 03/11/25 I have got now camera and wifi for it, So please be slow and careful

AFTER REMOVING THE BLACK TAPE YOU WILL SEE A WHITE AND BLACK THING AND YOU NEED TO FLIP THE BLACK PART TO TAKE THE GOLD CABLE OUT IT FLIPS UP PLEASE TAKE YOUR TAME AND BE CAREFUL AGAIN
AFTER TAKING THE PANNELS OFF LOOK FOR THIS WHAT IS IN THE PHOTO AND REMOVE IT PLEASE BE CAREFUL
THIS NEXT PART IS IN WITH THE LCD, ON TOP OF THE PRINTER WHERE THE LCD PANEL IS THERE IS SOME TAPE AROUND IT REMOVE IT.
SADLY THIS PART IS NOT IN THE BOX, BUT IT DOSE NEED TO BE REMOVED, AFTER THE TAPE YOU WILL FIND IT ON TOP OF THE LCD REMOVE IT AND KEEP IT SAFE.
NOW REMOVE THE LCD PANEL AND THE GOLD CABLE WILL BE IN THE GAP JUST TAKE YOUR TIME. EVERYTHING ON THE LCD IS ADDED IN THE BOX

I USED POWER PRO AND IT SLOWLY REMOVED THE STICKY PART.

After letting it dry and getting everything ready, Get the double sided tape what is on a white paper with yellow on top. 

THIS WILL TAKE THE MOST TIME AND YOUR TEMPER TOO, JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND YOU WILL GET IT DONE, I FOUND THE TOP PART THE MOST HARD AND THINKING AFTER I SHOULD OF DONE BOTH OF THE SIDES FIRST THEN THE BOTTOM THEN THE TOP IT MIGHT OF BEEN BETTER
TOP TIP I FOUND IT EASIER AND IT STOPPED IT GOING DOWN ON ME USE ONE HAND TO HOLD IT IN PLACE
WRONG WAY
RIGHT WAY
LIKE INSIDE THE PRINTER THE WHITE AND BLACK PART WHAT IS FOR THE GOLD CABLE YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE TAPE THEN FLIP IT UP AND IT WILL SLIDE OUT.

We are now at the point to test the screen you can see if it’s not broke and you can see of it’s working, I didn’t put the sides on luckily I didn’t this is where I found out the WIFI is broken and I just blocked it back in and powerd on and tested the screen it worked great. I will share some photo’s on how it should look.
