Hi everyone!

I’m newer to resin printing and my first FEP sheet is begining to get cloudy.

I’m just wondering if I should change my FEP sheet now or wait till when I begin to see some scratches or print defects.

When do you change your FEP?

Hi @TurkeyOnRye , generally you can get anywhere between 20-30 prints of a FEP film (depending on what you print). But when you start seeing any sort of “wear” (ie. deep scratches, indents, punctures, tears, etc.), you will want to replace the film!

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

I would have replaced it real early ahaha.

Agree, don’t wait too long, they make an awful mess when the leak. 10 minutes to change one vs 20 minutes to clean the mess…
